Giving away a Pinebook Pro for free (with a broken hinge) - tuxifan - 08-20-2025
Hey!
The hinge on my Pinebook Pro has broken and I don't feel like fixing it. And since I'd hate to throw this thing away for just that reason, I'm willing to give it away for free.
I'm shipping from Germany near Hamburg, just send me a message here or on IRC (same username as here) if you're interested. You would however have to pay for shipment, after successfully receiving the Pinebook Pro.
Fixing that hinge apparenly involves gluing it, for more info post a message in the #pinebook channel on the Pine64 IRC, it appears to be pretty repairable using the correct type of glue.
Tell me what you're going to use the PBP for!
This is how I'm going to rank this:
1. Developers - reputable developers in the Pinebook Pro community who need some extra hardware to play with and don't necessarily need a working hinge.
2. Newbies - people interested in buying a Pinebook Pro and in fixing that hinge.
3. Enthusiasts - existing Pinebook Pro users interested in spare parts and willing to distribute remaining spare parts further.
If you're a developer, send me a link of some sort to a list of previous contributions.

Hi!, my PBP needs some pieces for repair, your PBP seems a good option!
I am interested, I live in Belgium.

So, I've decided to make a list of people interested in the device and I'm going to wait for a week until I decide who to give it to. Are your a developer?
Everyone, also tell me what you're going to use the PBP for!

I've giving the Pinebook Pro to dsimic on the IRC since he's a developer and going to use it to reverse engineer DRAM firmware with help of this second PBP :-)
