So is that a surface, or the chinese brand that looks exactly like it?  I know we've talked about them before, can't remember which one you ended up getting?

I think the problem is there's a cat in your computer.

A common problem.  They freeze up your computer because they scare off the computermouse.

surface Pro 4. It has the equivalent of the RROD 360 problem. Built in hardware fault they cannot repair or software fix. They should send a replacement unit. I'm hoping brand new and not a refurbished unit. Also I'm hoping they send a pro 5 or 6? I don't even know if they sell pro 4s anymore, especially given the screen scramble issue.

I know what you mean.  The PSN monthly games are awesome and though technically not free, they are pretty dirt cheap.  It’s a great service for the number of games alone.

That's the main reason I subscribed to XBL in the first place, for the free games.  I couldn't care less for online play.  However, after my subscription expired I didn't renew it as the free games were getting crappier every month.  Then I got gifted that card.  Very happy I've been able to finally put it to good use.

Holy shit!!!! Spiritual sequel to ActRaiser (that basically looks like a rip-off but who cares?)!!!

I’ve never played Actraiser 2, but loved the first one.  Is two as good, worth a purchase.

ActRaiser 2 is notoriously bad. The entire city building portion of the game was removed and the game only focused on action. However they ramped up the difficulty to an insane level and it was no fun to play whatsoever.

The decision to do that was apparently made by the North American head of Enix and he later went on to say he completely misread the game's success. The whole thing was comically bad.

Earlier today, I finally got around to messing with Breath of the Wild a bit more. I've put a good chunk of time into this game, but still haven't made much progress in the quest.

I made it to one of the first real boss battles, and I am not joking when I say I died more times than I've probably ever died in all other Zelda games COMBINED in this game, and during this fight. As crazy as it is...they almost made this game TOO hard in places. Like, beyond Dark Souls hard. At least for me anyway...maybe it's just me. But I find myself getting frusstrated to a level I would not expect from Zelda.

I hope the rest of the game isn't going to piss me off. Hopefully once I build up a big enough stable of cheap breakable swords & get some better armor, I'll be OK.

LINK - You got 3 years from date of purchase, warranty or no warranty to get it replaced if an issue emerges. If you notice the screen scrambling or constant flickering, shut down the system. Then power it on by holding down the UP volume button then pressing power once. You will get a UEFI screen, if it is still flickering/scrambled then you can take a video and contact MS about it.



Surface Pro 4 screen flickers or is scrambled
Applies to: Surface Pro 4




Creating the best products and experiences for our customers is our top priority. We have heard your feedback and after careful examination, have determined that a small percentage of Surface Pro 4 devices are exhibiting what we refer to as a "scramble." Note that this issue cannot be addressed with a firmware or driver update. To support customers affected by this specific symptom, we will replace eligible Surface Pro 4 devices for a total of three years from the date of purchase, free of charge, for scramble issues only. This offer does not change or impact any warranty on the product.




Replacement Process



First, ensure that you have installed all the latest Surface and Windows Updates. Surface and Windows updates are designed to keep your device running in an optimal state. If the scrambling persists on the screen with all current updates installed, please contact Microsoft support. Once an agent has confirmed that your device is eligible for replacement, you will need to prepare your Surface for service. We will ship you a replacement device as soon as we receive your existing device. Typically, it will take 6-8 business days for you to receive an exchange device from the date that you ship your current device back to us.



How can I tell if my Surface is eligible for replacement?

The eligibility period on eligible Surface Pro 4 devices for the scramble symptom is three years from the date of purchase.


Check your warranty status online by visiting https://support.microsoft.com/devices, signing in with your Microsoft account, and selecting your device. If you haven’t registered your device, click Register new device.


  • If your device is still in-warranty, you may create a service order online at https://support.microsoft.com/devices
  • If your device is out-of-warranty but within 3 years of the date of purchase, please contact Microsoft support for assistance.
  • If your device is out-of-warranty and beyond 3 years of the date of purchase, we may still have options available to you, please contact Microsoft support for these available options.
  • Only Surface Pro 4 devices, of any configuration, are covered under this program.
  • This offer is specifically about the symptom of “screen scramble,” though it may be refered to as “flicker.” We define flicker as a different set of symptoms.
  • This offer is extended to both consumers and commercial customers.
  • This program does not apply to Devices damage caused by:
    • use with products not sold or licensed by Microsoft
    • any external cause (for example, by being dropped, exposed to liquid, or used with inadequate ventilation)
    • a repair done by anyone other than Microsoft or an authorized retailer or reseller.
  • The extension of a free replacement is applicable only for the Surface Pro 4 devices that are experiencing a scrambled screen as appropriately qualified by the agents. If the device is not qualified for replacement and /or for other repair needs, customers will continue to receive service under their existing Limited Warranty support or Microsoft Complete.
  • Microsoft provides replacement devices which are refurbished to the defined quality standards.
  • Customers who have already paid an out-of-warranty fee to repair a scrambled screen issue will be offered a refund and should contact Customer Support for validation.

So errr.

What happens if Trumps tax is still going next year when new consoles launch? Isn't it like 25-40% or something?

Would the consoles be that much more expensive? If not and they had plants relocated would the cost of relocation bump the price up of individual consoles? Would there be a supply chain problem, console shortages? Not being able to make enough/sell enough so profits constrained too?

Thanks for the link GG. My Surface just passed the 3 year mark though (boo!), but so far I haven't experienced said issue (yay!).

I've been looking to replace it anyhow, just waiting for a great deal.

The keyboard is annoying me. It works fine but why give it a fabric shell? It just absorbs all dirt. And you cant wipe it clean.

Years worth of fapping is starting to build up.

FFS, GG, keep a towel handy and you won’t have build up on your keyboard.
