Yet Another PPP That Won't Turn On

[Pinoideae]

Once the Pin64 Store has more batteries in stock, I plan to buy a couple of those, as well as the official Pin64 battery charger.

Is that an external battery charger like this one?:

But their official version? It'd be funny if it was the same charger but with a Pine logo on it...

The official Pine64 charger charges the battery stand-up style and has the battery pins hard set, I believe.

The one from Amazon uses a different design, amongst other things allowing adjusting the charging pins to charge a range of cells. 

The Amazon charger (which I have) seems to work fine charging the Pine cell.

I am having this issue as well. I have tried multiple times to follow the steps to recover from a drained battery as directed by the wiki (https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_Pro). I have tried multiple cables. I can see the device with lsusb, but after leaving the device to charge on the computer's USB port overnight twice, with different cables each time. I still cannot boot the phone. The only difference is I have a macbook pro, not a bare metal Linux host. Is there anything else I could try?

If you have your 1st generation PP, charge the battery in that.  It willl charge quickly.  Swap PP battery with PPP battery after charged.  PPP always works.  Batteries are the same rating.  Recharge PPP battery in PP and swap off again.
