Hi @jock, the chip seems truly suspicious, in reality the plastic even looks like it has some kind of rust or had too much heat on it. I think I didn't explained the power loss part well, the power loss takes place after an shutdown (but the led will be on, even after the shutdown). But after some tries I could reproduce the problem at the regular initialization process and have also found a solution. Generally I used the device with a 1024x600 (wsvga ia the weirdest resolution I know) HDMI Touch screen. If I boot the device on a regular powered on full hd screen and switch to the touch screen it works without any problems. If I boot without a screen (and switch to the touch screen) or with the touch screen already connected it will show nothing. So I guess its just some kind graphic driver problem. Since i want to let it run 24/7 it's completely fine.

Hi Guys, i am completly new to this topic. First of all i was smart enough to never safe the original OEM OS... Its not that bad since it was for free due shipping issues and i bought it for playing anyway. I have a very strange behavior on my Box MXQ Pro 5G 4K (officially 2G/16G in according to Armbian 1G/8G), it starts the multitool without any problems via SD-Card and i can install Armbian without any Problems on the Flash of the Box, but now there is the weird part the Armbian boots only the first time after installation without any problems like the GUI and everything works just fine, but if there is a powerloss it will never boot again without a complete reinstall of Armbian (or at least it looks like it doesnt boot maybe just the HDMI-Video Part doesnt wokr anymore). I think i found a way to avoid that problem by not completly set up the OS. Like: -Boot Armbian -Set up User -Set up root -Not set up Wifi (and dont connect to LAN) -Powerloss the Device Now it will start after boot into the CLI instead of an GUI, now i can install xinit and start the GUI manually (startx) if i remain in the CLI without starting the GUI the following messages will be shown: hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.2.auto: only one simultaneous stream supported hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.3.auto: ASoC: error at snd_soc_dai_startup on i2s-hifi: -22 and ssv wlan driver ssv 6200: failed to initialize mac, ret=-1 Since i cant upload images: https://ibb.co/60gJpCW https://ibb.co/18kXVq9 According to my informations the Board is an RK3229Q-221P-V1.3 but the Chips seems to be different to the ones of other users posted here. So in the end it works for me, but i wonder if that could be fixed.
