Novice question: Pinebook Pro does boot (does it?) but black screen
#13
This morning I opened  the PBP and flipped the emmc switch to off (away from the hinge). Then put in the microSD with Debian, but that didn´t make a differerence, unfortunately. The graphics are still scrambled. I even removed the emmc completely to see if that did make a difference, but as probably could be expected it didn´t.
Booting from USB tot Arch still works, though.

In the mean time, just to be prepared, I ordered the USB-to-emmc-adapter, although it will take about two weeks before delivery.

Are there more suggestions to try to solve this? Is it for instance usefull to try to boot from SD with another OS flashed to it or will it give me the same result? I can always try, but if that is a dead-end street for certain I would rather not.
Or is this the opportunity to learn how to use Arch linux. Things that are not mutually exclusive, off course.
