Hello,
I've got the Pinetime, however the screen is simply black on it, though the backlight is on. I've let the battery run out to try to fix it, but its still black when it powers back up. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi. I set aside my Pinebook Pro (with the default Manjaro) for a year while I was working on other things, and in the meantime I forgot my password. I don't have it set to require a password on boot, so I can get into the computer. But I can't perform any sudo commands or run the updater.

How can I get this to work?

Thanks,
Tessa

I discovered running sudo apt upgrade breaks armbian. After upgrade, it boots to a black screen. It is repeatable. Version 24.2.1 works.

Hello to everyone.

I want to assemble some kind of tablet powered by FreeBSD. The main electronic components of this tablet that I've bought or that I want to buy in the next future are the following :

1) soc = RockPro64 (Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core SoC) : already bought

2) this enclosure : (already bought)

https://ameridroid.com/products/pine64-p...eq=uniform

3) these batteries : https://www.ebay.com/itm/315203768497 ---> not yet bought

Since I want to create a "tablet" that will be powered by FreeBSD,I need an USB display that does NOT requires any driver to work and the size should fit with the enclosure at point 2 that I like ; because I'm not a programmer, I will be not able to make the porting of a driver from Linux to FreeBSD. I also would like to reuse the screen for different projects,so it is great if it can be powered and work only connecting the HDMI cable from the screen to the soc.

Can someone suggest to me one ? thanks.

I see this part is out of stock.  Will it be in stock again at some time?

I have two Pinebooks Pro on which the left hinge has broken free.  I assume that the Bottom Case is all I'll need to fix these. Or is it just the magnesium cover? (I don't need that)
Maybe the palm case is what I need. Is it possible to get two? @tllim I see there is a limit of one.

Since I want to create a "tablet" that will be powered by FreeBSD,I need an USB display that does NOT requires any driver because I'm not a programmer. I will be not able to make the porting of a Linux driver to a FreeBSD.


1) I'm not sure if the display at point 4) is a good display for me because I don't understand if its size can match with the size of the enclosure at point 2.

2) I'm not sure if it can be powered by the USB port of the RockPro64 and it is ready to work

3) Eventually I want to reuse it for another device,so I don't want to be forced to use a special connector that will work only on the RockPro64 RK3399. I hope there isn't the needing to use a special connector / adapter that could even requires a driver.

That's all. If you think that the display suggested by me is not good,please explain to me why and suggest me another display that can work. Very thanks.

Hello Pine64 community,

I'm looking for a virtual number app to use on my phone, primarily for account verifications and potentially for small business purposes later on. Ideally, the app should be easy to use, have good privacy features, and if possible, offer a free trial or some bonus credits.

Has anyone here tried an app that they’d recommend? I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,
I recently purchased a Pinecil to repair my headphones.

Before tackling the headphones, I practiced soldering jump wires to a proto board. While the soldering process itself was quick and neat, the desoldering proved to be quite a challenge. I spent an hour and a half trying to desolder a jump wire at 400°C, but I was unsuccessful. The solder just wouldn't adhere to the desoldering braid, and even when it did, it would immediately get stuck, preventing me from heating it enough to return to a liquid state.

Could my struggles with desoldering be due to using a 45-watt power supply? Would switching to a 65-watt supply make a difference?

I wasn't paying attention and accidentally installed Factory SailfishOS and overwrote the Tow Boot, I attempted to finish the installation and click the two prompts after clicking "whatever" part 1 and where it asked if I wanted to encrypt phone which I chose no then told me to Reboot after it was done processing. 

Now all it does when I power on is the green led just flickers a few times and that's it.

But when what I want to do is install Ubuntu Touch.

Do I need Tow Boot or uBoot
