What to do if your PinePhone Pro does not boot
#2
Quote:Check if the phone in Maskrom mode appears in the output of the Linux command lsusb on the computer

And if your computer is running Windows10...what then?

While following steps 4-5:

Quote:Hold the "RE" button underneath the back cover of your Explorer Edition (or shorting the bypass contact points on the Developer Edition)

Connect the phone to an USB port of a computer, while still holding the button for some time

...Windows10 did make the same sound it always makes, when a USB device is newly connected. Though, as expected, nothing shows up in File Management. Is that sound-byte any indication that power is now being transferred to the battery? The LED on the front of the phone did not come on. Nor does the phone offer any indication that the battery is charging.

Though, while the battery is sitting at just above room temperature, the phone's Quectel EG25-G unit is generating mild heat.

For reference: Desk: 25.8C, PPP Battery: 28.4C, Quectel EG25-G unit: 30.2C.

That seems...promising(?).

I do have the keyboard addon. Is there any way to insert the phone's battery in that unit, and charge it that way? Or can I simply charge the keyboard unit separately, and then utilize that as a power-supply?
