Sure? I had that issue after using the SD as booting device. Creating a new partition table with gparted solved it. After that no issue under Mobian to boot from eMMC with SD inserted.
Oh snap! That fixed it, thanks. This should've been a "never used as a boot device" microSD card, must've used it for something in the past and just formatted it after. I need to be better about starting with a new partition table/label
I was too willing to write it off as a quirk of the current state of the PineTab u-boot haha.

Then putting it back on it was pogo pins first, working my way towards the opposite side.
In general I think it's a good idea to avoid flexing the display at all costs. I think somebody should really do a "help video", especially when it comes to offering expansion boards.
In all honesty they should really just put in some M2 (or even M1s) to hold the back on that way it's pretty idiot proof. The whole "peeling" process seems like it will bite them later when people go to mod their devices.
Interesting, my disassembly I found worked better with the port-side (which funnily enough as I write that I realize it's also to the left haha) but after that same process.
Have they done help videos like that before? I assume it's up to the community to provide those kinds of things.
I agree, but I'm sure there's a mechanical reason for not doing so. It's a little nerve-wracking but as long as one is careful it seems to go fine. I'm still pretty sure my cracked screen was due to a screen protector causing some extra rigidity.
