Jan 03 23:11:38 <RagingMind> so... if one has a touchpad that's plugged into a known working charger for several hours but doesn't turn on and doesn't respond when home+power are held together, what's the next step? :(
Jan 03 23:12:51 <jcsullins> RagingMind: I assume you held Power+Home for at least 20-30 secs ...
Jan 03 23:14:15 <jcsullins> ?
Jan 03 23:17:00 <RagingMind> several times, erring on the side of holding for a couple minutes
Jan 03 23:18:18 <jcsullins> RagingMind: I'd suggest connecting to a linux PC and doing a "Power+Home" and see what shows with "lsusb"
Jan 03 23:18:30 <jcsullins> then do the same with "Power+Home+VolumeUp"
Jan 03 23:23:29 <jcsullins> could also try with "Power+VolumeUp" (just to check the screen didn't die)
Jan 03 23:24:49 <RagingMind> I'm watching /var/log/messages and nothing at all shows up when plugged in or when any button combos are pressed :(
Jan 03 23:25:24 <jcsullins> RagingMind: what about Power+Home+VolumeDown ?
Jan 03 23:26:20 <fxspec06> hola
Jan 03 23:27:37 <PatrickC> hey
Jan 03 23:49:54 <jcsullins> RagingMind: anything?
Jan 03 23:54:19 <RagingMind> jcsullins, nope
Jan 03 23:54:37 <jcsullins> RagingMind: you checked "lsusb" also?
Jan 03 23:54:43 <RagingMind> Yup
Jan 03 23:54:51 <jcsullins> RagingMind: sounds like you have bad USB cable or connector
Jan 03 23:55:01 <jcsullins> or something *really* wrong with the touchpad
Jan 03 23:55:42 <RagingMind> the cable is fine, I use it with my (a different tp) and my phone all the time
Jan 03 23:55:42 <jcsullins> this isn't under VM is it?
Jan 03 23:56:16 <jcsullins> the linux you are connecting to with the touchpad
Jan 03 23:56:16 <RagingMind> this is directly to my debian installation.  it's not registering any device on the usb port
Jan 03 23:56:36 <jcsullins> I guess could be something wrong with the buttons too
Jan 03 23:56:49 <RagingMind> I don't let windows run on bare hardware ;)  (it's the OS that gets stuck in a VM for the rare occasion I need it)
Jan 03 23:57:05 <jcsullins> ok, good :)
Jan 03 23:57:58 <jcsullins> you should be able to get the QDL to show with Power+Home+VolumeDown with a completely trashed emmc and no battery in it at all
Jan 03 23:59:52 <jcsullins> USB plug on touchpad loose at all?
Jan 04 01:10:32 <RagingMind> shoot... the volume down button on this touchpad has always been super flaky
Jan 04 01:30:52 <dwc-> what's the QDL?
Jan 04 01:37:16 <jcsullins> Qualcomm DowLoad mode
Jan 04 01:37:25 <jcsullins> DownLoad even
Jan 04 01:59:32 <RagingMind> okay, I just tried that on my good touchpad and got a serial device.  time to try again with the patient
Jan 04 02:03:48 <RagingMind> nope... nothing shows :(
Jan 04 02:06:04 <jcsullins> :(
Jan 04 02:07:01 <jcsullins> you say you've had button issues with it ....
Jan 04 02:08:50 <RagingMind> I put the little robot on the touchpad in question a few days ago
Jan 04 02:08:55 * RagingMind hides
