Our two most common types of failure are either power supply or SD card related.
Crappy SD cards (fake or substandard) or bad image burns account for about 60% of Pine board failures; the rest can usually be accounted for due to crappy or under-volt power supplies.
We recommend Samsung Evo Plus Class 10 32G cards. Use a power supply of 5v @ 2500ma 2.5A and if possible power the board via the euler bus pin(4 +5v) and pin(6 ground). ( the micro usb connector is substandard and will not provide stable voltage|current particularly during boot.
Get yourself a serial to usb ttl bridge adapter cable. This will allow you to monitor the serial console during bootup which will help you diagnose what is happening; usually the Pine board is in fact booting, but the hdmi is not working for some reason ; usually due to monitor specs, etc.
Also, notice whether the LED(s) are blinking on the eth jack; do you see it attach on your router ? You can ssh to it if so!
