Has anyone reported an issue where the device does not charge or turn on, even with the battery removed? I'm hoping maybe the phone shipped without an OS on the eMMC (doubtful, but at least that would be an easy fix). The only indication that the hardware even works is a flash of the camera LED when trying to power it on with the battery inserted. Otherwise, no charging indicator when plugged in and it does nothing with the battery removed and the power cable connected.
If anyone with a phone from the batch that shipped on 12/14 have the same problem, I can confirm the issue with my phone as described above was caused by no OS being present on the eMMC. When I inserted a microsd card with a bootable image the phone booted and charged correctly.
Just thought I'd note for QC purposes that mine is from the same batch (got it 2 days ago), and mine was fine, Manjaro was indeed loaded on the eMMC. Glad that that was the only problem with yours.
