About the Microsoft Surface Go 3
The Microsoft Surface Go 3 is a Surface tablet with a glued-in screen, part of the Surface tablet range. It was released in 2021.
Its memory is soldered to the board, so it can’t be upgraded after purchase, but the SSD can be replaced. As a tablet-style design, it has no laptop hinge to wear out. New parts are readily available, so most repairs use new components.

- Screen replacement: The screen is glued to the frame and must be removed with heat and care.

- Battery replacement: The battery sits behind the screen; we replace it without damaging the display.

Microsoft Surface Go 3 questions
Can you get my files off a Microsoft Surface Go 3 that won’t turn on?
Usually, yes. The Microsoft Surface Go 3 has a removable drive, so we can often read it directly even if the rest of the laptop is dead. If the drive itself has failed, we recover your files from a copy.
How long does a Microsoft Surface Go 3 repair take?
Screen, keyboard and battery repairs are often done the same day when the part is in stock. Board repairs take a few days, and we give you a timescale with the quote.
