It might not even be that it's a faulty one. His own case is a case of a bootloop. Care center should have been his last option.

I'm sure that, even if the screen (that they said it's faulty) is change, it'll remain same.

Exactly.

Don't be surprised if the so-called "engineer" just connects the phone to a PC and carry out a formatting exercise then claim he changed the screen.

Happy new year people!

My Xiaomi experience hasn't really been friendly. I joined the MI family in high spirits and hopes, following testimonies from users but I'm already feeling bad.

I bought the MI A3 4GB/64GB variant on 2nd December, 2019. 18 days later (20th December, 2019), I woke up to see my device not displaying any longer. No crack, no scratch, no fall; nothing. My 5am alarm that wakes me up only vibrated, I tried restarting the phone, it started booting with "Android One" displaying and next was a blank screen. It never displayed again.

I took it to their care center same day. I have just been called from the Lagos Office of the Care Center this morning, that I'd need a change of screen. That I should pay 22K for that.

I feel very bad that:
1. I didn't mishandle the device. In fact, I pampered it like it was a newborn baby. Yet, it still developed such fault.

2. The warranty terms doesn't cover such, especially that it's not coming from my end.

3. That after keeping my device for 2 weeks and 3 days, I've just been called to be informed of the development. When I was expecting to get my device any moment from now.

Sincerely, I feel so bitter right now. I never anticipated or expected this kind of experience.

When you go to collect your phone, demand they give you the "spoilt" screen they changed. The people that attended to you have played a fast one on you since it wasn't an hardware problem you had.

Sorry for your experience but next time prompt folks here first if you got issues. Two heads they say are better than one.

It might not even be bootloop since he said a call entered

So many things can make a screen go blank despite being on. For example I recently activated a faulty Substratum theme and upon a system restart my phone blanked out.

As person wey sabi I just entered recovery and wiped Cache and Dalvik grin and everything was back to normal.

But if it is screen change for Mi A3, 22k is damn cheap.

The screen on Aliexpress is around 40k

More reason to suspect their diagnosis

It will be considered but that doesn't mean you'll win it. Give them a video evidence showing clearly the drive when connected and the error message or otherwise. Have you chatted up the seller?

Have you tried with another PC? Both ends ain't working?

I'm currently using the Mi a3 that i Got from BlackArab
And i must it was a smooth and Easy Transaction.. Then back to the Phone.. Seriously i can't see the difference in this 720p and 1080p display talk.. And i must confess the phone is smooth and Fast and it has Good Camera � + Gcam =Superb +Crispy Super Amoled Panel.. I'll be using Android One program for now till i get ready to Flash Custom Rom.. It's a Great Buy tho.. That HD+ and FHD resolution something gave me a tough time... I wish it had Always On Display Feature... But Flashing of Rom will solve that soon.

Yes i have tried with another PC i even thought it was my USB ports that have problem i decided to test with my external hard drive and it was detected by my PC but this Wansenda flash drive was not detected. When i tried it on phone i received a prompt to enable my OTG function which i did but the phone did not detect the drive.

After one week
bro I need help o,here goes my Lamentation.
So the phone(redmi k20),the first day I opened the sealed box after putting sim card the whole screen just turned white and nothing worked until I rebooted the phone,after which sim cards weren't showing anymore. After removing and putting back the sim card for up to 15times b4 it worked. I've been using the phone since no complaint since that day,I just thought it was software issue so all my mind was that I was going to flash new rom or custom rom as soon as I'm able to unlock bootloader. Now fast forward to today,I was bathing and playing music with my phone and little water splashed on the phone(which for other xiaomi phones I've been using is a normal thing),after cleaning it,few minutes later I noticed different deep colors on the phone display,apps had deeper and different colours,can't explain it well.i change colour scheme from cool which I normally use to standard and d colours went back to normal. I didn't use my phone much today because I was busy throughout,so at around 4pm when I had chance to press my phone I noticed one row on the upper part of the screen is not responding to touch at all and that has been the case till now,I've just been confused,as if that was not enough someone hit my hand and the phone fell down on a rug and it turned white again,and started rebooting itself over and over again for close to 1hr or even more than till it finally stopped. Now I'm using the phone with the first touch screen problem and I don't know what to do. I've confirmed the order already on AliExpress. Please I need advice,can I still return it,if yes how do I even go about that and given its DHL that I shipped it with
