Hello all,

My 4 year old Pixel 7 pro died suddenly yesterday while it was charging. It had about 50% battery and it died. I cannot turn it on anymore, i kept it charging with another slower charger but nothing happened. The only thing that appears on screen while connected to a charger is a small very faint grey rectangle with a lightning bolt on it. But once i try to keep the power button pressed that disappears and nothing happens.

I accept that the phone is dead but i was wondering if there is any way to recover some data from it. some of the files I had on it (not really the photos which are backed up in the cloud).

Is there a way to power it up externally and access the storage?

    One time my pixel 7 suddenly died too. Turns out the connection of the cpu chip was messed up and I had to get it reboarded. Idk if that helps.

      Yeah any part on it seems so expensive. I replaced the screen for 350 euro. I already ordered a 9 pro xl. I was interested to recover some files from the downloads folder
