I am still using F1 but as secondary work, while X3 Pro as main. Not sure if its because it was dropped before or its just old, but it doesnt feel as smooth fast anymore. But then again, its really not new phone anymore, and it does serve the function as secondary can whatsapp, calls, and youtube,

I feel you, because I noticed my F1 screen is blinking liao. Just curious. Let's say if I do monthly backups for my F1, then it crashes like your situation. No use right, because won't be able to retrieve data to restore the backup data to another poco phone also... 🤔

I daily backup to my google account, but I din restore to my new poco phone, the setup use a manual method before the cloud option.

Try not to store too many things locally, especially on a dated device.....

Try plug in and charge for a while then try turn on. If that works, just need to change battery.

Mine also turn black screen and cannot on but while plug in it works, so ended up just changing new battery.

Yeah I tried the plugged in method, because to access the boot menu, that is also one option. Not to mention that, when it 'died', it was already plugged in lol.

If you don’t mind the risk of wasting $38, can just try replacing the battery. It might work but also may not as it could be other issues.
