RE: Is it dead? - S4BRE - 04-01-2016 i currently have a different problem i see the Pine A64 logo and thats it ... lol RE: Is it dead? - atanguay - 04-01-2016 Thanks for your ideas...I appreciate it. It's a shame...hopefully things turn around. I've sort of run out of options. Right now I think mine may actually be dead. RE: Is it dead? - S4BRE - 04-01-2016 ok after watiing for about 15 minutes the screen changed to a pulsating RemixOS and now waiting more lol RE: Is it dead? - atanguay - 04-01-2016 "congratulations" (?) ;-) RE: Is it dead? - S4BRE - 04-01-2016 btw did you check your micro card ? http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A64_Software_Release Detecting USB Counterfeit Drives H2testw 1.4 – Gold Standard In Detecting USB Counterfeit Drives F3 - an alternative to h2testw This will help you to determine if the SD-Card is Counterfeit Drive or not.

RE: Have I got a dead one? - mcwebster - 04-02-2016 Thanks for the suggestions guys, I've now tried the RemixOS image as well, still dead, not even a boot image. I've burnt both the Android and the RemixOS using the Phoenixcard software in startup mode. Also should be said, I have tested the card, and it is genuine. Is it a question of getting in touch with Pine themselves now? I'm all for new tech and brave ventures, but if it doesn't work,then something has to be done!! Another possible DOA - speck - 04-02-2016 Getting beyond frustrated. Pine64 1GB RAM/GigEth (Holiday Pine) - board arrived from China in a padded mailer inside the padded mailer was a cardboard box, branded with Pine64, which was a bit crunched up. I've been through, like others, multiple micro SD cards, TypeA to Micro USB cables, and so many power supplies it is silly (iPad charger that delivers 2.4A @ 5VDC - I even load tested it!, an Anker 5-port USB charging station that can do 2.4A per port, a supply that works fine with my RaspI 2, it goes on and on, ending at a bench power supply calibrated and dialed into 5VDC and capable of delivering somewhere in the neighborhood of 15A @ 5VDC single-rail. O-scope shows no notable ripple.). MicroSD's - I've tried big (32/64GB), small (4/8gb), cheap, expensive (SanDisk, Lexar), every OS image released burned as prescribed in Startup formatting normal first, and none inserted at all. In every case, all I get is a red power LED (why they chose red, I will never know - these days one expects red to be associated with a fault, or activity). HDMI 1080p TV, HDMI dell monitor, both known good, short HDMI cables, long HDMI cables, premium HDMI cables... I never even get HDMI sync. What am I missing? Otherwise, how can I kick this piece back to PINE and get a replacement or refund? RE: Have I got a dead one? - mr pink - 04-02-2016 looks like quite a lot of us are having the same issue. I am on the verge of asking for a refund a perhaps buying a fire tv or a Pi3. I have never struggled so much with writing am image to a card and booting a device and as for this whole power thing.. its an absolute joke! RE: Have I got a dead one? - butteredmuffins - 04-02-2016 Hey all, Check out my thread I just posted, if you are using a display adapter it could be causing it not to display at all http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=542 |
