Review on πŸ’‘ Surface Go Charger: 24W Power Supply Adapter for Microsoft Surface Go/Pro 4 Core m3/Pro 3 by Flavio Scarola

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good chance it fried my Surface.

I lost my original Surface charger so we bought this one. It's half the price of the official charger, but there's probably a reason for that. We plugged my dead Surface into a charger. When I tried to use it, I was greeted with a black screen of death. After that, it took a lot of work to fix the hard drive. When I spoke to the Geek Squad about the fix, they said they'd heard reports of third-party chargers drawing too much power and frying hardware. Whether it happened to me or not, I would only pay for the official brand if I knew it was possible. We won't be using it again so we bought a Microsoft charger from Best Buy as a result. Luckily my Surface is running.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
