The screen backlight turns on and the power light turns green but nothing ever appears on the screen. If I let it sit long enough a startup sound plays, so I would guess that it's booting. I have the ANSI model if that makes a difference, and Manjaro is installed to the eMMC. Doing a hard shutdown and starting up again doesn't make a difference, the screen stays black. Trying to switch TTYs, Ctrl+Alt+F2 causes the backlight to flicker but still nothing shows on screen.
 I can report the same behavior. I downloaded the image. Etcher is used to flash the image which completes without error. The SD card appears to boot, the status light turns from red to green after some time has passed a startup sound is heard and the screen seems faintly lit. However nothing happens beyond that. Ctrl+Alt+F2 cause the back light to flicker.

I have left the machine sit for an hour while doing other things, but it never boots to a screen.

The issue you both are experiencing is related to mainline uboot not playing well with bsp images. if you replace your uboot with manjaro's bsp uboot (in the repos, use terminal to install for writing instructions) or disable the emmc, you should be able to boot the img.
So if we get Manjaro's uboot and flash it to the already written SD card it should boot?
Sorry, but I'm afraid some of us need further guidance on this. I'm getting a bit disappointed that some cool stuff we can't use on PBP and the ones, which are working, are slow as sh*t. I tried Manjaro with 4 DEs and only i3 was snappy, but it crashed to a white screen on the 2nd day. Android IMG was great to use, it was snappy but nothing works on it. So I think a ChromiumOS fork might be something I could use my PBP with, as the ayufan version suffers from the same issue FydeOS does. Otherwise it's money down to the gutter.

Sorry for being so negative but I am tweaking this laptop since it arrived and I just can't use it for the things I bought it for. I'm thinking about disconnecting the battery and put it on the shelve for some time until something android or chromiumOS starts reliably working. Confused
