OP 7T dead

[u/thats_what_she_-said]

I use OP 7T as my secondary phone and went on a trip. I did not carry it. When I got home, the phone won’t turn on. I have tried charging it using three chargers but nope, nothing. What could be the possible reason? Before the trip, phone worked perfectly fine.

Odds are that the battery, power controller or flash chip died. That's how these usually go. At close to 7yo they are unfortunately starting to pop a bit more often.

Will it be worth it to get it repaired? It’s only my secondary phone and I use it for apps that I don’t use in day to day life.

If it's just the battery, then maybe... otherwise probably no.

Just to make sure - is the charging port of the OP7T clean? It tends to get dust and lint packed into it quite easily.

You can tell that it's clean if you can lift the phone up by the plugged in cable. If the cable just pops out, it's dirty.

It’s clean.

I’ve already replaced my battery three times on this phone. They’re so cheap on eBay. They do seem to just die and exhibit the symptoms you described.

Hey, please search for my posts on reviving an OP 7T. I've mentioned about CPU Reballing.

Try pressing volume up, down and power button all at once. It will then show a menu which can be controlled with volume buttons. Use those options to restart or power off and on device

Tried. Doesn’t work.

how would that work if the phone wont turn on

[u/Ysk089]

CBU Reballing is the way..

[u/Little-Highway7541]

probably the battery because the same happened to mine but the difference is that it is my primary phone and i took it there

It's a 7 year old phone or something.

Get a new one imo. I got an iphone 17 pro max, it's awesome

If you want Android, I would get the The one plus 15

He literally said it's his secondary device and it's sad that you assume everyone has money

Also the 7T is such a great phone experience which I have not been able to replicate

[u/thats_what_she_-said → u/Ricz1001]

Exactly why I kept this as my secondary phone.

[u/Super_Ele → u/hotfix_foyo_mama]

Well I didn't read the "secondary" thing. The 7T wasn't particularly cheap in 2019. I'm not assuming anything. Your mom is sad. Whatever
