Pinebook pro Hardware failure: how should I diagnose it?
#5
Ok; thanks for the infos, the battery is probably depleted now, I will try charging it via USB-C. It seems to me though that no charging is happening at all; but I will test that properly again. Mainly because I've tried to power it on without the battery (with the bypass cable connected), and still nothing. (almost 100% sure that I never plugged the battery AND the bypass cable....)

Then I'll try to boot it every way I know. If I still get nothing I'll try the serial console.
Thanks for the pointers, I'll keep you updates on my progress.
'Thanks for the channel recommendation, i'll check it.
Finally I have some basic Uboot knowlege, and I don't think that's the problem right now; but I'll know for sure when I see the serial output; if any,

Ok guys, thank you all for your input. I feel reeeeaaaallly stupid right now!!! (but also very happy)

I haven't used my PBP for a few months, believing it was broken. I would have bought a new one it was in stock. And all this time, the only problem was the empty battery. ? ^^

The USB-C charging did the trick. I remember having tried it at the time; but I guess the charger I used might have been to weak! Or the cable broken. Or maybe I was just not patient enough.


THANKS SO MUCH!
