What to do if your PinePhone Pro does not boot

Yup, it's there.

I didn't necessarily mean, 'have the whole phone installed inside the keyboard case.'

Rather, I meant, "swap the phone's battery in-place-of the keyboard's battery and plug the USB-C into the keyboard unit, thus bypassing any software issues the phone is imposing on its own charging process."

Never-mind that though. I am in the process of returning the keyboard unit now anyway.

I flashed an SD card with Ubuntu Touch, and followed the instructions on booting from the SD card slot (including the missing steps).

Nothing. This extremely vague "push this, then this, but not-this for too long"-crap feels like a practical joke. I've tried many variations of this "let go at just the right moment (not that there's any indication as to what that moment is)"-game. Same result, every time: nothing.

I'll try another OS I guess...

No indication that the battery is even charged, for that matter. Despite being charged via my computer's USB port for over 24 hours... Windows did see the device plugged in, so I assume it was charging (but who would even know?).
