Ran the suggested "sudo pacman -Syu" command from Terminal. It was on its way doing the updates, all looked fine, I set it down for a good while, came back later, screen would not show, phone was on, as plugging and unplugging power made the noises, but no display screen.
Forced a reboot, now stuck at the K of the KDE start up screen. Multiple reboots stuck at KDE "K" screen. Basically now broken.
How do I reset the phone to default?
Thanks
Sounds like the installation got corrupted. Make sure that updates don't get interrupted by the phone going into suspend. Recovering the phone is quite simple, on the regular PinePhone the microSD card has the highest boot priority, which means you can simply flash an operating system to the microSD and then insert it into the phone and boot from it.
