Dead Cell Phone

 

Can anybody suggest a good cell repair shop. My Google Pixel 5a will not turn on. Fun thing is if I call it, it vibrates so maybe the screen died?

Help,? Dave W6VYC
 


My pixel has done this before and I just had to hold the power button in step 1 for 30 seconds (which is a freakishly long time).

May be worth a shot! I gave up before the 30s mark before reading about it personally.

A trek for you but may be worth it... I have used him twice:

He's replaced a couple cracked screens for family members and put a new battery in my old iPhone SE.? Make an appointment and he'll do the repairs while you wait.? Raymond's Sourdough Bread Outlet is right across the street, so you can get some bread straight from the oven while you're there.?

Aaron and All,

Thanks for the tip. I just got back from seeing Shakeel and he thinks it is the screen. He ordered one and says it will be $150 to replace it. I thought that my photos were not backup, but when I checked they are all on the Google Photos on the web. So, I decided to buy a new Pixel 8a which Google will sell me for $299.

Thanks to Everybody for the feedback and Happy New Year,? Dave W6VYC
