There's some hacks and methods on YouTube. I went through all these the other day in the same scenario, but never found one which would work 😬
Hey nostr:npub1hxx76n82ags8jrduk0p3gqrfyqyaxnrlnynu9p5rt2vmwjq6ts3q4sg75y nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5
My Pixel 5a with #GrapheneOS froze on me yesterday, and powered down. Was at ~65% battery. I was doing a lot of back-n-forth between apps. It did it earlier that day too when I was doing a similar workflow (back-n-forth between Nostr apps, browsers, etc.)
The device will not turn on, even when trying to hard restart.
Any suggestions to get it to turn back on? It seems like the RAM may be full.
Was not dropped, never really abused it (leaving it on for days at a time at the most).
Pixel 5a. Yes old, but I first flashed GOS in late 2023 as brand new device, so only been operating for ~16 months.
Any help is appreciated 💜

Mind sharing some links? I've looked through many so far but no luck either 🫂

Basically they say, that sometimes it's just the screen, not the ram itself. If it is indeed the ram, it's pretty much fried for good.
Great thank you.
I did see sometimes it's just the screen. Other times its the motherboard, etc.
I'll take a glance
