Yesterday, I did my normal Manjaro update, and was told there was a new version of u-boot and to run the two dd commands (Not the first time i've done this). I ran the two commands, but upon reboot, I saw a new u-boot screen (I've never seen this one before), then the screen would show a bunch of junk, then go blank.
It appeared that something was failing during the boot process. I was not able to switch to a terminal (ctrl-alt-f2), nor ssh/ping the machine.
Unfortunately, my keyboard did not seem to be active during the boot process, so I couldn't interrupt or inspect u-boot before it started booting manjaro.
I assumed my best option was to revert uboot, and followed the 'Flashing u-boot to SPI Flash' from the NOOB page.
It wasn't booting from the SDcard by default, so I flipped the switch to disable my emmc.
When I turned on the power, with the SDcard with the u-boot-flash-spi-pinebookpro.img.xz image written to it, the power light went amber, and the display stayed off. I let it sit there for about 5 minutes, but nothing happened. No blinking lights as expected.
I turned it off, removed the SDcard, and re-enabled the emmc switch.
Upon a reboot, the power light starts off amber, and then goes green. However, the display never turns on. I hooked up an external monitor through usb-c-> hdmi, and it never gets a signal either.
I seem to be in an un-bootable state, and get no feedback since the display never turns on.
With emmc enabled, the power light is amber, then goes to green and stays green. Display is off, external display doesn't work. No indication that it has booted. No network.
With emmc disabled and a bootable SDcard (Manjaro), the power light stays amber and the display stays off. No indication that anything booted.
What are my options for fixing this?
TIA
