Troubleshoot Surface Duo screen issues

Note: If your screen is cracked, we recommend that you submit a service order—go to Device Service and Repair and register your device. Then you can select your Surface and start the service order. You may also need to prepare your Surface Duo for service.

If your Surface Duo screen isn’t working properly, here are some ways you may be able to get it working again:

  • If your screen is flickering, looks yellow, or has other problems, you can reset your Surface Duo to factory settings

  • If your screen won’t power on, you can:

    • Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.

    • Try a different charger and USB-C cable.

    • Charge the device for an hour.

There's one last step you can take. If these steps don't resolve the problem, service and support options may be available to assist you.
