Signs your Microsoft Surface Go 3 needs this repair
- Kickstand won't hold its angle
- Kickstand loose or wobbly
- Clicking or grinding when opening
- Kickstand partly detached
- Stiff or jammed hinge
- Visible damage to the hinge area
How we fix it
We inspect the hinge mechanism and its mounting points. Many loose kickstands only need the hinge tension restored or a worn part replaced.
If the hinge is broken, we fit a replacement hinge or kickstand for your Microsoft Surface Go 3 and check it holds firmly through its full range.
How long it takes
Most kickstand repairs are done within one to two working days, depending on parts.
Good to know: Open the kickstand from the centre with an even push, rather than from one corner.
Questions
Is the screen at risk from a broken kickstand?
It can be. A tablet that falls over when the kickstand gives way is a common cause of cracked screens.
Do you replace the whole kickstand?
Only if needed. We repair the hinge where we can, which is usually cheaper.
