Theoretically could that cause an issue? I'm a computer guy and I think that if one bit on a computer is flipped, that could cause a major issue with the computer, but is that the same with a human?

Kevin Gates?

eh probably not, i'll do it in new york city where nobody owns guns. also won't threaten people...

A USB keyboard works fine, and also the USB drive is detected when it is bootable. Only one USB port but the tablet supports pxe boot. Do you think I could get mileage off of that if I set up a server on my other laptop and connected them via ethernet? I can flash the drives with dd and they show up when plugged in. I also tested that they can boot on my laptop which they can.

I can't speak to the boot order because ive always used the boot menu to select manually what I want to boot, to be cautious, but I have tried shifting it and that didn't help.

Do you think that removing the ssd will help? I can't see a way it will, but I might as well give it a shot because its my last chance really.

I cannot see grub at all.

The mystery is why even windows won't boot now. I might tell getac about this and ask for help, unfortunately this isn't under warranty so I won't be getting a replacement.

I'm going to re-install windows to make sure the tablet is functional, and then repeat the process. The weird part is any live linux usb doesn't work either. It is a strange issue, thanks for your help.

I have tried to use my tv but it showed a black screen as well, the bios shows up and works fine so I'd imagine its not hardware related.

Yes, the bios and touch functions perfectly fine

absolutely no grub or anything. this is probably my fault somehow though because ive heard of other people using it fine, and the overall compatibility was decent when it booted.

or add it to path
