Google Pixel 6 series

After about 1 and a half year of use, my Pixel 6 suddenly died on me this morning. Black screen, totally unresponsive, no virbrations, no sound, totally no signs of life. Tried performning hard restart by pressing Power button + Volume Up, but to no avail. Has any one experienced this before?

Left side of the screen feels hot after attempting hard restart for a few times, at this point, things certainly don't look so good, already feel like its a busted mobo.

Better to just bring in to service centre to test.

Yup, bringing it in soon, don't really have much of a choice here, since there's nothing I can do with it being in this state lol. Still, I'm surprised, after just 1 year plus, the phone just died like this. Got no dents, nothing, outside still in perfect shape.

Just a quick update.

SC confirmed it's a dead mobo, and I have to pay $25 for diagnostics to see which part of the mobo is dead, so I decided not to. The repair cost is as stated on their website, $475 for a mobo replacement with 1 month warranty.

Although SC agreed that the phone is still physically in great shape, no dents/cracks/chips/water damaget at all, but still, they couldn't tell me anything more other than the fact that the mobo is busted. Also, they did mention a lot of Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have been sent in to repair, so I guess I'm just one of em lucky ones.

I'm writing in to Google Support, though at this point, I don't have high hopes. Backup your Pixel guys in case one day it decides to **** on itself, just like mine.

Idk if this is just a Pixel 6 problem, but at this point, I'm really dissapointed in the Pixel series. Even Chinese phones can last wayyy longer than a mere 1.5 years.

AFAIK pixel 6 series phones are trash. A mid range China phone will perform better than pixel even though it comes with stock OS.

Google ask people to upgrade to 7a

Kill switch built in.... Force user change to new phones if sales figure never hit...

That's why pixel 7 was out so fast. 6 got to much issues. My $300 phone are more enjoyable to use than p6p.

Ah.. I must be blind that I didn't see the post above..

Mine is also just 1.5yrs! How "coincidental"?????? I just did a restart few days back and there was a system update as well.. this is totally frustrating as I switched from Samsung to Pixel with such high hopes!!

I've just charged to 100% before the phone died on me. Did try charging and the phone didn't even turn warm whatsoever.. can it not be battery problem? sigh..

Hihi,

Did you hear back from Google Support?

Mine is totally well protected as well.. I'm really disappointed.. and I have no backup cos not enough storage..

I thought I could use it for at least 2yrs.. and agree that China phones can use way longer than that.. have Xiaomi still going strong after 3yrs..

Just bring it in to the SC bro. We really cant advice much. Let them do the diagnostic and see what is the cause.

Tensor might the the cause... The heat it generated might have caused the short lifespan of the components inside

I can't imagine paying $4xx for a problem not caused by user........ my phone is still in immaculate condition and I'm considerably a light user....
