PBP SD Card not booting images/IO-Errors(?!)

[bcnaz]

I want to update the progress:

I ordered a emmc to USB adapter and flashed 20.04 emmc Manjaro to emmc and put it back in PBP. Now the PBP does not boot anymore (not even LED turn on, just blank - like dead). I tried 3 Manjaro images (with same result). I also tried SD-card images again, but even then not even LEDs turn on anymore.

Any last ideas left (no UART or ttl serial)? Otherwise it will end in trash soon. (i will not sell it, because bricked devices does no one need).

Wild Guess/Suggestion :

It could be a separate problem with the battery at this point, there are some strange posts about the PBP when the battery has hit
the zero percent level, especially if it has been flat for a while.?
Most have been able to recover, . . . .  but it may be a good idea to at least check out what they posted.

ALSO  They will have replacement boards available in the store if they do not already have them...
IF they do not, and you do really want one,   I would suggest asking support, They MAY be able to find one for you...

Support CAN be very helpful if you do ask politely,  I see some posts complaining about service,
  But that was after they sent their request with a lot of four letter words.!

BEST of LUCK,
B.C.

Have you tried using balena etcher for your eMMC or SD cards ?
