Help - PineBook Pro won't boot!

I go through the same pain. A serial console cable should have been included with the Pinebook Pro by default :-).

This surprising behavior should have been better communicated in advance so I could and would have ordered a serial console cable together with my Pinebook Pro. My motivation for ordering a serial console cable as a separate order goes close to zero as I don't want to pay more for shipping than the actual product.
