The batteries I ordered have not been received. Can I test the uConsole without installing batteries using a power supply connected to the USB-C port?
Thanks,
Jim
That ought to work. If I remember correctly, the power routes through the main board before it goes to the charge controller on the battery pack.

Thank you for your reply. I attempted power up without batteries from a USB-C power supply but the screen was blank. Hope I did not damage the uConsole. Will try again after I receive the batteries.
It should work without batteries, what image are you using?

I am using the image on the SD card shipped with the uConsole. I will try SSH access.

try it again, A green light will come on in the power button. if it does come on but won’t boot try to reflash the sd.
Just FYI, the first boot takes a couple minutes.

Thanks Rex for your hint about the power button. I held down the power button until the green light came on. The uConsole booted and I configured the user. However the trackball does not function. This might be an assembly problem. I am impressed with the high resolution display.

The best thing to do if any components arent working is to disassemble the uconsole and reassemble again, i had an issue with the keyboard (wasnt fitted in properly first time) and after doing that worked perfectly fine.
