Hi all,
Well today, my much loved 5X has died. As I pressed send for a text, the phone rang at the same time from someone else and the screen froze. Now it will not power up and after a lot of research it appears to be none fixable.
I can access the recovery/boot loader options by pressing POWER + VOLUME DOWN but nothing will make it restart. At the bottom of the recovery screen, it states 'Device Status - Locked' or something!
I have called Amazon Prime from where I bought it from and because they sent it from an independent dealer, they will only refund me the cost of the phone (which I got at a cheap price at the time - £220).
Firstly, is my phone repairable without too much cost?
Secondly, if I put this money towards another phone, what would you suggest?
I've have owned Nexus' since Samsung Galaxy Nexus and prefer them to other varieties, I don't have the money to buy a new Pixel but would prefer a phone with a slightly larger display.
Please give me a few experienced options as I don't fancy another LG 5X after hearing reports that a lot are being returned since the Oreo update has killed them too!
Thank you.
