The box is badly dented and the board appears to be slightly curved!Sorry to know on the shipping condition. If the board is damage, we will compensate with another new board. There are several suggestions on this thread and we already take notes to improve. However, we have compared our shipping material with others such like Raspberry Pi and CHIP, and believed we have provide more protection than them.
Hard to get a good picture of the board and it does appear to boot ok but might want to consider better packaging for the next batch.
I've got the board booting into linux ok (using the image from https://github.com/apritzel/pine64) so it isn't dead but there is a visible rise of several mm from one end of the board to the other which doesn't look right.
The support form at http://www.pine64.com/support isn't working:
'Failed to send your ticket. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.'
I regret that the board is in this state ... Prompt please, on the front and the back sidethere are any traces of mechanical action?
