- I have a surface pro 3, suddenly the type cover key board stopped working, I tried all the solutions in the internet, volume up and power button, brushed the magnets underneath, filter keys and updated the drivers as well, but nothing works, But one unique thing that is happening in the keyboard is, The back light keeps flashing non stop when i connect it with the surface pro, even when.
When it comes to saving battery, one of the things that you can do that is effective is to turn off the keyboard backlight of your Surface device. Note that other mobile devices will benefit from this as well, but that they may or may not support functionality to turn off the lighting of the keyboard.
The Surface Pro ships with a sensor built-in that will activate the light on the keyboard to highlight the keys better. This is a useful feature as it helps you identify the keys on the keyboard which may be an issue in low-light environments.
This is not much of an issue if the Surface device is connected to a power outlet, but if it runs on battery, you will notice that the lighting makes the battery drain faster.
The guys over on Linus Tech Tips ran battery saving tests recently which concluded that turning off the keyboard backlight extends battery use before you need to recharge by about 16%.
Other beneficial battery saving tweaks included:
- Removing mouse and keyboard peripherals (20%-30% longer battery life on a single charge)
- Turning down the brightness of the display to 50% (16% longer battery life, turning it further own is less efficient).
Last flight I accidentally discovered hidden Surface Type Cover hotkeys / key-bindings. Who would have thought Fn-Backspace / Fn-Del would actually generate.
