      Well, this is fan-fucking-tastic. My brand new Surface Book 2 has locked the screen in place, while the fans in the base are firing like jet engines. BONUS: the base section WON'T SHUT DOWN on Windows shutdown because the display section thinks the base is already disconnected.pic.twitter.com/PMDRXAAdeb

      Surface Book 2 display section: "Sorry dude - battery is dead, no way you can get into Windows right now" Base section: "Screw that, I'm powering up my fans to full throttle and GOING TO MARS"pic.twitter.com/olyWWgcXAe

      Latest: display section battery = completely empty so can’t access Windows or BIOS. Base section now randomly powering fans up and down every few seconds, with no way to make it stop. No way to charge display section since the two sections aren’t communicating with each other.pic.twitter.com/ZqJWlIZm2x

      This would be hilarious if a) I wasn’t leaving on a trip in 40 hours for which I need this computer; and b) it hadn’t cost a fucking fortune in the first place

      I assume the computer will have the last laugh and eventually burn my apartment down as I sleep, since there's no way I can now fully shut it down without beating it to death with a sledgehammer. 🤔 🔨🔨🔨

      With so little time remaining before my upcoming trip, there was only one solution: I've just ordered ANOTHER Surface Book 2, which will (hopefully) arrive three hours before I leave for the airport on Sunday. I'll have to deal with the ball-ache of the broken SB2 separately.

      Meanwhile, the broken SB2 continues to power its fans up and down every few seconds, and I assume it will just randomly burst into flames at some point when my back is turned.
