New UBports edition - black screen (backlight) only
#10
Have you tried booting a known stable image like Jumpdrive from the SD to rule out the software as the cause? https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=..._Jumpdrive

What you're describing reminds me of what some people have reported with UBports after an unclean shutdown - it gets stuck when trying to mount one of the filesystems. They've fixed it by booting another OS on the SD to run fsck on the eMMC filesystems, or to reinstall UBports or another OS on the eMMC. If you want to find out what's actually going on behind the blank screen you can use the headphone socket as a serial console.
