The 6 most common reasons why Pine64 won't boot

[Ghost]

Tried different images, none boot.  Windows 10 Pro using Phoenix Card 3.1.0.  I chose startup option on the Phoenix Card software.  Allwinner processor starts to get hot and I have to remove power.   Is my board defective?  I just received it a couple days ago.  A64-DB -2G -Rev B dated 2106-03-21.

I am using HDMI so I burned the HDMI Android 5.1.1 release.  Also tried Remix OS same issue won't boot.

1) Burn a linux image 
2) disconnect everything except for ethernet // power the Pine on
3) watch for LED activity on ethernet ports / see if the red power LED stays solid 
4) see if you can ssh into the Pine 

You can always swing by the chat - someone will help you troubleshoot.

Got it to work with a linux image burned on Windows 10 Pro using Win32DiskManager.  That needs to go on Wiki BTW.  Some people may not want to burn a Linux image in Linux!!

Now we need to know why RemixOS and Android 5.1.1 burned in Phoenix will not work.  Can I use Win32DIskManager to burn those images as well?

Thanks

On the Pine64 Software Release part of the wiki, DD images are for Win32DiskImager and there are also images labelled as being for PhoenixCard.
