I’ve been waiting for this announcement because I wanted to help test for the Pinebook Pro. In the few days since we interacted on the ARM Plasma forum not only has my eMMC become unreadable, but my Pinebook Pro won’t start. I’m not sure when or if I’ll be able to help if something doesn’t change on…

[image] EndeavourOS ARM is reworked and back in action I’m not sure when or if I’ll be able to help if something doesn’t change on my end. If you have a micro SD laying round, simply install this image on the uSD. [image] Release ddimg-pbp-20231204 · endeavouros-arm/images Latest d…

I’ve dd’d the newest image to uSD and eMMC but the computer won’t start. That’s weird because it’s done literally nothing for a few days. It is fully charged.

@jc1685 I moved our posts to a new Topic. This will give this Topic more exposure. After reading this Post on the pine64 forum, it looks like possible battery problems https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8971 Pudge

Does it show a red or orange blinking light?

Solid red light shows when plugged into the wall charger. After a while the red light turns off. Laptop will not even begin to boot up when I press the power button. I’ve short pressed and long pressed. I’ve tried with eMMC in and removed. I’ve tried with the eMMC switch on and off. The only thing I…

Have you tried a different OS in the SD card? I have a Debian one that has done the the trick when nothing else would, Manjaro sometimes is nicer to the pbp as well. I would remove the eMMC to test this, but my eMMC switch has never worked.

I’ve only tried EOS since I removed Manjaro from the eMMC. The thing that worries me is the Pinebook Pro doesn’t boot under any circumstance - see my comments above. Shouldn’t it at least attempt to power on and boot, regardless of what’s on the SD or eMMC?

It may boot depending on what’s on the SD or eMMC. Was it working the last time you used it, and then some days after this is what you get? Or was it working, then you did some kind of change and it stopped working?

The last time it booted was when I used the ARM Installer from the Live USB. I installed the LXDE version and didn’t like it. Reflashed the eMMC and attempted to install KDE Plasma and ran into errors. @Pudge informed me there were errors specifically with Plasma and it would probably be a few days …

:smiley: I have a good update: I was able to use Balena Etcher to write both Manjaro-Arm and Endeavour-Arm to two different SD cards and they both booted! Next I’ll be trying with the eMMC. I’m not sure what happened with the dd command I used but that was probably one source of the problem. When …
