Troubleshooting: Is my Milk-V Duo broken?

After about a month and a half of waiting, I received my Duo in the mail last week. I flashed an Alpine Linux image onto it. It booted, fired up both the red LED and the blinking blue LED, and via RNDIS I ssh’d into it normally. The only thing I did at all was use neofetch, which emitted half the output, stopped after emitting the kernel version, the blue LED stopped blinking, and the board hasn’t worked at all since.

When I plug it into my PC, it doesn’t pick up the RNDIS device. Flashing other images, including official images, also doesn’t do anything. I’ve also changed cables and tried other computers. Am I facing a well-known, easily fixable issue, or did my board die from a single neofetch?

Seems a coincidence to me.

A coincidence in what sense? That it happened to die in tandem with the neofetch?

What’s showing on the serial console? That may give a clue… if not blank.

Indeed, it’s blank. I’ve basically accepted that it’s dead and ordered a new one

Seems likely, but still strange.
