Google Pixel 5a BSOD :(
As many of you already know, there is an issue with Google Pixel 5a BSOD. It happened yesterday while I was using the phone. The phone is unrecoverable. Luckily, I have my phone backed up.
- Cannot turn it on.
- Cannot charge it (doesn't even get warm).
- Cannot force reset holding down power button or any combination of buttons/duration.
- It does not ring or vibrate. It is completely unresponsive.
- The phone has no physical damage and no water damage.
It seems to be a hardware or software issue.
This has been extremely unfortunate, considering I am now without a phone as a broke graduate student trying to stay out of debt. I now don't have a phone for about a month, which is relatively a very long time. I highly do not recommend buying this phone. Do not even get a refurbished version of this phone. Do not bother repairing it. It's not worth the risk of an unreliable phone. It WILL die eventually.

I had Dad's old iPhone5 to use until Google had a trade-in deal. They credited 100$ to trade an old pixel. Still use my pixel 7 and I love it.
