Mine keeps doing that every few weeks so i leave the battery to completely drain which takes several days during which time i use my back up phone, then once the M3 can be restarted i use that again till the deadboot happens and then the cycle continues. It's been like that since the beginning of this year.

It will take about 3-7 days for a Poco M3 battery to completely drain. Best to leave it for a full week before trying to recharge and switch on.

      Anonymous, 17 Jul 2022Hello, did u experience the deadboot previously or you jus... moreMine already has been through this three times, first time I let the battery drain completely (around 14 hours without charging it), then charging it and pressing the volume down and power button and the same time and the screen popped like normal. Second time I went to a local and they told me it was a short circuit or a malfunction of some hardware in the phone and apparently it was solved; both of these times occurred when I restarted the phone. however this last time I had to restart it because the camera produced an error and the phone didn't reproduce any video or audio of any kind (YT, TW, downloaded music, etc.), and of course, it went dead again, but this time none of the button combinations seem to work and I can't go and spend $30 every time the phone decides to shut down. I went to an official Xiaomi shop in a plaza around here and they told me maintenance can't be done since I bought it online.
      Maybe if you can manage to open the back of the phone (which was pretty hard for me), carefully detach some part (maybe the battery too) and assemble it again maybe it will boot up. I recommend doing a backup as soon as you can get it to work again.
      Finally, if someone is considering on BUYING this phone, just don't do it, this dead boot problem is VERY COMMON and it's just not worth it, it would be a great phone if it worked normally without this kind of issues, you're better buying a redmi or oppo.

        I purchased my POCO M3 on 24th June 2021 via Flipkart and it’s still in genuinely new condition without any scratch.

        Day before yesterday (i.e. on 15th July, 2022) I installed my official MIUI software update and yesterday night (i.e. on 16th July, 2022) it automatically switched off while I was using my WhatsApp on it. I tried Switching it on but it won’t. I charged it and tried again but the result is same dead phone. It’s not even charging with any charger and now it’s not turning back on.

        I couldn’t visit to service center today as it was Sunday. I had registered my complaint on your site also. Still no response. I’ve tweeted about the issue. Bot reply came to chat in DM but you guys won’t respond in that also. I’ve even seen HUNDREDS of complaints regarding this same issue by POCO M3 & X3 users on Twitter of Poco India in this last 2 days. I need a solution for this immediately. The service also denied the repair for it.

            My phone POCO m3 gone switched off, after battery low i tried to power on, keep charging for several hours but phone is dead. Lots of important data is lost. no solution is available. i think this happened after XIOMI update. I heared from several persons even though mobile repair shop is unable to repair. Its not a good sign for XIOMI. They should share the solution of this problematic update.

                        hello pls can someone help me with suggestion on how to get this phone back up. its gone to deadboot twice and i had to leave it for 7 days before powering it on and recently it went off again and its already past 7 days but still not coming up yet.

                        how can one get out of this deadboot stage, is there a later software update that fixes this issue or whats the solution cos having a phone go dead for more than 9 days is fraustrating

This phone has an 8 hour playback..And you still have 20% to spare in the end. This is seriously a great phone, if it turns on lol.

                                  Not a phone for RPG games. Even though it plays it on mid to high settings. Gyro has a bug that has no solution. After 3 days of having it POCO go bai bai. U can't play APEX the way i tell u to im not interested. If ure not bothered about that and the not so decent Camera, its actually good phone for the price. And i did the update without it being bricked.

                                    I've had the phone for less than a year. It has now twice turned off randomly after which it won't turn on at all. The first time it happened I waited for the (pretty big) battery to fully drain and then the phone finally turned on. I can only hope this will work again, but having a phone randomly become unusable for a week is inconvenient.

                                      My phone finally booted up after two weeks of deadboot after the latest update. poco launcher was dead and had to delete and reinstall (setup had to be re done). This phone is still so much fun to use because it lags a lot and it's perfect size compared to the mi 9 se and infinix note 11 pro. I do miss this phone a lot but it only takes one phone call to freeze the phone again lol. I had a transparent frameless case for this phone which made this phone hand friendly. Otherwise it's just awkward to hold.
