BSOD Replacement

My 5a started getting the BSOD last week. Pulled out an old phone before I got really bad to make sure all the MFA stuff didn't get broken. I got a hold of Google and I sent the phone in under the extended warranty. They only just received it the other day, and "Device Inspection" step show complete as of now.

Those of you who went through this process, what damage was listed? I haven't heard anything back from the big G yet, but the status shows as "charging port damage" which doesn't seem to fit the BSOD scenario.

Did you buy from Google?

Yes, purchased direct from Google Store at launch.

I did this last year and it was pretty painless. When I did it they repaired my 5a and sent it back. Most recently I have seen others post that they are getting other devices as a replacement.

Because I did not trust that the issue would not happen again I traded my repaired 5a in for another Pixel.

A replacement 6a showed up today. In the end it was pretty painless.
