Hey belfastraven,
I apologize for being away for a few days, things got expectantly busy for me. Thank you for the suggestions! I'm afraid I don't have a serial cable nor ever used one (not entirely opposed to learning, however). I pulled the eMMC, flipped the switch again, and pressed the reset button. I've got a microSD card with Fedora on it & tried to boot. The power light came on and flashed green, very rapidly, for 15 or 20 seconds before turning solid green. It remained solid for maybe another minute before going out. Nothing showed on screen after that. I know Fedora can take a while to boot, 4 minutes or so, so I left it for about 10 minutes and there was no visible activity. I pulled out the microSD card, went through the same steps again, but this time the power light didn't come on again.
I'm afraid I don't know what SPI flash is, so I don't recall explicitly interacting with it. I've installed Manjaro 19.10 xfce on the eMMC, but that's it. So unless that's touched SPI flash I'm afraid I don't know how else it would've been interacted with. Or if Fedora on the microSD card touched SPI flash, but I never installed that to the eMMC (not sure if that's relevant at all).
Thank you again! If there's any other ideas you can throw my way I'd appreciate it.
