Did I brick my Pinebook?

Have tried to restart it in safe mode (hitting Escape button, tab button, etc when booting up). All I get is a power light and nothing on the screen. I tried loading an .img of 16.04 to an SD card in hopes it would boot from that but that didn't work either.
No response from the Pinebook support team.
Wondering if anyone can help?

Thanks,

There is no way to brick the Pinebook, so don't worry. Moreover, the Pinebook is meant for learning and experimenting - so this is to be expected. You may have corrupted the image; was there something of real value on this installation ? if there was do let me know.

For the time being I will assume there wasn't; download the installer utility to your main computer (please read this thread first) and get the Ubuntu Mate (eMMC) image installed onto your eMMC.  

You may wish to update to the latest release version once the image is flashed: 

Navigate to /usr/local/sbin 

Code:
cd /usr/local/sbin  


and run the following

Code:
sudo ./pine64_update_kernel.sh 0.6.2
sudo ./pine64_update_uboot.sh 0.6.2
sudo ./pine64_update_package.sh 0.6.2
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
