they are LiPo batteries so if they somehow managed to empty the battery completly and that safety chip did not do its work

2019-06-10 11:17:44 UTC  

then its dead for sure

2019-06-10 11:17:53 UTC  

>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.

if its li-ion with proper protective circuits sure it can go to "sleep" (security shutdown to prevent over discharge)

2019-06-10 11:20:09 UTC  

yea but i don't see the charging progress bar, isn't that kinda a thing you should see when you plug it in

2019-06-10 11:20:14 UTC  

but that usualy means they wont wake up ever again

2019-06-10 11:20:20 UTC  

he says "try charging for 8 hours" lol

2019-06-10 11:20:28 UTC  

but it's not shown to be charging

2019-06-10 11:20:44 UTC  

i'll do it anyway and after 8 hours if it still doesn't work he has no excuse

2019-06-10 11:21:56 UTC  

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

2019-06-10 11:22:09 UTC  

yea and i doubt a universal charger has that 2.9 v thing

2019-06-10 11:23:04 UTC  

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

2019-06-10 11:23:30 UTC  

and ofc depending on opinions its not safe or healthy to operate any device you dont understand mechanics once the safety has tripped

2019-06-10 11:23:33 UTC  

and i don't have that booster function or analyze

2019-06-10 11:23:44 UTC  

i dunno if phone charging circuits have same function

2019-06-10 11:23:45 UTC  

some might

2019-06-10 11:24:03 UTC  

yeah it's okay, for now i'll just do what he said. i plug it in for 8 hours

2019-06-10 11:24:10 UTC  

but you wont know unless you research the circuit or ask xiaomi

2019-06-10 11:24:20 UTC  

just dont leave it alone for 8 hours

2019-06-10 11:24:22 UTC  

yea xiaomi isn't likely to tell me

2019-06-10 11:27:21 UTC  

smarter than me people who are engineers on the EE field can fix my shit if they see something out of place

2019-06-10 11:27:41 UTC  

this is pretty much from top of my head stuff from school and work years

2019-06-10 11:28:21 UTC  

yea well i have an electronics engineering degree and i'm not about to dissect this

2019-06-10 11:28:37 UTC  

i don't have equipment at home to even try to see what's wrong

2019-06-10 11:58:16 UTC  

based and EEpilled

2019-06-10 12:05:42 UTC  

try turning the phone off

2019-06-10 12:05:46 UTC  

and plugging the charger in

2019-06-10 12:05:54 UTC  

does it show the charging screen for a short amount of time?

2019-06-10 12:05:55 UTC  

or just stay off

2019-06-10 12:52:26 UTC  

it is off, can't actually be turned on

2019-06-10 14:04:30 UTC  

sometimes plugging it in 10-20 times for 10 seconds each works

2019-06-10 14:09:18 UTC  

oh

2019-06-10 14:11:16 UTC  

>does it show the charging screen for a short amount of time?
it actually does this but there is no progress

2019-06-10 14:12:04 UTC  

just an empty battery symbol

2019-06-10 14:13:17 UTC  

this is looking like a good candidate for a dispute/refund, but i really want a working battery

2019-06-10 14:58:31 UTC  

yeah try what i said

2019-06-10 14:58:46 UTC  

on some phones it has the effect of trickle charging, and after a while it allows the battery to start charging again

2019-06-10 15:48:31 UTC  

i did

2019-06-10 15:48:42 UTC  

no joy

```Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China. Our country stipulates that this day is a legal holiday. In this festival, we usually have to sweep the tombs and worship our ancestors, so we will have a day off on April 5.```
