So Im thinking of building a Pine64 cluster for a homelab over a Pi for a couple reasons, also being able to order more than one of the same type.
Their website sells USB to barrel power adapters awesome! But I need a power strip that can output 5V 3A for at least four USB ports.
I am not honestly that familiar with power usage and finding pieces but I see a lot of 2.4Amps with a max total of 12Amps. Out of a USB power strip. Is 3A really just 2.4?

Greetings,

I need to know the 7-pin connector that is used to connect the battery pack to the mainboard on the Pinebook Pro... according to the schematic the boardside connector is JSQ1201WR-7P, however I could not find any more information to this on the internet. What I really am looking for is the cable side connector name, and if I could order it somewhere... I have seen a few posts on this forum asking something similar, but no answer this far...
There are also 2 types of connector, one from an older version and a newer one, as far as I can tell? Does anyone have any information?

Thanks!

I know it was working when I received it, can't remember if it had towboot or what installed, but my dumbass played around with Balena Etcher and flashed a image I forgot whether it was too the sdcard or pinephone in blue led mode,

Then it turned on paperweight mode and I don't even get a colored LED indicator when charging it, when I plug it into my windows machine I get a usb chime sound and that's the only signs of life I get out of it.

I did mainly just buy it to swap out the sim card trays, but was still hoping to bring it back to life.

I can hold power and volume up forever and nothing, hit the reset pin, still nothing, put in a freshly charged battery from my pinephone pro and again nothing.

xz package is severely affected with injected code in some linux distributions.

xz library in this case can infect sshd, ssh server. we probably know details later, but ssh server is compromised somehow. and it is not known how this vulnerability is used in the wild.

upgrade or downgrade depending on a distribution asap.

I updated a couple of days ago. Now the pinetab2 won't boot any longer. What should I do? Use the adaptor and try to boot from SD card or reflash the internal memory? Thanx for any help.

How to create a right hand mouse click when only using the touchscreen?

App has a context menu that is launched by right mouse button click so location is position specific.

Long press would seem like the prefect option.

Attempting to set up sealed watch - able to set it up as a watch and was able to get it to pair with my android phone via gadgetbridge.  But attempts to install 1.14 INFINI time failed with "element can not be installed".  Held button and it goes through the White/GREEN pinecone (V 1.0.0) then goes to INFINI Time logo.  Then nothing.  However, when texts come in, the watch vibrates.

UPDATE: Let the phone drain, recharged - could connect via gadgetbridge for file transfer purposes - updated it using pinetime-mcuboot-app-dfu.1.14.0.zip. Watch came back to life.

Since a long time my PinePhone only turned on by trying twice (i.e. pressing the Power On button, taking out the battery, putting it back in, pressing the Power On button again).  At the first turning on, the LED was shortly on and shortly thereafter the phone rumbled.  This was annoying, but not annoying enough to try to fix it.

But then I didn't use it for the last two weeks (as I didn't need a phone during that time) and now even trying it twice doesn't work reliable (I did get it on twice still, so I'm pretty confident that it's still possible, but I don't know how and I sadly turned it off yesterday).  The failing starts still looks like back when trying twice worked (i.e. LED+rumble).

I'm pretty confident that it's not a battery issue because the same thing happens with only the battery in, with only a (good) charging cable and with battery and charging cable at the same time.

Googling didn't help this time (the first of the two times I got it to work was after trying to push the Reset Button as I read on the internet, but this seems to just have been an accident – or at least it doesn't work now), so any help is appreciated, thanks!
