Which image did you flash ?

If you flashed a 5.2 image there will be no haptic.

That shouldn't stop it from booting but might affect the display.

From what you posted to the matrix channel it sounds like the board is
not getting past u-boot. I've seen this with a few images when the
u-boot env isn't correct. If you point me at the image you used I might
be able to diagnose it without you connecting the debug header.

Soldering on the debug header will make debugging way easier.

Cheers
