In another news, the tech giant is now recalling the power cords used by the Pro 3,  Pro 2 and Surface Pro. This is because the cables can overheat when they are pinched, twisted or wound very tightly. Free replacement cables will be offered to affected users with a process that will be revealed on January 22, 2016.

According to reports, the recall notice will cover Surface Pro-family devices sold before July 15, 2015. Fortunately, the Surface Pro 4 and Surface (non-Pro) slates are okay.

The company plans to advise consumers to stop using harmful power cords and to dispose of them in agreement with local regulations.

Keep in mind that power cords should not be wrapped too tightly or bent because they can be damaged this way. A few firms use softer cables or equip the cables with some form of cable management. Power cords of Microsoft Surface Pro come with a small hook.
