As part of a sort of Spring Cleaning sale, Microsoft is making available a new program where you can trade-in a Surface Pro 3, Surface 3, or Surface Pro 2 and get up to $650 trade-in dollars. There doesn’t appear to be an end-date associate with the program, but it can’t last forever.
The trade-in is available through an online mechanism and also an in-store operation. Obviously, you get more trade-in cash if the unit is working, but the program does also provide options for non-working units. But, there are stipulations that must be met for Microsoft to accept the old devices as trade-in units. They are:
The screen must not have any cracks or dead pixels.
The cursor must respond normally to touch on the display.
The housing must be completely intact without cracks or missing parts, and cannot have any etchings or asset tags.
The Surface must power on and boot all of the way to the Windows desktop.
The power button must toggle the display, and the volume button must cause the volume indicator to appear.
The device must support normal operation without being connected to a charger.
The kick stand opens and stays firmly in place.
All other facets of the Surface must function normally, including but not limited to wireless connectivity and the camera.
Trading in the power adapter and a type cover increases the trade-in value.
