Hello,

I mistakenly connect power cord in reverse and something on the board exploded ! 

Is there any way I can change a component to revive the board? 

regulator chip or sth?

Thanks,

Here is a tip for speeding up writes to a external USB 3.0 hard drive on ubuntu 18.04.

Hi guys,

Just a simple question: on my 14" pinebook (which is used daily using the excellent linux support, even layouting magazines using scribus) the keyboard is stopping functioning. '1' 'Backspace' and the right shift key don't register anymore. What should I do now? Are new keyboards available, should i wait for the  pro model to arrive ? I wouldn't mind opening the box, it has been opened before (i.e. replacing to emmc with a 64Gb one)

Any suggestions will be apriciated and sorry for any spelling mistakes as a non native speaker...

I've purchased an AV Access 4KSW41-KVM 4-port HDMI+USB KVM switch to share my USB keyboard and mouse & my HDMI monitor between my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ & my Pine64 Rock64. 

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ works as expected.
The Rock64, however, does not seem to recognize the USB devices (i.e., the keyboard & the mouse):

1. The LED inside the mouse illuminates but the desktop does not acknowledge any movement.
   
2. The USB keyboard is completely unrecognized:
   

• The Rock64 does not acknowledge any keystrokes. 
  
• Pressing the CapsLock and/or the NumLock does not cause either status light to illuminate.
  

1. I removed the power input from the Rock64.
   
2. I transferred the keyboard and the mouse to the Rock64.
   
3. I inserted the power input into the Rock64.
   

1. I transferred the keyboard and the mouse to the KVM switch.
   
2. I inserted the KVM USB-connector into the Rock64.
   

Anyone have a link to 11.6 pinebook mainboard schematics?

Better yet, anyone know how to remove the wifi/bt  card?  Or how to safely destroy it?  

Thanks!!

Decided to add a micro usb port for charging.

My 1080p Pinebook arrived this week. Here are my first few issues. Hopefully someone can help.

1. No audio device showing under the volume control on screen, and no sound.
2. Updating is failing. Looks like it wants me to provide credentials, but that pop up disappears immediately.
3. Trying to install Chrome, I get a dependency failure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all,

I just want to let you know that the wiki page states that DSI  is 32 pins, it's 30 pins not 32. Please be aware for all those planing to use it

Hi everyone,
I wanted to try Armbian for my new pinebook, so I tried the following:

- I downloaded the image https://dl.armbian.com/pinebook-a64/Ubun...desktop.7z
- I unzipped ofcourse :-)
- I inserted on old sdcard
- Then "sudo dd bs=30M if=Armbian_5.56_Pinebook-a64_Ubuntu_bionic_default_3.10.107_desktop.img of=/dev/mmcblk1p1"
- no errors when finished
- Then reboot

Result: booted into default KDEneon, not Armbian on SD card.

Am I doing anything wrong here?

Kind regards,
Giel
