The 6 most common reasons why Pine64 won't boot

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the way I'm burning my SD card, but I can't figure out what that something is. I've tried two different pine boards, and I did get it to boot once, but only to HDMI. My goal is the LCD (and  I have an extra of those as well). my power supply is the Pine supplied ac adapter. 

Ok. so I've tried dd and apple pi baker to both the SD card slot and USB slots on my mac, and also tried the Windows program. No joy. I've pulled off all the accessories from the pine (keyboard dongle, wi-fi) no joy. Since I'm not 100% certain my LCD panel is good, I'd like to be able to boot using the HDMI output first, and once I know its working, then mess with the LCD. My SD cards are all valid - name brands from reliable sellers. Anyone in Orlando area, or willing to mail me a working SD card?

mitelheem, seems like you've tried a few things already. Which img are you burning? - I presume Android with LCD support ? If you wan't to use Linux with the LCD you should first read this thread. Also, if you want to use Android 6 or 7 with the LCD make sure to read ayufan's instructions (see first thread of respective android version threads; e.g. android 6). 
Are you getting activity on the ethernet port (did you read the short troubleshooting section in the wiki?) 
Try joining in the IRC - these sort of things are easier to troubleshoot 'live'
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
