I have a Pixel 3 that decided to randomly shut off and not turn on anymore. An Android update applied today, all was fine. Battery wasn't low. It warms up when charging, but no other signs of life, nothing on the screen when charging, no status lights, no haptic feedback. I tried holding power for 30+ seconds and nothing happens. I charged it for hours and still nothing.
If I plug it in to my PC it appears in device manager as a Qualcomm com device. I installed the Qualcomm flash utility and I can see the device but that is it. I can't get it to boot to recovery or anything as it simply does not power on in any way. I can't get ADB to recognize it connected and can't boot it to get it into developer mode.
It is in great shape, is treated gently, not sure what went wrong. My wife uses it often for gaming and uses it while charging frequently, maybe it was just too much.
I think I am just screwed, but maybe an image exists that is compatible with the Qualcomm flash utility? I haven't been able to find one, and the image supplied by Google doesn't look to be the right format.
