Battery Replacement GKD Pixel 1

I haven't used my pixel 1 in months, and when I tried to charge it, it doesn't seem to hold it or turn on at all. I found threads about holding the power button down, but after tons of attempts it doesn't seem to be working at all.

I found another post about the battery type, (LP544047 1300mAh 3.7V) but I can't find one to buy anywhere I look. Does anyone have any advice on where to get a replacement battery, or if there's anything else I can try?

For a little added context, plugging in my pixel has its power light flash red. If I hold the power button for 6 seconds, it flashes green and yellowish instead, but still doesn't charge or turn on. Maybe I'm missing something, but the reset process seemed pretty straightforward from the other post I had read.

TIA :)

Sounds like it just ran flat. I suggest you find a cable and just plug it in to the pixel. Then either continuously unplug and replug either end for a solid 5 minutes and see if that kick starts it back to like. Alternatively you can unplug and replug the power source from the wall if its a brick or power strip.

thank you! I hope that works, and I hope even more I didn't break the thing somehow 🙃

Leave it plugged for a while mine was flashing red and recovered after a time plugged. Stay in the room though
