pinebook black screen when booting with "different power mode than last used"

[mr.angeli]

Hi everybody,

same issue here.

I re-flashed the OS in eMMC (Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-20.02.1-emmc-installer-20.02.1.img.xz flashed with Etcher on SD)
The system works good, but sometimes doesn't boot...

I noticed that when it boots:

• orange light for a few seconds
  
• short blinking green light
  
• green light
  

when it does't boot:

• orange light for a few seconds
  
• long blinking green light
  
• stuck at this point...
  

Also at start, desktop luminosity is very low: I need to adjust it by pressing Fn + F2

Have you managed to solve the issue in the meantime?

I have the same issue after leaving PBP to charge over 2 nights without usage. However, I have tried turning off and on again for tens of times over the past 3 days with no luck. Screen back light is on, power light is green flickering occasionally, Cap Lock light is responsive, Pause/Break light is responsive, but the screen is black. I tried to enter terminal using Ctrl Alt F1 and to issue poweroff command, but that didn’t work.

Is this it for my PBP?

Since your issue concerns the PBP and not the PB(1080), you should try posting your issue in one of the PBP subforums. It'll help your chances of finding a resolution faster.
