Clip V2: Not powering on after Rockbox Install
Lacrocious:
Thanks Funman - I had forgotten about that. I have it apart and see the pin's you circled. I can short them all I want, but when I plug into USB (using SystemRecovery Linux Live CD) - the clip doesn't show up - but then again, it doesn't power up in any way - so I wouldn't expect it to show up in fdisk. Should I see it power up in some way - display light up, etc.??? anyway - no luck with either pin at this point.

funman:
You will see a new mass storage device in dmesg output, you won't see anything else because your OS can't see any partitions and the LCD doesn't light up.
Note that if you have a solder iron available you can remove the battery, the Clipv2 will be powered by USB. When it's repaired you can resolder the battery (red wire on +, blue wire on N, black wire on - )
Lacrocious:
So far - no go. I have tried your suggested pins, and a number of others. It's a bit of a pain with only two hands to plug-in the usb while bridging the pins and holding the board - but I have been working at it. Will try again as I have more free time and will let you know the results.

funman:
Yeah it's a bit hard, try to short the pins while holding the board on the desk with the same hand that holds the screwdriver (or whatever metallic thing you use),
so you have the other hand free for plugging the cable.
I use this script to monitor dmesg output 'realtime':
--- Code: ---sudo su -c "while : ;do dmesg -c;read -t 1 && clear;done"
--- End code ---

Yes - I found it easier to actually leave the clip plugged into the usb cable and then short and insert the other end of the usb cable into the computer. Much easier than trying to keep the bridge in place and plug the usb into the clip. I will try your message view - that will also be easier then trying to issue the fdisk command after plugging in the usb.
