PBP won't boot (no amber or green LED)
#16
>@wdt Did wiggling the buttons or holding them for varied lengths of time help you? Did you ever recover from a unlit power LED? How did you short the SPI chip? I tried a bent paperclip because I don't have wire available.

No leds (other than red pwr) extra long press, from wrong boot software (a64) or netBSD current, I think maybe UEFI
My pbp is a virgin, the back has NEVER been off, so.... no serial, no disable emmc,, so no maskrom

Logic, I use logic. If recovery button is held, you must ALSO reboot to enter recovery
If nothing else, could unplug, replug battery (& of course, push pwr button 1s)
Use small pointed sissors, will embed into solder, not slip,
ELSE point ends of paperclip with file, sandpaper
Just checking,, you are holding recover button for a few (5?) seconds after reboot?
It does take a little while to enumerate (non-existant) storage
