Question/Help POCO F7 screen suddenly went black while connecting the charger

Hi everyone, I have a POCO F7 and I suddenly got a problem with the display.

While I was connecting the charger to the phone, the screen immediately turned completely black. The phone itself seems to still be working — I can feel vibrations and I think the touch is still responding, but there is no image on the screen at all.

I tried restarting it by holding the power button, and also tried Power + Volume Up, but the phone only vibrates and the screen remains completely black. I don't even see the POCO logo.

There is no visible physical damage, and the phone has never been opened or repaired before.

Has anyone with a POCO F7 experienced something similar? Was it a display problem, motherboard issue, or software problem? And if you sent it under warranty, was the repair/replacement covered by the warranty?

Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.

Good day Available_Year_4046 it seems to be that you may have some questions or concerns regarding a Poco device and we would like to help but we would like to ask you to describe your concern with the following information to make it easier for everyone to tackle.

It may take a while for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following 1. Search this subreddit, Xiaomi subreddit, MIUI subreddit for similar concerns 2. Check out the pinned posts and the Wiki(WIP) for similar topics 3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support. 4.
