Has anyone attempted to exchange their Pine64 for another and have success? I know they are a new startup and under staffed and I didn't want to spend more time and money to ship it back if a hopeless cause.
I finally got around to opening my Pine64 and I've spent the last several days trying every trick listed online including this forum and have no success. I've created boot cards on my Windows and MAC and used four different imaging apps (DD, Phoenix Card, ApplePi-Baker, and the WinImage one I forget the name) and tried various size Android and Remix images and used three different SD cards including one I bought yesterday at Bestbuy. Zero luck - screen always remains black (using same cable to plug into Pi sitting next to Pine64 displays fine). Power supply from Pine64. The red light comes on when plugged in but nothing happens on the screen. Nothing extra plugged in when booted and left alone for a couple hours each time started.
And of course I got the Pine64+ full package (lcd, power supply, network, extra memory).
Frustrated and hoping for a new one but not looking to waste another second of my life with this if others have had no luck with exchanges.
