Exclamation PineBook Pro shuts down immediately after booting
Posted by: zogkarndon - 12-28-2022, 01:58 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

I'm not a heavy user of my PineBook Pro, but I turned it on today and it boots, displays a login screen, and then turns itself off within a minute.

The battery should be full, although the machine doesn't stay up long enough to actually log in and check things.

Any ideas on (a) what went wrong, and (b) how to recover?

Thanks,
Eric

  Pinebook Pro for sale
Posted by: GreyHobbyist - 12-27-2022, 11:44 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

Could never get it working despite all the forum posts and tutorials and manuals and experimenting plus many frustrating hours trying to get useful software installed. Manjaro is a PIG and unresolved dependencies are the order of the day for anything useful.

Make me an offer. I can't boot to anything to clean the storage for you. It is completely and totally AS-IS.
I had it open but the so-called emmc enable is not a switch on this unit but merely a blank square sticking out of the PC board. No slide, no toggle, just bare white surface. This is entirely useless to me but may provide spare parts for someone more clever than a career electrical engineer and software architect. I can't use this.

BUT ALL MY PIXELS WORK!!!


  PinePhone Keyboard issue
Posted by: GoldenArches - 12-26-2022, 02:08 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - No Replies

I am currently having an issue with the PinePhone keyboard when I place it into my PinePhone it will charge the phone but I can’t type on it. I have the original PinePhone running Mobian Phosh as it’s os. I tried to install PinePhone Keyboard Case (ppkc) for mobian but it gives me errors when I try to run make in the directory that I cloned the repository.


Exclamation No modems were found: No mobile data, no 2G
Posted by: anonymous - 12-26-2022, 12:27 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hello

I'm unable to bring up the modem, restarting eg25-manager has no effect, I have no longer any prompt to enter my PIN code. This problem appeared last week on my very first Pinephone which is two years old, the operating system is up-to-date (bookworm). I'm completely stuck as my second Pinephone doesn't work too Sad

I tried:
sudo systemctl restart eg25-manager
mmcli -S

Do you have a suggestion?


  Netfilter not working on latest manjaro kernel
Posted by: robocone - 12-26-2022, 10:34 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (1)

When using netfilter on the latest manjaro for example, via wg-quick, it produces an error

Code:
# nft -f /dev/fd/63
netlink: Error: cache initialization failed: Invalid argument

I don't see any changes that stand out to me in the kernel configuration.

The nfnetlink module is loaded.


  PinePhone Beta dead - no boot-related output on serial interface
Posted by: horalocal - 12-25-2022, 08:23 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (1)

I have a PinePhone Beta Edition which doesn't show any signs of even starting to boot (no LEDs and no output on the serial port). It did work for a couple of weeks when it was new, and I'm not exactly sure what has changed. (To be honest, I've been focused on other projects, so it's been in a drawer for many months, but I wouldn't have expected that to cause anything more dramatic than the battery draining.)

I'm using the USB to serial/3.5mm adapter purchased from pine64 (CH340) and dip switch 6 is off. PuTTY or minicom will connect to /dev/usbTTY0 at 115200 8N1 but I get no activity in the terminal at all while attempting to start the phone.

The only signs of life from the phone are:

  • When I connect it to PinePower's USB-C PD port, the display shows a voltage of 5.0V (but 0.0A drawn), so the USB power pins can complete a circuit in some form
  • The green LED in the USB connector of the UART adapter cable stays on while the plug is connected to the phone's audio jack
  • When I hold the phone's power button for about a second, the green LED blinks once, as if some data were briefly transmitted (but nothing appears in the terminal)

Things I've tried include:
  • Booting with no SD card
  • Rewriting the SD card with Jumpdrive, Jumpdrive charging, and various other things like the 17-OS image
  • Booting with and without the battery in
  • Fully charging the battery using the external charger (which gives a green LED after a couple hours of charging, so as best I can tell the battery is fine)
  • Twiddling the other dip switches (in case one of the other components were somehow unhappy enough to inhibit boot?)

Am I right to think that the mainboard is probably fried if I can't even see U-Boot messages or some output related to boot starting through the serial console output? Is there anything else that might be worth trying, short of replacing the board?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!


Sad PinePhone carrier support
Posted by: bucnham - 12-25-2022, 03:19 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Look yo! I'm not a tech savy guy, get turned into Linux/unbuntu through a tech wizard buddy, I don't care for windows, I would just like to point out or ask the people that run the pinephone64 website, to put clearly on top of the page, big bold letters what carriers this phone works/compatible with, for not tech savy folks like me!? Like why would you not do that!? Your selling a phone, carriers a pretty important, unless it don't work with none, I could understand Linux, not working with others, I've had, unbuntu a long time, and that's been a struggle with programs over the years!! Unbuntu


  new Pinebook Pro making occasional noises
Posted by: kozak - 12-25-2022, 11:38 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Dear all,

I've gotten my hands on a new Pinebook Pro with the pre-installed Manjaro ARM recently. I've been working on it for a few days now and it suits my needs very well.

However, occasionally (I haven't managed to figure out a pattern yet), the laptop starts making weird noises: either a fairly loud "knack" (as if someone closed the lid with force) or a longer higher pitched tone which ends with a "knack". Then I can go on working on the machine for e.g. 20 minutes without any issues until all of a sudden it again makes one of the noises described above.

1. Is/has anyone encountering/encountered the same phenomenon? If this is a known issue, is there a fix for that?
2. Is this software or hardware related? What information do you need from me to evaluate that/narrow down the problem?

In the end I need to know, whether I can fix this myself or whether I need to file a warranty case with PINE.

Thanks in advance for your help!
