   Any of my tech chaps know how to fix microsoft surface older models? I had one and after taking it out (it no longer turns on), it starts getting white crust around it (must be battery issue)

     Thanks @BowsacNoodle for the mention.
     
     I purposefully do not work on the Microsoft Surface models because most of them were designed to be unrepairable.
     
     Sorry to hear that yours stopped working @whiteman_ . Please don't put any serious money into trying to fix it. You can try power resets, trying to power on without the battery in it, et cetera.
     
     And... also don't buy another Surface to replace it. A refurbished ThinkPad or other business class computer would be more reliable and serviceable.
