Pine A64+ won't boot?

[ML-Anderal]

I had this issue with a 5V 2A power supply and I will explain it to you as they did to me when I had this exact issue. The power adapter you are using may have a safety switch to not allow devices to pull to much power.

If it is a phone power adapter or any other kind that connects USB to a power adapter and source try to connect it to a computer via USB.

If it is a wall plug I would try using a phone cable to a laptop or desktop computer.

I had to purchase adapters online (Amazon) for the Raspberry Pi 2 that was mini usb to wall plug and those have worked fine for my developer 1GB board. Before that though I was plugging it into a laptop or desktop because the safety system in my wall power adapter would not allow me to boot and sometimes it would boot for like 1 minute and shut down... etc... issues like crazy but now that I have a stable power source I have never had it shut down on its own.

(Quick Reminder to everyone.) If you plug a external Hard Drive or other device that may consume a lot of power YOU MUST MAKE SURE IT HAS ITS OWN POWER SOURCE..... Now small usb flash drives are fine but external hard drive, speakers that are more than just 2 channel or anything other than a perphiral or hand held controller needs its own power source or it will shut the board down when you plug it in. Hope that helps anyone it may pertain to!
