Poco M3 Not powering solution

[@kjashdjas]

For anyone who has a Poco M3 that don't boot up even if you hold the volume and power buttons try this: 1. Remember what percentage your battery is when its last open if its about 80% it would take 3-4 days to drain the battery completely 2. put it somewhere warm like next to your router or pc case, the point is that if you think your Poco M3 has the battery fully drained and it won't open just let it heat up for a couple of hours. 3. When the phone is warm not too hot, try charging it and wait for about 3 minutes until you see a Phone Charging logo. DO NOT GO PAST 3 minutes because the phone will also charge without showing the logo of it charging and you'll have to wait a couple more hours for it to drain again. 4. Patience is the key. I've had my Poco M3 for about 1 year now and the problem started 6 months in, I've done this so many times now but i do hope it works for others because i don't see any other solution to this other than opening up your phone. Edit: I forgot to add 5. When its finally charging (with the charging logo on the screen) hold the power button to open it! repeat it multiple times every 10 seconds or else your phone won't boot up and you'll have to wait a couple more hours to deplete the battery!! Reminder this shit happens every 1 month. I've experienced it so many times now but the trick on Delaying the phone from Turning off is that you need to charge it up to 85% and not 100% and have it charge when it gets to 20%. I managed to have it on for at least 2 months without turning off. Hope this helps!!!

[@rickstechrepairs]

Thanks for you tips

[@Nobody-ll7bo]

should i really repeat it multiple times?

[@joegarcia6276]

Mine charges after a day but it's not powering on what could I do

[@callmebob5759]

tysm, this worked. i had to way for about 5 days, might be because it was on 100% before this happened

[@KFreire]

Thanks, coming back to this again, it helped me monthys ago.

[@gamwtizesti]

After 3 years of usage, my Poco M3 decided to pass out one day before my exams. I needed my phone so I could print a ticket and get myself into the university, so I knew there was no time to waste. Long story short, this video helped me revive my phone and now I am forever grateful for making me just a bit more familiar with phone hardware tinkering hehe. THUMBS UP U THE GOAT!!

[@swiss4366]

I wish mine was just a simple as this, hardware issues are far easier to solve, I've tried this method, but rather sadly, it still does not want to turn on. My Poco only turns on once the battery is fully depleted. It turned off a couple of months ago, and hasn't come back since. I really should've just bought a more local android. But, thank you for the video anyways!

[@rickstechrepairs]

hopefully you can find a permanent solution

[@swiss4366]

@@rickstechrepairs Aye, I hope so too. I've been researching quite a bit, but I've only found a few of Indian tech guys who are seemingly just adding a lot of flux to the Motherboard? I don't know, they say very few English words. And a thing telling me how to flash my firmware (but the phone needs to be *on* to do that, so I'm out of luck there)

[@simakosk]

@@swiss4366 have the sae problem, mine didnt work too with the method above, did you find a solution? dont want to thow it away...

[@swiss4366]

@@simakosk Honestly, I haven't thrown mine away, but with no technical support locally. (East Coast USA) I just gave up after several failed attempts at fixing it, and it's sitting in a box of electronics in my room. This phone was great, but it has problems riddled everywhere within it. I bought a Pixel 6 a few months ago, and already its paces better than the POCO. (well worth the price as well) I suggest trading the POCO in for parts, or somewhere so you can get some kind of return on it. I'm sorry I don't have any other solution. But I wish you the best of luck.

[@yoshselected]

@@swiss4366 how is pixel6 battery life? Is it like poco m3?

[@adie_add22]

Just try this and works, what a flimpsy cable for the battery. My father's phone goes black screen while battery still a lot. So the battery should be fine. As he also asked to check other phone to buy, theres nothing to lose to pry this phone. Phone start after reattach the charging cable and battery. But after screw the cover then same problem occur, reopen then reattach cable, while carefully, soft as possible to click the cover, screw, then the phone safely turn on. The cable so easily disconnect, such a sorry state of phone. Xiaomi brand will not be in my future phone purchase now. I lose confidence in their brand, their phone not last long Update: the phone is dead for good

mine too, it never started agai

[@tofik2450]

Dla osób, którym to nie pomaga: Czasami odlutowanie blaszki podobnej rozmiarami do karty nanosim z tyłu płyty głównej (tam gdzie jest pasta) pomaga, trzeba to zrobić hotair (lutownicą nie da rady próbowałem kilka razy no może jak nagrzejesz naprawdę mocno ale czy warto ryzykować, że coś innego się odklei albo coś przegrzejesz?). Czasami też trzeba po ponownym podłączeniu baterii lekko podważyć złącza ale tak z wyczuciem. Jeśli ktoś miał podobny problem piszcie chętnie wymienię doświadczenia!

[@nomtbg]

U mnie ta blaszka nie była przylutowana, wystarczy podważyć śrubokrętem i odchodzi. Ale to nie pomaga. U mnie pomogło podlanie procesora tonikiem, który jest pod tą blaszką i hotair na 280*C na dwie minuty. Telefon po tym zabiegu działa, ale nie wiem na jak długo.😀

[@tofik2450]

@@nomtbg a rezystory pod blaszką miałeś? Wychodziła wersja wgl bez tej blaszki i wtedy trzeba było rezystor jeden wyjmować. Skoro podlanie procka zadziałało (obstawiam, że nie na długo) to to była inna usterka. Tak czy inaczej dziękuję za komentarz.

[@nomtbg]

@tofik2450 dwa dni działał i już się nie uruchamia. Tak, były rezystory. Było naładowane 80% i chciałem sprawdzić czy się ponownie uruchomi. Wyłączyłem i już nie wstał. Podłączenie ładowarki też nic nie daje, czarny ekran. Dziwny przypadek...

[@tofik2450]

@@nomtbg to w tej wersji bez blaszki ale z rezystorami to któryś rezystor trzeba wywalić nie pamiętam już który bo po tym POCO już dwa telefony zajeździłem xD Można go włączyć jeszcze w jeden sposób. Zostawić na kilka dni wyłączony (poczekać az się bateria rozładuje do 0) podłączyć do ładowarki i zostawić na jakies 30 minut i wtedy włączyć pod ładowarką.

[@nomtbg]

@tofik2450 dzięki, poszukam w sieci, który to rezystor.

[@sipansibabdreddknot5179]

back 2021 my friend bought this and after a month it suffers from the dead after reboot. ive watch some arabic yt tutorials and the 100% fix is just remove the small shield near the sim tray. ive tried it and up to today his poco m3 still alive and working fine. the arabian guy explained that removing the shield prevent the capacitors from shorting to the shield when thermal expansion occurs because of current and heat, so when shorted caps and remove the PMIC prevents the loading of OS because maybe its detecting a short somewhere, today there are many fixes for poco m3 when dead boot my just removing the shield or reheating or replacing the PMIC which my friend poco m3 never encountered, anyways this poco brand of xiaomi is dead ass problematic by just maximizing on budget and profits
