Hello,
my problem is not booting up orange pi prime.

No leds bulb, no boot screen, no sounds... nothing. Power adapter and voltage are ok.
I have on gpio2 and 6 sth about 5,3V but as i wrote before... nothing happens after power on.

Hi,
Did you check if there is any output at the UART port?

I checked HDMI firstly - black screen, monitor showed the message 'there is no signal'.
What with UART via USB port to PC and then putty with com connection?

What with UA ...

Seems like i cannot find the SD card on board. You need to write an image into SD card and boot with SD card.

no way

sd is prepared well via Win32DiskImager. Maybe Raspbian is the answer?
I checked also images:
OrangePi_Prime_Android_V0_1.img - not working.OrangePi_Prime_ArchLinux_Server_V0_1.img - not working.debian_server_jessie_prime_H5_V0_1.img - not working
There's no led blinking and other action like boot screen or sth else. In my opinion board is damaged or sth like that.

How did you write the different images?
For the android it is important that you follow the instructions. 1. format SD card with a tool, 2. write with PheonixCard.
For armbian I had no prblems to use Etcher.

Do you get any output at the UART port?
