Pinephone not charging and not powering up
#3
Hi Gab, I wonder if by tension you mean voltage?
In any event, you might try putting the leads of your volt meter on the pogo pins near the kill switches.

I would try it, measuring between 5volts and gnd, with the charged battery installed, then with the battery removed, and the USB cord powering the device. I doubt this would viod your warranty, as proving that you even did it would be impossible.

I have not tore down the pine phone yet, but i saw some pictures of the internals. the main circuit board is in the same area of the kill switches,
and a flex cable extends below the battery to the other end of the phone where the usb c connector is. Im not sure if the flex cable is directly soldered on to the usb connector, and or the circuit board on the opposite end, or if the flex cable is linked with connectors.

My recommendation is that if you have a warranty, use it.
