UPDATE - NOW POWERED UP VIA MAINS! Re: PBP No Power

[dsk70]

*****UPDATED 2/15/20*****

I was able to troubleshoot and ascertain that my PBP has a defective battery pack. 

I disabled the battery pack by unplugging its bus connector (and eventually removed it once finished testing).

I was able to easily boot to mains with the AC adapter, after connecting it to the power bus that is under the black tape
(note the attachment of a photo I took to show the troubleshooting).

What is the best replacement spec for this battery pack, either from Pine or alternative source based on this one evidently being defective? 

Thanks!

Hi,

I received my PBP here in the U.S. a few weeks ago. Followed the initial procedures for Default OS update log and no problems.

I haven't used the device for a couple of weeks past setting it up.

I have had the device on charge today with the pin AC adapter. The red light stays on for about 20 seconds then goes black every time I try a new power socket.

Even while pin AC is inserted no power up. 

I have tried the USB C and similar situation.

Is the device somehow hybernating/sleeping even though no power lights on the bezel or pin AC illuminate?

or is the device permanently "bricked" somehow?

Thanks for any guidance!
