Repair guides and documentation for the Google Pixel 5a with 5G smartphone. Released in August 2021.

Device Froze For A Slipt Second, Then Turned Off.

Hello,

I was watching a YouTube video, the device went from landscape to portrait, and froze for a split second before turning off.

I have attempted to turn the device on again only for it to not power on.

NOTE: I have completed a successful repair once, by removing and installing a new screen on the device from ifixit.

Please advise to possible next actions.

Thank you.

Hi,

Apparently this issue has been around for some Pixel’s for a while and the outlook isn’t good.

Here’s a link to some reddit chats that discuss the problem.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/com...

Not sure what your options are but there was some mention of Google extension on warranty but you’d need to check that out for yourself.

A repair shop may assist you with identifying if it will have any repair support from Google.

Hope this helps you to find a resolution or replacement.

I see,

Well my phone is pretty old and I installed calyxos on to it.

So I bet Google will void any claim I attempt to submit. even though they shouldn't.

where can I get a new mother in that thread it seems to be a motherboard issue where can I get a new one? ifixit doesn't list one for sale on its parts site.

Thank you,

There is an answer from iFixit where a user was able to recover from this situation but not sure if it will help you or not:

Pixel 5a won't turn on

Scroll to the last answer.

Sorry don’t know where or if you can get a main board.
