Force on PinePhone
#1
Hello,

I left my phone without the battery in for a few days, and I cannot get it to turn on now. I have attempted to leave it plugged in to charge for over 3 hours, but i see no indictation it is charging.

I have also tried holding the power button for over 30 seconds after charging, but have had no success.

Is there any other way to turn the Pinephone on?

Thank you!

What kind of charger are you using? Mine wouldn't charge with a laptop charger only with a lower powered cellphone charger. It'll probably turn on as soon as you connect the right kind of charger.

Good to know! I thought I have used this charger before...but it is a high powered one.

I'll try a lower powered one tonight

This worked! I used a USB-A to USB-C, and it turned right on. Thank you!
