Unfortunately to report, last night my brand new (got in on Jun 20) Surface Pro battery has died without warning. The device can now only power on and function with charging cord, as soon as it is unplugged the screen blacks out and device is off permanently.
To recap the events:
Surface was working perfectly the whole day. Then I plugged it in for charge and also connect it to TV via mini display port. Then as I was leaving I unplugged the mini display port cord first then the charging cord, and that's when screen just went dark and device is off. At first I thought this might be one of those problems that has been in the forums regarding sleep/hibernate mode but it isn't since I tried force shut off, cold reboot keys and everything else that could turn on the device but nothing worked until I got back home and plug in the device then it could power on. However, the system was running noticeably slower and laggy. And as soon as I unplug the charging cord it blacks out. Also, when it's on, the battery status reads: "plugged in, not charging". I've tried resetting the device and a few more cold reboots, but nothing helped.
Really don't know why this happened and fingers crossed that it is an isolated case. Going to Microsoft help desk in a bit, will update here....
