Hi, I have a problem I hope that I hope someone out there can help me with. I love my Pinebook Pro and it's a nightmare without it!
I was performing updates and screen went black. No power light. It was on 94% battery when I started. Initially I thought that it went to sleep but it wasn't waking up. I eventually tried to hard power off by holding the power button down for several seconds and trying to power it up again. There was no lights or anything.
Charged for several hours with the Pine Power, could see the amps draw run down to 0 and charging light went off.
Tried powering on, nothing.
Followed the wiki and read some other forum posts and tried the following.
Resat the eMMC, tried again, nothing. No power light, no response.
Switched the eMMC switch (24 on diagram) off and on again, still nothing.
Unhooked the battery, connected pass through, nothing.
Whilst battery was unhooked, tried it without an eMMC and put a fresh SD Card install of Manjaro. Still nothing.
The Pine Power was showing an amp draw when powering on without the battery though, so it does appear to be doing something. It went from 0a to 0.2a when initially powering, up to 0.5 as it is left on. No lights on board and not even a flicker of the monitor though.
Trued a USB-C monitor too but it's not turning on either.
What could be the problem and more importantly, how do I fix it?!
