Microsoft SE - Opx0001 - 04-05-2023
Hey guys, I want to SE a Microsoft laptop (surface pro), I've got a serial number but it appears that the warranty has expired 2 months ago. I originally wanted to do the disposed of faulty item method, problem is I don't know if Microsoft knows that the user has been using the product. Any approaches/thoughts?
Update: The serial number is registered to a country which I do not reside in.
Update: I got a different serial number, and this time the product is under the one year limited warranty.

I did M$ few times. If you live in USA you need s/n of USA. You need also invoice and good ftid service. They send replacement after courier investigation. Make sure, that your device was bought from different site than official Microsoft store, and it was not repaired by M$.

Thing is, I’m trying to aim to get it replaced without all that boxing nonsense.

Boxing nonsense? Hah, that’s the key. You send them faulty item and then they send you a new one. Good luck to do this without nonsense boxing.

You either box them or you don't.
