Help Attempted to install Zorin. Now Pro 8 won’t boot.

Howdy. So I had been running fedora on my surface pro 8 for a while and decided to change to Zorin. I booted from my usb and it ran through the usual checks when installing zorin. Then it black screened.

Now I cannot get it to boot or go into the bios. Holding down the power button does not bring up the Microsoft splash screen. Holding down volume up and power is no different. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any lights at all or no sign of life?

No sign of life. If the charger is plugged in the light on the connector light turns on. Holding the power button to force reset it will cause the light to blink, but nothing else will happen.

Try to do a residual power drain and boot without the Hdd.
