Since then the only sign of life is the occasional clicking of the camera's when holding the power button (from 2-3 up to 10s), other than that nothing happens. No error, nothing.
Besides reflashing Mobian, are there any ways of figuring out why Mobian won't boot?
Make sure you are holding the power button down for a full 10s and then releasing it. I do sometimes have to do that more than once for it t boot.. This could be some user error on my part, but I think sometimes it's because it's actually on, so you have to hold the button long enough to turn it off, then again long enough to turn it on.
Do you have the UART cable?
Once when I couldn't get it to boot, I learned via the serial cable that it stopped booting because it needed an fsck. You could try booting it from a JumpDrive image and running fsck.
