Surface Pro 3, attempted dual boot, black screen unresponsive.

Hey there, (wasn't sure of forum category)

I attempted a dual boot on my Surface Pro 3 i5 256gb 8gb ram of Console OS (android based OS, http://consoleos.com/).

I took the necessary steps including disabling bitlocker and and de-encrypting the drive, as instructed.

Everything was going as intended until i reached the screen "Do you want to preserve Windows? Y/N?"

I hit y followed by enter, it didn't appear to register on the screen. So i did it again.

Shortly there after, the screen went black. It is unresponsive, including the power button. I can increase/decrease the keyboard backlight, which is blinking.

Any advice on what to do or go from here?

Did you disable Secure Boot?

Console OS appears to have some very specific hardware requirements, do you know if others have gotten Console OS to install on Surface devices?
