pbp no longer boots

[tulsums]

sounds like the battery was drained all the way. Leave it charging for the better part of a day. (It's slow to fully recharge. from dead-dead, it can take about 8 hours to get to 30-50%, but that should be enough to boot it again.)

since sleep only works (okay-ish at that) with bsp uboot, it's probably wise to make it habit to shutdown your pbp after use, or make sure it's plugged in to charge.)

mmm okay thanks. I will keep it on the charger for a while. I did try to disconnect the battery and connect the by pass cables to start from just the power cable. it didn't boot. Would that rule out your theory?

another detail. it's still charging. if I short press (2 sec)  the power button the power led will turn amber for maybe 10 second then green for 1 or 2 then off. no boot.
