Novice question: Pinebook Pro does boot (does it?) but black screen
#3
The Reset button won't be very helpful to you here.

How long did you let it charge before turning it on/how long did it sit before that? If the battery is left to discharge and die for an extended period of time, it can take a day or so to get it fully recharged.

How long did the screen stay black, before you shut back down? It's unlikely, but since the image you have installed is from the Spring, it could be running slower due to the support available at the time.

Have you tried booting something from SD or USB yet? It might also be worth trying to get to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1-6) after a few minutes.
