📱 Google Pixel 6a Repair Story – Sometimes it’s not just a “simple drop”
A customer brought in his Google Pixel 6a today saying it fell on a carpet and suddenly wouldn’t turn on at all. Since the battery had been replaced just a few months ago, we suspected the battery might have come loose.
I opened the phone up to check… and found something more serious.
Both the battery connector and the socket on the motherboard were damaged. Even a soft drop on carpet was enough to cause this issue because the previous battery replacement may not have been seated properly, making the connection fragile.
Moral of the story:
• Even “light” drops can cause hidden damage, especially on phones that have had battery replacements.
• Always use quality parts and reliable electronics engineer for phone repair
Glad we caught the real problem and will contact the customer whether he’d like to proceed to have it repaired.
