I think that I haven't changed anything again after the first reboot. But maybe I am wring.  I will remove the eMMC when I'll find some time. Maybe it can be brought back to life that way. If not, I'll just have to start from scratch.

Your PBP is fine, the problem is that your /boot partition is broken, that is why it didn't boot nor print anything on the screen. I had this issue once long time ago while playing around with the boot files. You can fix it by simply replacing the files on your /boot partition with ones from a working image from the same distro you were using.

You can do that by either removing the eMMC stick from the PBP and use another computer to replace the files, or if you don't have an eMMC usb adapter, then you can try to install an image from the same distro into an USB-A and plug it on your PBP (I think it was the bluish port on the left) to then copy the files into the eMMC. Most of the time the PBP will boot from a live USB even if your eMMC uboot is broken :p
