PinePhone doesn't start anymore
#1
Sad 
Hello,


i can't start my PinePhone. I can't charge battery via USB-C too. Sad
I have make current measurement on USB-C and they says: 5V/0.09A 

Have anyone the same problem? What i can do?

Thank you.

That happens if you have drained the battery below its minimum, and the safety circiut turns it off.
It will only charge with around 100mA at first - latter more. Just let it charge for a day.

That method has worked for me with the charger from a Nexus 5X, but it hasn't worked for everybody. There may be some charger interaction we're not fully aware of. If it doesn't work you can get an external universal charger for the battery - there are loads of them on amazon, ebay, ali etc.

Question: does any light turn on when the Pinephone is charging?

No, the light doesn't come on when it's charging. Some indication would be really useful, but there isn't any.
