This thing has been a pineintheass for many years now, I been dragging this brick around since when it screamed at me (literal bird chirping noise) while charging it with usb c in my car and got mad at me wouldnt turn on. So I bought a barrel charger usb connect it to my phone charger and that seemed to make it happy because now the red LED turns on for barrel and USB C again, and power button turns on the poweron LED. But the screen wouldnt turn on.
Years later again I got some time to work on it again, charging led good, power ON LED good, no display, cracked open the lid (10 SCREWS
) and noticed the LCD connector was disconnected (why) so I reconnected that and flicked the emmc switch towards the hinge... NOW IT WONT TURN ON THE POWER LED WHEN I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON
After reading some trouble shooting it said to pull out the power connector and reattach the display socket, I did so and that thing was like pulling a pinecone out of ur ass it was so tight the corner of the white thing snapped off ;_;.. After connecting all of that it still wont power on where it just was before I reattached the display connector, and flicked the emmc switch.. Idk if the power connector is totalled now, photos attached. I tried pressing the power button for like 15 seconds doesnt work with or without charging (charging LED is still working). Armbian was nice while it worked..
