New-looking and it works!
1 of 1 found this helpful It was exactly as described, and while the description allowed for some scratches and wear, it looked pretty much brand new to me. The reason I got it was that I was given my friend's Surface Pro 3 and docking station when she died. The tablet was fine, but the USB and ethernet ports on the docking station had stopped working for her some months earlier, The charging connection had also become flakey, in that it was necessary to "slam" the side pieces onto the tablet several time to get the charging LED to come on. But after a ride in the back seat of my car from her house to mine, no amount of slamming or jiggering with the connection between the dock and the tablet would turn the charging LED on, and the USB ports remained dead. Suspecting that the ride in my car had somehow damaged her docking station, I ordered this replacement.
But initially, it behaved just like the old one, Over a period of several days I would fiddle with it, but no luck. Then one day I tried grabbing the two pillars of the dock and twisting a bit. My thumb against the right pillar felt the surface of the pillar yield a little bit and I heard a slight "pop" like the freshness seal on a newly opened jar (but much softer). Low and behold, the charging LED came on! So I left it there until it was 100% charged. Then I tested the USB ports, and they worked fine, so I made a final image backup to the 500GB Western Digital My Passport USB-powered drive. It then seemed like the Ethernet port might was not working . Now that I've got a good full image backup (Macrium Reflect free edition) I'll see if doing a factory reset might help to detect it. Not critical, since any place I'd have an ethernet connection there is good WiFi.
So bottom line is that this turned the tablet from something ready for recycling into a nice little computer! Can't ask for more than that!
