Reply to comment by TAbramson15 in 4 month old 13 pro max is completely dead by Forsaken-Ad-7502

I did plug the phone into the wall charger I was just using using on my iPad mini, it’s been on charge for over an hour, still dead. Oh well, I’ll be taking it back in the morning. I just wondered if there was any easy fix. Thanks for answering.

Do you have a computer?? If you have a PC plug it into iTunes and see if it recognizes it, if you have a Mac, see if the Mac recognizes it in the Finder app. If the computer can recognize the device it could possibly be a faulty display problem. If it’s not recognized then probably a motherboard or battery issue. Maybe the battery failed due to the heat of the MagSafe charging. Wireless charging is the worst you can use in terms of battery health and safety as it generates the most heat out of any charging method.

I do have a MacBook. I completely forgot about using it to troubleshoot!! I’ll give it a whirl. 👍🏻

Yes! Try and see if it recognizes it, if so it’s more than likely a display issue. Could be powering on and not showing the display, or a battery issue. Best case scenario it could be a bunk battery and that’s a $70 repair instead of a full replacement claim, or display repair.

MacBook didn’t recognize it, I’m guessing the battery failed. Thanks for the suggestions.

Oof.. sorry bud. I hope it’s an easy and inexpensive fix for ya.. that’s a shame. But gotta remember it happens, millions and millions of units manufactured some are bound to be messed up. No problem bud, good luck.
