Surface service options

Most newer Surface devices are designed to facilitate the repair or replacement of primary components like the solid-state drive (SSD), keyboard, or display. With the purchase of a new commercial Surface for Business device, you can maximize your investment with services and repair1 options.

If your Surface stops working, there are several options to service, repair, or replace components on your device.

Every commercial device comes with a minimum 1-year Microsoft Limited Hardware warranty. For added peace of mind, Microsoft Protection Plans2 offer extended coverage and services that help you with every stage of support you might need for your Surface devices, from deployment to replacement.

If you need to service a device covered by Microsoft's Limited Hardware Warranty3 or a Microsoft Protection Plan, we recommend commercial customers open service requests via a self-serve portal. Or if you want to service devices yourself with self-serve replacement components, see Customer self-serve repair.

Note

Self-serve replacement components are currently only available for purchase separately, independent of the warranty status of your device. Replacement components may be refurbished
