dead Pinebook - help please

[RicTor]

My PBP broke due to stiff hinges. I have replaced the Palm case, released the stiff hinge and transplanted all contents.

But the PBP now will not switch on. I have checked all connections, ribbons etc. All look OK.

Can anyone help me with tests to find the problem? Email would be very useful.

You could have given more info.....
Do you get a red charge light?
Do you get a boot led?
Did you try something (that works) in the uSD socket?
Have you tried a "long press"? (20+s)
Did you gently press eMMC (into socket)?
I am assuming that you had a working OS on eMMC

Thanks for that - but it's fixed. It seems if the battery is too low charging will not  even switch on? I suspect around 3.5v? I charged the battery from a lab power supply at 4.0 v which has done the trick.

But now a problem -  cannot connect to the network. I don't use Manjaro normally, I use RiscOS - both bootable from separate sd cards.

I had stiff hinge (now fixed) - broken case, so was sent ANSI keyboard to replace ISP one...

If possible can we switch to email? richard@torrens.org
