PBP won't boot (no amber or green LED)
Quote:@wdt
My pbp is a virgin, the back has NEVER been off, so.... no serial, no disable emmc,, so no maskrom
Logic, I use logic.
Giving advice on techniques you've never tried and problems you've never had to solve doesn't strike me as very wise. If you've never flashed your SPI and used rkdeveloptool, then there is little you can add to this thread. If you want to chitchat that's fine, but I'm looking for something else.
Sorry if that sounds harsh. I don't mean to be impolite. I know that you were only trying to help.

On Friday of this past week (August 21, 2020), I turned my PBP on and let it run for a while. I also connected the charging cable in case some update needed a little more power from the battery. There were several updates that were completed without any problem (that I know of). When I turned the PBP off after an hour or two, maybe a bit longer, the power indicator showed a little over 95% charge. Today when I attempted to turn it on again, the power button seemed to work as it should. The power LED was first amber then turned to green. But the screen was still black. There was no log-in screen at all. I tried some of the tools that could be used to get into the log-in screen and then to the desktop. All without any change or success. In a few minutes, I will print, from another computer, the file referenced and attempt that recovery method. Thanks to the community for the responses to the newly found problems and for finding at least 'work around' solutions until the problem could be corrected at its source.

Good luck, @James Good! If you run into issue with those recovery methods, I recommend you make a new thread because your situation is different than mine, as shown by your green power LED.
