Surface Pro 3 re-image through USB
if it can, mostly show that the hardware is OK.
for Pro 4, to enter BIOS, press "Volume +" and Power keys in the same time,
I think Pro 3 should be same with Pro 4
Good luck

Turning off Secure Boot (Surface screen goes red), boot order, TPM, it always seems to boot the USB and screen goes black (it keeps the screen on tho, so I know the device doesn't turn off)

so, the hardware seems OK and the problem might be USB disk can not boot
Please follow this link:
1. download the win10 iso file.
2. use Media Creation tool to create a USB installation disk.
However, I did not try this tool because I use other tool to create USB installation disk,
Rufus, https://rufus.ie/downloads/,
Hope this help

Thanks for your suggestion. Just tried it once again using Microsoft's Media creation tool. I created a Win10 (both x86/x64 build) but once booted the screen gets stuck in this step. The circling bullets, they just keep circling, without any progress. Any ideas?
