Chosen Solution
Hi, I have a Pixel 3 that no longer charges and has run out of batteries. I noticed shortly before it did that it was at 1% battery. When I plugged it in (or used the wireless charger), the charging symbol turned on and it stayed powered indefinitely, but the % charge never went up. I should have copied my data off—only one thing I need—but instead I attempted to reboot. It powered down and now won’t turn on, display anything, or charge. Any suggestions on how I might get it to power up long enough to copy some data off? I’ve removed the back and wireless charging coil successfully, but have stopped there. I honestly don’t care if the device ever charges again or survives the process overall, but I also don’t really have any ideas on what to do from here. Thanks for any help! -Jef
@puk Generally, a phone will not power up unless a good battery is connected. If the battery really doesn’t hold any charge, the symptoms you are describing would make sense, so I would recommend getting a new battery.
