PBP became not-bootable after replace new mainboard.
#1
Hi. I once used pinebook pro with emmc installed armbian without any problem.

but I actually burn motherboard a littlebit as there was kind of electical fault on charging, so I bought new motherboard for pinebook pro and replaced.

and now, It became never booted.

Once Armbian logo and circle appears, it suddenly stucks after few times of circulation.

A funny thing is that when I re-assemble BURNT mainboard again, it boots normally again.
(Only problem is that I can't charge pbp.)



I even tried to install new OS with microsd, but the result was same.

Manjaro, I could only see the splash logo and never booted.

I think I met a little luck, so I actually once succeed on microsd boot, but that was all.

After first-boot setting up, I couldn't do never boot again.


I think I have received a fault production... right?

Ah, I have re-used eMMC module that I used before.

wrong, it seems there are, all of a sudden, a lot of bad uboots out there
armbian or manjaro??, it is not clear which you have installed
anyway, if you disable/remove emmc it will likely boot from SD
Once you see splash screen, uboot is done, compleatly out of the picture
So, something in the OS is also not right (for new mb?)

Oh. I see. 
Once I tried to boot Armbian with uSD, the splash screen appeared and ring just keep circles around 1 hour.
maybe... I think it happened by the uSD speed because it is a class-4 one.

I will try another with class-10 faster one
Thank you for ensuring that is not production fault : )

Well, I did try everything with several fast uSD cards, but it keeps stuck on rining circles...

With Fedora, only I could see was a kernel panic, and with Armbian, I could see services initializing failure.


The device name was Pine64 Pinebook Pro (DT).

Is there any difference (DT)?

Try some other OS?

yes. everything I tries just shows kernel panic

power led just blink with red and green.


I think the board is just fault product.

It doesn't make sense that perfectly-did-worked-eMMC doesn't work with new board.

and I'm using same uSD which worked with PBP before.


Is there any way to get assistance with refund or replace/fix?
