I've probably posted about this here and there, and I am still struggling with this. If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate them.
After a long power-off time (let's say overnight), I cannot simply boot up.
LED stays off, no UART output.
If I keep trying, it eventually kicks in and boots up.
After that initial hurdle, there's absolutely no problem with subsequent shutdown > boot up cycles, works like a charm.
Currently running an up-to-date Manjaro build. No other Manjaro user seems to have this issue. (or maybe nobody bothered responding over there)
Might be worth noting that for the life of me I just cannot get this thing to reboot properly. (If I try a reboot, I always have to turn it off by long pressing the power button, then boot up)
This is absolutely driving me insane. Instead of normally powering the laptop on, I have to go through several voodoo steps and prayers before I can do anything with the laptop... Should I just go ahead and engage Pine support, perhaps going for a replacement?
edit: Just to update, the problem was that the eMMC chip was somehow faulty. I bought a replacement, put it in, and haven't had a single issue since.
