Pixel 3 XL does not turn on after dropping - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I've dropped the phone and I could see that as soon as it hit the ground the screen went black.
This is a Pixel 3 XL that I own for some time and have already replaced the screen and the battery by myself.
When I connect to original USB charger, the battery charging icon starts flashing. If I hold Power ON, Google logo appears briefly and screen goes black again. After 3-4 hours on the charger, the phone is not even a little hot, probably denoting it was indeed not charging (?).
If I put the phone a Samsung wireless charger, the charger recognizes the phone, but there are no screen indicators.
I've just made a video:
Maybe it's a battery wire issue? Or maybe the battery is dead? What do you think?

you can dissasemble the phone (heat plate to soften adhesive and insert picker) and (disconnect and) reconnect or replace battery

Well, it turns out that the phone is bootlooped. The charging battery icon blinking was the phone bootlooping. I found out when I unlocked the bootloader via fastboot. So sad.
I'm trying to run this command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
But the phone restarts before entering recovery.

I have the same problem. What should I do to recover? Thanks.

Note 2 only shows Battery screen?

My phone died overnight yesterday, and when I got home today I found it to be dead, so I plugged it in and turned it on.
The menu where it shows an empty battery which fills up as you charge it was there, but the screen was frozen.
I tried plugging in and out the charger, tried booting with and without the battery, and each and every time, the screen with the empty battery and a frozen loading circle just comes up.
It might be my cable, so I plugged it into my HTC One X.
It worked fine, it charges but only if I bend the micro-usb side of the cable.
The reason for this is because I ran over the cable's front end with my computer chair, and somehow it only works when you angle it some way now. But, if I do angle it correctly, it will charge and if remained in that position it will charge.
I plugged the USB into my computer to see if it would read the Note 2, nothing.
Tried it with the One X, and it worked.
The very dim red LED light did come up though, when I was holding the power button.
Any ideas on what I should do?
Should I replace the USB cable? This may be a factor, but the frozen empty battery screen and the fact that the charger still works baffles me.
Some other notes:
The Note 2 is running a custom 4.4.2. ROM: W03 SLIM V9 or something.
It has also been recently hard resetted, and everything was working fine until it died last night.
What should I do!!

Swap the cable...
And not sure what you mean about the charger ???
I've managed to get the right angle of my charge and bot into recovery, and from there I booted into system.
Now it isn't stuck on the zero battery screen and is charging now

Sounds to me like the battery was drained enough that it needed some time to charge before it would even turn on. I know my old iPhone behaved like that if I let the phone die.
Glad it sorted itself out.

[Q] Phone Boots when battery is connected then goes black.

First thing is first, I have been searching here and Google and have not found this exact problem.
I am running cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY currently
Today my phone turned off on its own while connected to a car charger.
Here is what it is doing.
When the battery is connected the phone turns on and gets to the Samsung logo, then it goes black. No back light, nothing. If I pull the battery and re-insert it, it happens again. Once it goes black none of the buttons seem to be responsive (cannot force a reboot by holding the power button). Once it goes black if I connect it to a charger I get no LED indicating charge level.
If I try to boot into recovery I see the blue text and then it goes black.
If I try to boot into download mode I can get to the triangle screen if I am fast and then it goes black.
If I have a data USB cable connected and I connect the battery the phone does nothing, and will not respond to the power button, again no LED light indicating charge level.
If I have a charge only cable (wall outlet) connected and I connect the battery I see the battery charge icon for about 1 second and then the screen goes black. and the phone will not respond to any buttons.
I have duplicated all these things with 2 batteries both actual Samsung batteries, neither of the batteries is bubbled out at all.
I have tried leaving the battery out for several hours, but this did not help.
I have data on this phone that was not backed up so any suggestions I will try.
Thanks

Return to stock with Odin to see if the problem goes away. If not, report back and we will go from there.

I would if I could get it into download mode... The screen will not stay on for more than 5 seconds and ODIN never sees the phone.
Here's a thread talking about that issue. I'm afraid it sounds like your display is dead:

I had this problem before and I was freaking out, but it was just the cord I used when trying to connect it, but yours sounds like an overload problem, maybe from your car charger if it plugs into the car lighter socket. My buddy has a super recharger that hooks into his lighter socket, and while it may charge fast, it might have jolted your phone, or maybe you had it over clocked in your rom? Or was it a recent occurrence or did it happen as soon as you installed the rom? Because this happens on a bad flash sometimes, if your Wi-Fi connection is shaky or far off, you could get a bad download and it will royally harm your time having to mess with it.

If it was just the screen wouldn't I still be able to get into download mode?

