Redmi 8a Not turning On - Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers

Hi everyone!
Yesterday, my mother's Redmi 8a suddenly shutdown and it won't power on since. I've tried the Vol- / Vol+ & Power On but nothing happens. The only thing is that when pressing the Power Button, it vibrates/buzzes. I can't reach my mother's house, because of the outbreak here in Spain, and I'm trying to help her recover the phone but nothing works. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have the same problem, suddenly not working after a walk in the rain where it did not get soaked. (just some raindrops hitting it, but it was definitely not pouring). When I hold the power button it buzzes as if it were rebooting but the screen is not coming on. Any tips?

Help! Galaxy Tab won't turn on!

I was watching a YouTube video, and my Tab just shut down. It did feel really hot on the back, now that I think about it.
But I've tried everything! Keeping it plugged into the wall, hold power for 30 seconds while touching screen, holding for 15 then for 7, Volume Up + Power, Volume Down + Power, and plugging it into the wall. Nothing's working.
I have a Metallic Grey 32GB with the latest TouchWiz Rom.
Please help.
i had the same - it seem to have restarted by having it plugged in the PC and then pressing Power + Volume up and volume down all at the same time ... strange though
I've had it for about 9 days and have used it every single day. Last night I downloaded 2 movies onto it and everything was fine. Today it would not power on one bit! I charged it over night so the battery shouldn't have drained. I ended up fixing my problem by doing the following:
Held the power button.
At the same time, placed a finger on the screen.
Held it down for 15 seconds or more and it booted up!
Not sure why it only worked when I put my finger on the screen.
I ended up exchanging it either way just in case.
i had a similar experience when it looked like the images on my screen was tarring and making really odd graphical errors, and then shut off... but i could see that the backlight was still on.. So i help power button untill backlight turned off.. and then plugged it into the charger and turned it on holding the power down button, which luckly got me into recovery.. i then reflashed the kernel, seems to have been a dodgy flash, but its working now..

[Q] No display after attempted .28 update

Hi guys,
I tried to update my BONE STOCK Prime to the .28 update. I walked away for about a hour, came back and the screen is black, and nothing I do can turn the thing on.
I've done the following.
Held the power button from 2-120 seconds
Held Power Button + Vol Down from 10-120 Seconds
Pushed the Reset button for 30 seconds.
The only kind of response from the tablet I get is a vibration. The screen never turns on.
Does anybody have any other ideas that my get this thing started back up?
Hold vol up and down and power for a short while before the vibraation occurs. Then release vol up and you should be good. May take several trys.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.
Any other ideas out there?
let it drain completely so when holding power button it doesn't vibrate etc.
charge for 5 minutes. does red battery icon come on?
hold paperclip pinhole in for 30 seconds. release. does it boot or is it still black screen.
if still black screen, contact Asus. you may have it stuck in APX mode.

Prime Wont boot

So I have a standard vanilla prime except I rooted it to be able to hook up my six axis. Other than that it is as stock as you can get with OTA updates.
My problem is that last night it crashed on me and wouldn't turn on from the power button so I let it sit overnight figuring I'd deal with it the next day. And today it's not booting up. I have tried charging it, pressing and holding the power button for 10 and 60 second intervals, and holding the vol down button with the power button. Nothing is turning it on. Thanks for any help you can give.

Need help with a hanged Note 5 AI

Hi,
I’ve got a Note 5 AI (SD 636, dual rear camera) that I bought used from eBay, so don’t know much about its history. The phone worked just fine for a couple of days, then, and while I was watching a local video using MxPlayer the screen freezed, then turned black when I pushed to power button. The phone got hanged …….…. it was completely dead, couldn’t force it to power off, nothing happened when plugged to charger, no vibration, no led………
The phone came back to life the day after, when the battery has completely discharged……….so, I charged the phone, did a factory reset, applied all the updates and then launched again my video with MxPlayer, after about 30 min…BANG, hanged, and dead again.
My phone came back again when the battery discharged………after a complete charge, I launched my video using VLC this time and was able to loop the video for more than 8H without problems.
I thought to myself that for some reason my phone doesn’t like MxPlayer, not a big deal, I can live with that………. but yesterday, the bastard did it again, and this time I was watching YouTube. So, I’m waiting right now for the battery to discharge.
What annoys me more than the hanging problems is that I can’t force the phone to power off, I tried all possible buttons combinations without success.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

I think you can restart phone holding power button for 10 or more seconds.. once you restart your phone, try to do a factory reset..

Fully discharge it and It will shut down I guess... But if that doesn't work you will need EDL flashing... There is a separate section for Redmi Note 5 AI (Whyred) you can share your problem there.

Amazfit GTR doesn't turn on

Hi
I bought amazfit gtr on August 20th. Tonight the watch turned off and doesn't turn on, doesn't charge and doesn't respond to anything. The battery had about 80%. I tried to hold the buttons for about 30 seconds but it didn't help. Is it bricked?
Please help.
Warranty is? Bring to seller then
I've got the same Problem.
Is there any solution.
I doubt there is a solution. I returned to the seller.
I just had the same problem today, simply fixed by holding the power button for 30s and then holding it again to boot it up
I have the same problem and holding the power button does not solve the problem.
Fixed mine
Five year old kept pressing the buttons non stop. My screen blanked out. Tried holding each button for 30 seconds. Top then bottom then Tried pressing both buttons simultaneously and it fixed my problem.
Not sure if it was the bottom button hold or the two Button simultaneous press.
Hope this helps.
Interesting... A hardware based (button) reset isn't documented as far as I know so discovering what works and how much of reset it does will be useful
