My personal discovery of no video upon first booting my Pine A64

[Ghost]

So the issue is the supported resolutions of monitors. On Epson Home Cinema 8350, when the Pine64 booted up with Debian, it was at 720p.
There are only a few resolutions supported at the moment. My monitor's resolution limitations seemed to be the issue.
On my Theater Projector, it works perfectly, which is fortunate, as that's what I want it for... to replace the huge tower I've been using!

Bottom line, and simply... If your Pine64 doesn't seem to do anything other than the Red LED, try it on another monitor!!!

Thanks for this. For the most part problems booting up seem to stem either from power supply or monitor issues.
