BPI-M5 not powering on (no LEDs lit)

I inserted an SD card with Linux image and plugged in a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Then I tried plugging in my USB-C power supply (5V@3A). I was expecting to see some LEDs light up, but nothing happened. Do I have a faulty power socket or am I doing something wrong?

In case it helps: at one point, I accidentally plugged my HDMI cable into a Mac Mini instead of a monitor, and then I saw three lit LEDs on the Pi.

solution:

powering with PD capable PSU is not possible. It has to be dumb 5V

USB-C powerbanks are also often PD capable… and therefore do not work.

as this post pops up in a search i add what i found with this topic at looking at https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m5/

The power supply could be the issue. Check my other comment.
