Windows 10: Surface Pro 4 - Volume stuck at 100% and will gradually go up if turned down

Basically, I can't turn down my volume. It will gradually go up, and will keep doing so.

When I turn it down I cannot turn it up again.

This is most likely a hardware problem as my computer also keeps booting in a UEFI loop with the symbols in the upper right corner showing that this was done through the volume and power button being pressed. I have to boot it by using internal memory or windows boot manager.

I truly tried everything I could to fix this problem.

I even cleaned its slate.

I also believe it is a hardware issue because I cleaned the heck out of it. Factory reset and everything, meaning old drivers, malware, anything software related couldn't interfere.

And yet...

And yet...

I still go through the same boot loop on uefi.

My volume still is stubbornly refusing to change.


My surface is over 4 years old. I can't afford to get it serviced and I need to fix this so I can keep using it or sell it. It is WELL passed its warranty so I am all ears as to how to fix my baby. I can probably afford replacement parts but the big issue is what parts should I fix and how do I open her up.

And before you ask, yes the problem persisted through many updates after the factory reset. I tried everything software related and am ready to get in my surface pro 4's guts and take care of her physically

Problem updating Windows Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 feature updates

Hi,

I have manage to install image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 by going to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...erecoveryimage and download a recovery image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4.

What I did to reset your Surface from a USB recovery drive was:
Step 1: Make sure your Surface is turned off and plugged in (hold down the power
button for 30 seconds).
Step 2: Insert the USB recovery drive into the USB port on your Surface.
Step 3: Press and hold the volume-down button while you press and release the
power button on your Surface.
Step 4: When the Surface logo appears, release the volume button.
Step 5: When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want.
Step 6: Select Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
If prompted for a recovery key, select Skip this drive at the bottom of the
screen.
Step 7: Select the target operating system you wish to reset. This
refers to the current operating system installed on your Surface.
Step 8: Select Yes, repartition the drives, and on the next page, select Next.
Step 9: Choose Just remove my files.
Step 10: Select Reset.
Surface restarts and the Surface logo displays while the reset process continues
(this can take a while).

This always fails and I have to do the below which continues installation.
Windows 10 Installation Media:

1. Insert the Media (DVD/USB) in your PC and restart.
2. Boot from the media.
3. Select Repair Your Computer.

Select Troubleshoot.

1. Choose Command Prompt from the menu:

Type in the command:
Diskpart
Type in the command:
List disk (Note which disk is your Boot drive number mine is 0)
Type in the command:
Sel disk 0
Type in the command:
List vol (Note which volume is the EFI partition mine is 4)
Type in the command:
Sel vol 4
Type in the command:
assign letter=V:
Type in the command:
Exit
Type in the command:
V:
After you have assigned a drive letter Using Diskpart You can format the EFI partition:
Example: if you assigned a letter V to the partition the command would be:
format V: /FS:FAT32
Type in the command:
bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI


Now I have an issue that I cannot install Feature Updates. They keep failing to install.
Any ideas how to resolve issue?
