Surface Keyboard & Type Cover Repair Malaysia
Keys not working, Type Cover not detected, connector damage, or Alcantara wear — we fix it all. From RM 150. 90-day warranty on every repair.
Common Surface Keyboard Problems
We see these issues daily across Surface Pro Type Covers, Surface Laptop keyboards, and Surface Book base units.
Keys Not Responding / Dead Keys
One or more keys stop registering. Common on Type Covers after 2-3 years of daily use. Usually caused by worn scissor mechanisms or a failing ribbon cable inside the cover.
Type Cover Not Detected / Connector Issue
The Surface Pro doesn't recognise the Type Cover at all — no backlight, no input. Caused by dirty or oxidised pogo pin contacts on the device, or bent connector pins from repeated docking.
Broken or Bent Connector Pins
The magnetic connector pins on the bottom of the Surface Pro can bend from drops or forceful attachment. Bent pins cause intermittent connection — the keyboard works at certain angles but not others.
Sticky or Stiff Keys
Keys feel sticky, mushy, or require excessive force. Often caused by liquid spills, crumbs, or dust accumulating under the keycaps. Common on both Type Covers and Surface Laptop keyboards.
Alcantara Fabric Damage / Staining
The Alcantara-covered Type Covers (Pro 4-7, Laptop 1-2) absorb oil from hands, coffee spills, and general grime. The fabric darkens, stains, and eventually degrades — affecting both looks and resale value.
Backlight Not Working
The keyboard backlight fails to turn on or flickers. On Type Covers, this is usually a ribbon cable fault. On Surface Laptops, it can indicate a deeper mainboard connection issue.
