After an update my pocket reform stopped booting correctly. The screen turns on for a moment while booting and then goes off again and nothing else happens. It does the same when I try to boot from the microsd so I can’t just reinstall it.
Have you / can you try it with an external monitor? Couple of us, after controller / keyboard firmware updates have left the internal screen blank.
It’s so odd. I removed the SSD and tried booting from the internal memory and from the sdcard and still got the same results. I installed the SSD back and now it booted just fine. I’m updating the system. Let’s see if it survives the reboot.
And same behavior after restarting.
Inconsistent behavior like this could be a sign that it’s not a software issue. You might try reseating the display cable to rule that out. When you opened it up to reinstall the SSD then it’s possible you bumped the cable and temporarily got it working. (This seems unlikely, but it would be nice if the fix turns out to be simple… might as well check it.)
