Pine Phone no power up or just somtimes

[rk7]

Any update on this ? @kxpunisher @rk7 I have a similar problem that I describe here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9042 (except Linux does not sees the phone when plugged).

Sadly no. I'm still having the same issue. Even without the battery and connected to usb, the phone won't boot.
Here are the messages I get when I connect the phone:

Feb  8 01:48:57 dan kernel: [ 8638.107243] usb 3-13: new full-speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd

Feb  8 01:48:57 dan mtp-probe: bus: 3, device: 8 was not an MTP device

And by the way, the first time I turned on the phone it did boot up, here are the corresponding messages:

I really don't know what happened since then, I just hope it's not a hardware failure. And I still agree with kxpunisher that this is not a battery issue.
