Suggestions?
On top of what Luke suggested, it may be worth trying an older version of etcher... I was getting some validations errors from beta15 which I hadn't from the previous beta14 version, and there was nothing wrong with the SD card (after a through bad sector scan).
Rufus is another excellent disk formatting and image writer - plus it is a much smaller download (although unlike Etcher it is a Windows-only program).
If the disk isn't being written properly, you may not get any output from the Pine64 at all, as since it is a ARM based design, it does not have a BIOS/UEFI like a PC/MAC does, and loads everything it needs from the (micro)SD card.
