[SOLVED] PBP will no longer power on

The battery was showing 20% when flashing completed however once the system powered down it will no longer power up. The power button does not appear to have any effect at all.

I've tried searching the forums here for similar issues and so far have tried:
  • Booting with / without A/C adapter plugged in
  • Booting with / without SD card inserted
  • Verified that A/C adapter is charging (light comes on, charges then turns off)
  • Verified the A/C adapters are working by charging a 2nd PBP that is still working
  • Removed the battery, connected the power bypass cable and attempted to power on with A/C adapter
  • Reseated the eMMC
  • Booting with / without eMMC hardware switch toggled
Nothing appears to have had any effect and I'm not sure what else I can do; any advice would be much appreciated
It almost sounds like you activated some thermal overload protection on the board...maybe try removing all bootable media (EMMC, MicroSD) and attempting to boot up? Even if there is no bootable media, the power light should at least turn red. If it doesn't, your board was probably damaged somehow. If you cannot get it to work, maybe contact sales@pine64.org to see if you can get a new board sent to you. This sounds like a really bizarre problem...Good luck!
