My type cover does not work and I left my surface aside the battery drained. I put it in the socket and the type cover worked. What will it be?

are you saying that after you drained the battery completely until it shut down
because it was out of power and then plugged it into the wall that the type
cover started working?
or are you experiencing battery issues in addition to your type cover issue.
>>My type cover does not work and I left my surface aside the battery drained. I put it in the socket and the type cover worked.
The battery is functioning normal. My type cover does not work, but it only connects when I leave the Surface completely unloading. Besides letting it unload, I leave a few hours without calling. After all this, I'm going to turn on the type cover works.
ie the type only connects when the battery is unloaded. But if the battery charge and I reboot or disconnect the surface no longer cares.
I don't understand your use of the words "unloading" and "leave a few hours
without calling".
It seems like you are saying that if you completely drain the battery that the
type cover works until you restart and the battery is charging.
I know you have been posting about this in several threads and have started
several threads, but this definitely sounds like a hardware problem.
If this is the case, the ONLY thing you can do is contact support for an out of
warranty exchange and if you are not in a country where the SP3 is/was
officially sold, you will need to find someone in a supported country to handle
all of this for you.
Sorry, but this is the bottom line.

1 - Battery is over.
2 - Press button on appears a white ball low battery.
3 - Leave the surface for some time without turning on. Leave about 2 hours unplugged.
4 - When the low battery white ball does not appear put in the energy.
5 - Power on Surface.
6 - Working Keyboard.
7 - Turning Surface Off
8 - Keyboard not working anymore
For turn on you need to do the process again. Drain battery and turn on surface. Working Keyboard
Now I left the surface turned on with the keyboard working, I'll leave up to 100% battery and then turn off to see if the keyboard will work.
