I received my Pine64+2GB board yesterday and have spent the last 24 hours loading SD cards with various OS's and trying to boot from them. I have followed all the instructions on the Wiki and have had little success. Even though I connect my HDMI monitor directly to the Pine board I have never seen even a flicker on the screen anytime during a power up boot. Some OS distributions like Android and arch-pine64-bspkernel-20160403.img showed some signs of life after booting (the audio speakers buzzed specifically whenever the mouse was moved) but still no video. The arch-pine64 image definitely booted to running code since networking worked and I was able to ssh into the board from another PC but still no video on the pine monitor. Now I know that my monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and network cables work since when I plug them all into my RaspberryPi it boots up just fine.
Can anyone suggest something else that I can try? My guess is that I have non-functioning Video hardware on my board. What do you think? How do I get a replacement board?
