    Hi @Diego Alexander Portillo Romero,  

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    Thank you for providing the update regarding your Surface Pro 4. I understand that despite following the standard troubleshooting procedures, the device remains stuck on the "Surface" logo screen. 

    Since the issue persists after preliminary troubleshooting, I recommend reaching out directly to the Microsoft Surface Support Center for further assistance. By escalating this to their specialized team, you will have access to support agents who possess the in-depth technical knowledge and diagnostic tools required to resolve hardware-level or complex firmware concerns. 

    To initiate a support request, you may follow these steps: 

    1. Visit the Microsoft Support Website: Navigate to the official Surface Support page. 
    2. Sign In: Use your Microsoft account associated with the device. 
    3. Describe the Issue: Briefly mention that the device is stuck on the boot screen and that standard troubleshooting steps have already been exhausted. 
    4. Choose a Support Option: Depending on your location and warranty status, you may be offered a live chat, a callback, or instructions for a repair request. 

    Please have your device's serial number ready, as the support agent will need it to verify your device details and provide the most efficient solution. 

    If there is any other information you need from my side to assist, please let me know.

    If your Surface Pro 4 is stuck on the "Surface" screen, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

    1. Force Restart: Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds until the device turns off. Then, turn it back on.
    2. Check for Updates: Make sure your Surface is fully updated. You can check for updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
    3. Boot into UEFI: If the issue persists, try booting into the UEFI settings. To do this, press and hold the volume up button while pressing the power button until the Surface logo appears. Release the volume button when you see the UEFI screen.
    4. Run Surface Diagnostic Toolkit: Use the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit to run diagnostics on your device. This can help identify any hardware issues.
    5. Recovery Options: If none of the above steps work, you may need to consider using a recovery USB drive to reset your Surface or restore it to factory settings. You can create a recovery drive from another Windows PC.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
