Dead in the water - xircledev - 11-09-2019
Well... It's been three frustrating days trying to get this thing to work. It's pretty much dead in the water. Aside from being stuck in a loop when trying to boot it up, it won't turn on now.
I followed all the troubleshooting instructions at the bottom of the Wiki. Toggling the eMMC switch, checking the ribbons, making sure the eMMC was in the socket... Nothing. It will not turn on.

When you say you toggle the eMMC disable switch, did you write out a bootable SD card image and try that?

Yes. I was in the process of trying to boot to the bootable SD when I ran into the power issue. I followed the instructions to get the machine to power up but that failed as well. Nothing else that I've been able to find provides a solution to get it working again.

So I refused to give up on this and found a way to get my machine back up and running. I posted my steps here https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8714
