i've been holding the power button for 84 years

Cleaning the sensors, and hard resetting worked for me! Thank you so much. I was panicking something fierce when i couldn't turn my phone back on.

My 3a XL's screen went to a pixelated mess, and was unresponsive. I couldn't boot in safe mode, or do a reset. The hard squeeze technique fixed the problem immediately! Much appreciated. Google was telling me i'd have to send it to a repair shop, and might not be covered with a warranty.

Nothing worked! for two days, but then I tried the pressure trick one but with my knee (more pressure, weight), all the surface, both sides. Then connected to the charger and power button for 30 seconds, and magically it turned on! The battery was at 0% despite being connected before hen I had tried almost everything already! This video saved my phone, for now!

@worldoftech: Be aware! Fast tapping the power button like mentioned at about 2:05 actually calls 911 on my phone (I think it is a setting you can turn on or off)! I still didn't have my screen back, but the call connected and I had to explain that I accidentally called 911. I even ha to have her hang up, because I had no way of stopping the call.

The pressing really hard worked! Thought my 3a was dead after only a couple of months. Thanks for making this video!

[johnygamache]

thank you so much after i press hard on screen and on the back my screen phone is back on thank you SO MUCH DUDE !

Thank you so much! I am still within the first 30 days of purchase. This has happened twice already. For $800 I shouldn’t have to do any of this. “Put in the freezer” ?! 4 yrs old LG died. Think I will start researching other options. These solutions are insane. Thanks again

[Truquoh]

You're actually a blessing. Spammed the on & off button with no remorse & now it's working!

[dogmom]

My Pixel 3xl just died, followed directions, and volia it's working! Thank you for your video.

[cherlainetabo]

OMG I LOVE YOU IT The squeezing and rubbing of front and back of the phone got it going again!!!

[shakemacarson]

I tried everything and phone still wont come on

[GamingArtistStudios]

Heads up: DO NOT DO THE STUCK POWER BUTTON TRICK. I did that when my phone was still responsive, but still with a permanent black screen. When the phone is on, this actually triggers the Emergency Call feature, and long story short, this process ended in an accidental 911 call. Not trying to bash this video maker, I'm sure something must have changed software-wise since 2019, but just wanted to make sure nobody else has this embarrassing incident like I did

Perfect fix, just cleaned screen, and restarted. Thank You 🙏🏼

[CARL_EDITS]

Thank you so much! I took my phone to the local phone repair store, it was stuck in a boot loop and they couldn't solve the issue. I was advised to drive an hour away because it was a software issue. I chose to google first and came across your video. I followed all of the steps with the exception of the freezer and was able to complete factory reset. I will lose some things, but it is so much better than having to replace the phone in which case they would have been lost anyway and I would have been out unnecessary funds on top of it.

Thanks again!

I'm stunned this worked. I think it was the smooshing step that fixed it for me. I bought a new phone 2 years ago but had my pixel 3 sitting around and decided to give it a shot before recycling it. Kudos to you sir and thanks!

[absentmindedstudios]

Bro. Spamming the power button called 911. 😬

[p.b.]

THANK you very much!!! I've prayed to find a solution and your video came up! I've followed your instructions and after pressing the screen, my phone worked again! God bless you. Thank you very much.

[ugochukwunjoku]

Thank you for this! Repeatedly pushing the power and volume control buttons fixed it.

[alexandrabruce]

You are a life saver!!! I'm so not tech savvy and I guess i was letting go of the power button too soon. You saved this mom a stressful day!
