Experiencing the same issues as well, was able to boot out of the box and use the OS for about an hour, experienced some screen flickering after enabling the auto brightness feature and the screen went dark. Have not been able to get anything displayed on the screen since, but it does show that the backlight is coming on. I have attempted to boot from SD, boot from jumpdrive, flash a new UBPorts (current version and an older version), Postmarket OS, and PureOS...none will allow the screen to show anything other than the dark backlight. The front LEDs will light up, I am able to telnet to the device using the jumpdrive, the phone will vibrate on boot (Postmarket OS), and the battery has been fully charged. Any advice or ideas would be great...

There appears to be a clock speed issue. Solution for all other distros except UBPorts in the following https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9832

I had problems with booting from the SD from start "of out of the" box.
I succeeded once with Postmarket OS. Made no changes to EMMC. Only booting from SD.
After I tried to SD boot  with UBPorts an older version II can't boot at all.
No Jumpdrive , no factory image works from the SD.
Tried different SD cards. Power should be ok.
After the Pine Logo the screen is dark no read activity from the LED.

Woops....

Now what?

Sounds like partition tables got corrupted. Run gparted on your SD cards and then re-install ubports on one, or the jump drive image. Insert, boot into recovery and see if it succesfully can.  If so, then run gparted on your emmc because it also is likely corrupted. Mine were. I reflashed after gparted and all works now. Running  ubports on emmc and pureOS on sdcard

Erased the SD card completely (SanDisk Ultra 32GB), ran gparted on it and then used dd to flash yesterday's release of jump drive. Popped into the phone with battery fully charged, the display is still not showing anything and only the backlight is turning on. Have a 6MB video of the boot process but not sure I can attach it here, can message or PM if needed (edit: added to the Telegram chat)

Can you try with UBPorts build 54 from this June? Do not do the clock patch, just dd the image file to the SD card and try to boot to recovery
