Has anyone had problems with their surface not charging? I'm at a hotel and the charger is not working on any outlet but all of those same outlets are working and can run my phone charger and computer charger.
I rebooted. This thing has been babied and free from water or any damage. So googling this but otherwise will have to fly without it tomorrow.

Is the charging plug set in the Surface correctly? Seems like if it's not just so, it looks like it's secure but isn't.

I've also realized that ..
1) It's an incredibly slow machine, and
2) If you let it "sleep" overnight without shutting it down the batteries will be depleted.

I haven't had that issue but mine seems riddled with other issues...... To me it seems like a typical Microsoft product as it just doesn't quite "cut the mustard". I really hope they get these things running more reliable plus give us some useful functionality beyond paper replacement.
It's down to 30% and I have a lot of flying starting early. I guess it'll be back to paper charts. These rests online have a lot to do with wiping the thing out which isn't an option.

1) is the little blue light illuminated on the plug into the tablet? If so, then you have power. It's not the charger or the outlet.
2) its easy to misinterpret the battery status. The tablet charges "separately" from the keyboard. They charge one at a time up to certain percentages. At first glance it might say "plugged in not charging" for one of the two components but the other one is charging. Make sure you click on the battery status icon in the system tray at the bottom of the screen and see if one of them is charging.

FTB, sounds like the charger is bad. Try your CA's charger.

One other thing I've done with mixed results is flip the power connector 180 degrees where it joins the surface. Somebody else mentioned the blue light on the plug, I check for the white light at the tip of the connector, like 2 or 3 small white bands of light tells me it has power.
