Xiaomi Mi A3 Dead

My mobile automatically died please solution now

Phone is dead now after one and half year of use.

i took it to authorised service centre they checked it and say issue in mother board and that’s quite expensive it costs around 8500. I’d left it dead.

pathetic phone, my first and last from Xiaomi.

My A2 is still rocking.

It just became a bit slow, and battery performance slightly degraded.

The Kapaver Case I bought with the phone recently worn out so today I bought a new one.

My mom currently using it and she loves the phone.

If you don’t rely on banking apps much then install a vanilla (without gapps) custom rom. It will run superb without any issue.

I think xiaomi intentionally harm their phones with stupid OTA updates.

Better stick to custom roms.

@sahil1033 had similar experience day before yesterday, my mi A3 had 60% charge,i was searching something the screen suddenly went off,i tried charging,pressing volume plus power but the screen never turned on not even the tiny white light on top,the service centre said whole motherboard has to be changed,so gave it to a local shop he said the power IC is damaged but he’s unable to find the replacement IC so he can’t fix it,if you have repaired your phone or found a solution please mail me at REMOVED ,also if anybody knows how to extract the data from a dead phone like this,please mail me!!

Even my 2 years old Mi A3 died all of a sudden. The local repair shop couldn’t repair it and he asked me to visit service center saying it might need motherboard replacement. But considering the cost I didn’t visit service center and the phone is now lying idle.

Changed emmc from local shop but it was not working well so ultimately I had to sell it redmi note 7
Price of repair 1000
Try in edl mode

I’m not too sure what the guy said, he said either MIMC, eMMC or any close combination including letters C & M for sure.

But anyway, upon searching for Power IC, pricing ranges well within Rs. 500, then why is he asking for Rs. 2,000 for replacing the same?

A2 still working fine.
Hope that remain till I get good exchange offer

I think it is no co-incidence that 2 of my sister’s Mi A3 also went blank. I had purchased it 2 years back for them. Seems like planned obsolescence from Mi as Android One didn’t fetch it much revenue.

I did take it to a local shop today. He said that there are 2 possibilities, if Power IC is to be replaced, that will cost Rs. 2,000 and something EMMC chip is to be replaced, then that will cost Rs. 3,500.

I feel so terrible that out of nowhere it stopped working and damages are so high for a phone around 12k.

Mi A3 was my first and last phone from Xiaomi. Pathetic phone and updates (Proximity sensor didn’t work for 60% of the time i used it, each broke used to break it)
Maybe take it to the nearest service centre for use it as a paper brick.
Mine had burn-in issues just after one year, got it repaired for 5500 from service center.

For spare list, you can call them. They’ll quote you or select your phone and check herehttps://www.mi.com/in/service/spareparts...e/

I think it’s better to avoid authorised service centers. Even if its IC could be replaced separately they will insist on replacing the entire motherboard which is prohibitively expensive. I haven’t come across a single report so far from those using custom ROMs with such issues. Only those using stock MIUI.
