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.
No, I have reset to default settings though.
I note that no boot options show up when I select 8.1/10, but my "Legacy Hard Drive" and "Legacy BEV" show up when I enable legacy boot. Do you think that a legacy only install could cause this?
There is no option for toggling secure boot, which is making me think that it's stuck on. I have disabled TPM and let it sit for a bit but nothing pops up on the screen except the regular startup screen.
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.
I've tried changing a lot of different settings and also reset to default a few times, but no luck.
Yes, the bios and touch functions perfectly fine
This whole BIOS is cryptic... what is "OS select" supposed to mean with the option for windows 7 or 8.1/10? I'd assume this is related to booting but theres little specification. Also, I can't perform a bios update
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.
No, I am not. The installation media will show a black screen as well
ChatGPT summary:
The user is experiencing a frustrating issue after installing Debian on a Getac F110-G2 tablet, which originally came with Windows 10. Although the installation seemed to work initially, rebooting led to a black screen, and attempts to reinstall from USB have failed. They've tried various troubleshooting steps, including disabling TPM and secure boot, switching between UEFI and Legacy modes, and using different USB sticks and displays. The tablet appears to be soft-bricked. The user is considering reinstalling the SSD in a PC to wipe it clean and attempt to reinstall Debian.
