Hi there,
thanks for the hint. I had a look at the Debian installer, but you have to build the image first - on the PBP (which doesn't boot). I didn't see anything mentioned about cross-compiling.
The Manjaro image should work. I double-checked the SD card, there's two partitions, one MANJARO_BOOT and the other with the root filesystem. But it has no effect.
I didn't mention this explicitly, but just to make sure we're on the same page: when I press the power button, nothing happens at all. No orange (or even green) light turns on - nothing. I'm starting to think that it maybe is indeed a hardware failure.
