PBP won't boot (no amber or green LED)
04-13-2021, 06:15 AM
At first, success. Then failure.
I pulled the eMMC.
I flashed the latest Manjaro arm image to a microSD card.
PBP booted properly. Success!
I rebooted from the microSD 3 or 4 times successfully and no eMMC chip installed.
I installed all pending updates.
Rebooted at least once after that successfully.
Shut down the PBP.
Made no further changes. microSD card still inserted. eMMC still pulled out.
This morning...nothing. No response from PBP when power button is pressed.
Pressed power button 60+ seconds (very firmly) multiple times. No response.
I reflashed the microSD card.
After inserting the microSD card, with the emmc still removed, no response.
I just unplugged the battery and will let it sit for an extended period of time.
But I am wondering why I was able to reboot from the microSD card multiple times, then nothing.
