Many minor hardware issues are solvable by simply restarting your machine. Always try this as the first step if a piece of hardware is not functioning as expected.
The Surface Book has two batteries, one in the keyboard and a 2nd in the tablet itself. To determine which battery is not charging properly, undock your tablet and plug your AC adapter into the bottom of the tablet. If it begins to charge, then the port on the side of your keyboard is most likely bad. If the Surface does not charge when plugged into the tablet, then your AC adapter is most likely bad.
Both of these issues will require warranty replacemy by Microsoft.
The Surface Book comes with a 1 year warranty that covers all parts and peripherals, including the battery, AC adapter and Surface Pen. Additionally WVSOM provides an extended 3 year warranty on the Surface Book tablet and keyboard, which includes accidental damage. In total your device has 4 years of warranty.
The 1 year comprehensive warranty which includes the battery, AC adapter and Surface Pen, expires one year from the date of purchase. Typically this falls in March of your first academic year.
The 3 year extended/accidental warranty on the tablet and keyboard expires on May 31 of your graduation year.
All warranty service must be initiated with Microsoft by the WVSOM IT Department. Please contat the IT Help Desk for assistance.
All lost or stolen laptops should be reported to the WVSOM IT Help Desk as soon as possible. If you experience a known theft off campus, you should contact the WV State Police to file an official police report. A copy of this police report should be presented to teh IT Help Desk.

Lost or missing accessories must be purchased by the student from Microsoft, Amazon, or some other 3rd party vendor. The IT Help Desk can supply links to the appropriate item upon request.
The tips of the Surface Pen are very easy to break, especially with heeavy use. The IT help Desk keeps a small supply of replacement tips on hand to assist sutdents should your pen break. These tips are relatively inexpensive so we recommend that students keep extras as well.