I had flashed the night before and it ran fine all night and all morning, then it just shut down. The car charger I use is not a super charger, but it is also not a Samsung charger. I was not overclocked and my wifi is not shaky usually.
Seems like I am screwed either way.

This blows, I just had the Same Exact thing happen last night, word for word.
Although I'm on a stock Rom that's rooted.
Phone was in my pocket and it vibrated as it restarted on its own. Pulled it out of my pocket, waited for it to fully start up, then I could use it.
However, it rebooted 2 minutes later and has Never come back yet.
I wish there was some sure fire way to verify if its the screen that went bad or the logic board. The mere fact the screen shows the Galaxy S4 logo, or Download Mode for a few seconds before shutting off seems weird if the screen was in fact bad.... =(

Check your power button, it could be stuck.

You were correct! Had to mess with that button a bit to get to work properly, but its still an issue. One to many power button presses and the issue returns.
I have tested the phone without the exterior power button only using the logic board button and it did that same thing. Am I correct to assume that the fault is the actual button on the logic board? So new logic board to fix this? =(
Why so many presses of the power button?

LG G3 Won't turn on after screen replacemt. (Mystery ground? enBattery dead?)

Hi everyone,
Replaced the screen on my LG G3, and now it won't turn on. Before I removed the screen, the battery was completely dead and I let it sit for a week and a half completely dead. I tested the battery with a multimeter and it shows about 2.7V across the + and -. But, the other terminals, it shows between 2.2V and 2.5V. When I plug the phone in now, there are no LED lit or anything. I tried just plugging the motherboard into a wall charger and even still, no LED lights. Oddly enough, though, I plugged the old screen back in(As well as the phone charger) and the backlight came on randomly for a second when I pressed the power button. The backlight wouldn't come back on again until i removed the power from the wall and the battery. It also helped if i unplugged and replugged the screen. It was very random. I am thinking that the motherboard grounds to the frame or something and I missed something on the install. Any thoughts? Thanks

Galaxy Tab 8.4 SM-T700 bricked itself

So I was using my tablet one evening and the battery was drained down to 5%. I turned it off and set it away. When I returned to use it the next day it wouldn't turn on. Thinking it had no charge left, I set it to charge. I noticed the red charging light would not come on. The screen remains black at all times. I could feel a source of heat from behind the plastic backing. Some searches indicated the charging cable from the battery to the motherboard could be the culprit. I opened the back and found it seated. I removed it and reseated anyway. I left the cover off the back and plugged in the charging cable. I could feel one of the chips by the power button getting quite hot. Again, no red light to indicate charging, black screen. I have tried plugging the tablet into my computer and doing every combination of button holding for minutes that searches have supplied, POWER+VOLUME UP+ HOME, POWER+VOLUME DOWN, etc. No luck. I purchased a newer battery ( I've only used the tablet for about a month, and sparingly at that) and swapped it. No red light, same hot chip. Is the motherboard junked? Am I missing something? Appreciate any help.

So,
Rodserling, What happened?
Metako-a-o-yasin.
erase111
Scritterz: Nothing has happened as of yet, it's become a paperweight.
Thanks Mr niceguy, I'm going to give that a shot. Couldn't hurt. I have however already purchased and installed a new battery with no change in operation, that chip on the motherboard still gets hot, no charging indicator light is lit and it just sits there not turning on.

Battery too low. Charge for a while before powering on

Hi,
I just installed a new battery into my OnePlus 3, because the old one was starting to bulge and push against the screen.
After installing the new battery and attempting to boot with the charger plugged in, the phone won't boot past the 1+ screen.
It buzzes, shows the 1+ screen for a while and then goes dark and buzzes again etc. If I pull out the charger cable it goes dark instantly.
If I hold down the volume down button and the power button for 30sec it boots and shows a warning screen saying "Battery too low. Charge for a while before powering on". However, this screen only shows for a split second before going dark again.
I added a photo of the same screen on a different phone that I found online as the screen really disappears within a few milliseconds on my phone:
https://ibb.co/zJJ4fMf
Does anyone know what this means? Is the new battery faulty and should I return it? Is there something I should do to reset something? Can it be that it is simply not properly connected?
Any help is welcome! Thanks
you should leave the phone and let it charge until 100%

I let it charge all night, but obviously it is not charging...
is there anything important on the device
Just opened up my phone to put the old battery back in and that's when I saw that the connector had gotten loose. :silly:
There were some small pieces of tape on the original battery's connector that are supposed to hold it in place, so I fabricated my own out of Scotch. Hopefully that will hold the connector in place.
ok get back to me because i want to know if you have solved this
