It worked for months, then, after being untouched (while plugged in) for a couple of weeks, it wouldn't work right. Even with power plugged in the power-port, won't start.
Shortly before the battery totally drained, it would try to power on for a couple of seconds, then turn off.
Tried multiple cables & charging devices. I figure that even if the battery is having issues, with being plugged in it would still power up. Maybe trouble with the usb-c port or something else? Any ideas?
Using accompanied UART dongle and check whether their is console message.
Tried the uart, cannot get it to boot.
I have a similar problem with my Pinetab2. The I've tried several charging cables, and I'm plugging into the USB-C/PD port, but it no longer will turn on after months of working perfectly. I obtained a UART, but this is not helpful if the Pinetab2 does not turn on at all. It is as if the battery died. If anyone has a suggestion I would welcome it, as I saw in another post that Pine64 has no intention of selling replacement batteries for the PineTab2. I would hate to think that this is bricked already.
