Replace surface dock

To exchange a Surface Dock under warranty, use the standard Surface service flow rather than trying to register the dock itself as a standalone device.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to account.microsoft.com/devices and sign in with the Microsoft account used for the Surface.
2. Make sure the Surface device (laptop, Pro, etc.) is registered to the account. If not, register it first.
3. Select the registered Surface device, then choose Start order.
4. When asked for Category, select Accessory.
5. For Issue type, select the Surface Dock (or the closest matching accessory option).
6. Add details in the note field (describe that the dock is faulty and a known-good dock works), then continue to complete the service order.

If the dock is a Surface Dock 2 and appears directly in the list of accessories for the device, it can also be serviced via the same Start order flow when selecting that accessory.

If online service creation is not available in the region or still does not show the accessory options, use the general warranty/service entry point at support.microsoft.com/warranty and follow the “Start a service order for a personal device” link to reach the same device selection and order creation flow.

For business/IT-managed environments, IT admins can also access centralized support and warranty service for Surface docks via the Surface Management Portal or Surface Support Portal as documented for Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock and Surface USB4 Dock.
