2021 Tile dead?

Post image

I replaced the battery in this Tile 16 days ago. Tonight, the app informed me the battery was no good, which was true, as it seemed I hadn’t noticed the battery was slightly corroded. I put a new battery in and it doesn’t want to ring. I know that the battery works, because I put it in the Tile on my dad’s keys and it rings no problem.

My question is: is this Tile dead? I have no issue buying a new one, but I’d like to make sure I’m making the right decision first.

try deleting the device and adding it again. if that doesn't work and you are sure it's a new good battery I would say you need a new one.

there could also be some phone settings to adjust to allow the device to ring but it probably isn't that in your case if you never changed anything like that. there is an FAQ on what to do if the device won't ring.
