it's as if no battery is in
did you wire it right :D
yea i just put the thing on in the same way as the old battery
i was able to put the old battery back and it worked fine (but i wanted to replace it)
(because it drained too fast)
what phone
/battery
xiaomi RN3P global, BM46
it has this weird thin flat wire that ended in some small pins
like this, but it snaps into the board just fine
and it's not loose at all
sounds like dead battery or they have some chink-magic going on there and it needs initilisation or some shit somehow somwhere
yea i'm hoping on the chink magic
i will try all the hocus pocus dear ali friend tells me but if it doesnt work they can't blame me for wanting a refund
i mean at worst its housefire sooo
they are LiPo batteries so if they somehow managed to empty the battery completly and that safety chip did not do its work
then its dead for sure
>Hello, friend, please do not worry, the battery is good, but after a long period of transport, the battery goes to sleep, You can activate the battery with a universal charger. Then it works.
<:blobconfounded:427568418107949090>
if its li-ion with proper protective circuits sure it can go to "sleep" (security shutdown to prevent over discharge)
yea but i don't see the charging progress bar, isn't that kinda a thing you should see when you plug it in
but that usualy means they wont wake up ever again
he says "try charging for 8 hours" lol
but it's not shown to be charging
i'll do it anyway and after 8 hours if it still doesn't work he has no excuse
and taking that leap of faith to try ressurect "sleeping" li-ion would need booster function on battery charger/analyzer to have chance to wake it up from sub 2.9v state
yea and i doubt a universal charger has that 2.9 v thing
basicly the analyzers trick the chip to "yes yes we fine here full charge mate" untill the charger has managed to charge it to operating levels
and ofc depending on opinions its not safe or healthy to operate any device you dont understand mechanics once the safety has tripped
and i don't have that booster function or analyze
i dunno if phone charging circuits have same function
some might
yeah it's okay, for now i'll just do what he said. i plug it in for 8 hours
but you wont know unless you research the circuit or ask xiaomi
just dont leave it alone for 8 hours
yea xiaomi isn't likely to tell me
smarter than me people who are engineers on the EE field can fix my shit if they see something out of place
this is pretty much from top of my head stuff from school and work years
yea well i have an electronics engineering degree and i'm not about to dissect this
i don't have equipment at home to even try to see what's wrong
