Hi, I've had my pinebook pro for a few years now and for the most part it did a pretty good job
sadly a few days ago i spilled coffee over the keyboard, and since then i cant get it to boot anymore.
after the spill i shut it down and tried to clean it off as good as i could, without opening up the case.

I started to do some troubleshooting, and hope someone here can help me with that, so that i can fix it, or at least order the proper replacement parts.

I have since opened it up, and noted some coffee stains in the lower shell, but luckily i could not find any on both the boards.
the battery seems to be in order as well, and removing it, closing the jumper and powering from socket produces equivalent results.

the only life sign i can see from the board is a blinking of the orange status light for a while after i (re)connect the flat-band cable to the keyboard
this only happens with the emmc module connected, and the switch enabled. An sd card with an linux image on it alone doesnt allow for blinking, the emmc seems to be necessary for it to occur.

My current theory is that some coffee must have come into the key nipples, shorting them and thus rendering the output unviable, i removed the keyboard from the upper case and tried to wash it as good as possible, it should be dry by know but it didnt help. sadly the keyboard uses a single nipple glued to each key, instead of a silicon mat like most full scale keyboards, so i cant be sure i cleaned it properly.

before ordering a replacement keyboard id like to make sure the mainboard is actually fine, but as the power button is part of the keyboard i dont know how i would be able to test that, is there some other way to power on the board that ive missed?

Hi all, I'm new here and I couldn't find the info I am searching for from the list or threads : Is there a second-hand channel or market-place for PinePhones ?

Thanks !

I connected a PCI NVMe adapter to the RockPro64, but nothing is added to 

Naked installer for Pinephone Pro, where after the base is installed I can just choose to install a gui through terminal.

I could've sworn I seen one or barebones or base on github once, now I can't find it.

Reason why is I typically install go with Mobian and then install Plasma over it, but I've got dupelicates of stuff, settings, stores, etc and tinkering around trying to remove the phosh stuff tends to typically make it fall apart and bork the rest of the way.

Hi, I am writing about the PINEPower GAN powerbank, with two usb-c and one usb-a. Would you recommend it for powering a computer and sometimes a PineCil? I read on the internet that it has some overheating problems and sometimes stops charging for a few seconds. Do you know if this is still the case? Please let me know. Thanks.

While I know about the NVMe compatibility matrix and TechPowerup's SSD database has much more info, I am still finding it difficult to find an optimal low-power large (2TB+) SSD.

From what I can determine so far from the SSD database, there are really 2 choices for low-power:

• Acer FA100
  
• Kingston NV1
  

(will buy from store if you guys add it)

I see a bunch on Am...  Anyone have any experience with and suggest a specific one?

(will buy from store if you guys add it)

So, I need to get a case.  I see tons on Am... that fit "10.3" tablet.  None of them that hit the search for PineNote have reviews.  Im sure those are just generic cases anyway.

Case concepts:
- light
- lid completely folds away
- lid can prop up the PN at 45 degrees 70 degrees ...
- lid has keyboard...bluetooth
- lid has mouse device (track pad, roller, eraser knob)
- lid is nice (subjective but we all know what quality can be had from the internet...it should look and feel nice)

So...Im guessing I may have multiple.  The lightweight one that is easy to use and has no keyboard or mouse.  Then the I need to use this as a laptop one that has keyboard and mouse.

Also...none of them should damage the PN at all (keys pressing into screen when closed, ...)

I started this tread because maybe someone has opinions/suggestions/recommendations?

(will buy from store if you guys add it)
I will need to buy more pens.  My teachers in school were not successful in teaching me how to use them.

So...there are two pens as per the wiki.  Active and EMR?  
https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineNote
It's not clear which I need on the latest (non-devel) release of PineNote.
Developer Edition uses an active pen, which is different than the passive EMR pen described in the guide.
vs

[*]Optional EMR pen with magnetic attachment (included in the first production batch)


The doc that did come with my tablet said "EMR Pen (1x)" and the pen came with replaceable points.
The pen appears to have 2x buttons.  The eraser end pushes in.  By the fingers there is a resting space and above that  a single? button.

I see a lot of pens available on Am...

Recommendations on which one is needed for which tablet?
Recommendations on a nice one that is cheap?
Do the buttons work?  How many buttons are supported.  I assume they tie into the app so Xournalpp would or would not take advantage of them?

Request for full device encryption...OS...everything.
Pin/PW on boot and wake.

Advice on where to start?

Should be a wiki article.
