Pinetab2 screen issue. screen does not power on at all - bluemage - 09-18-2023 So my pinetab2 doesn't seem to have a working screen in some capacity. I've gone through the https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2#Installation_instructions I used disks to make a sd card that had the factory default danctnix on it and when I plugged it into uart and press power a little under 2 seconds I get using minicom DDR Version 1.13 2022018 In I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what this means. Initial googling of the above text doesn't seem to help. I'm not sure if I need to add a boot flag to any partitions. I may try something other than dancnix on the sd card and see if that gives the same or different results. I'm also using xubuntu and raspbian to run the minicom.

Please reseat the LCD flex cable and hopefully issue resolved. RE: Pinetab2 screen issue. screen does not power on at all - Purple_Illusion - 09-21-2023 Are you able to connect it to an external display, perhaps via the hdmi? I think I have the same issue, and it does seem to be a loose connector.

So i was able to open it up and reseat the cable. Only problem is The back panel ribbon got loose and i wasn't sure how to reconnect it properly so when I put the tablet into the keyboard dock it seems to kill the screen. If possible I wouldn't mind a photo from someone to show how to properly put the keyboard ribbon on. But for now I'm fairly happy that it boots now after doing the reseat.

RE: Pinetab2 screen issue. screen does not power on at all - bluemage - 09-25-2023 so I opened up the pinetab2 again and got the keyboard working!!! Still wouldn't be a bad idea for someone to put a picture up showing how its supposed to be attached. |
