I've got the same problem Saxy.

I'll create a new topic to explain my problem and hope Umi will pro ...

Alright cool, It's a shame because I really liked the phone! But I'm currently contacting the seller for a replacement, but if you're having problems too a refund might not be a bad idea since I don't want to have to deal with this again.

I have the same issue, only got my phone 2 days ago. This is just disappointing.

Simply contact to seller and ask for solution.

\n\nMy story:

Barely before one-year guarantee expired from my UMI 'super', one day, when I removed the phone from the charger, it suddenly went black (and shut down).
Absolutely no effect for any key combinations, charging, etc. Because I had only a few weeks left from guarantee, I decided not to send back the phone to China (from Europe), other reason was, I had some personal materials were in it's memory... In the repair facility, when it was disassembled, I was told, that the charging cable went faulty, it caused short circuit, made the battery charging control IC to burn out, also roasted the fingerprint sensor's hardware. The burnt out IC prevented the phone to switch on, but after replaced (~25 dollar), the phone worked again fine - however, I was advised to leave the died fingerprint, it won't worth to buy new part, since it is around 100 bucks. So if you don't have valid guarantee anymore (but you don't want to change phone ) or you don't want to wait for months arguing with sellers, whether to have a new one or get refund, you might try this way. So far my "refurbished" phone is alright.

You can get fingerprint unit for around $7-9 also I suspecting that battery went caused phone to fail to start but new battery is cost around $7 - 10 max. All this parts you can get from aliexpress.

Press and hold power button for around 10 seconds.
If doesn't help, then probably something happened inside phone like battery disconnected from motherboard etc.
If phone is out the warranty you can open phone (check YouTube teardown video) and check all connectors etc.

I had this problem to. I have a backup phone/One+1 and used that for 2 weeks , left the Umi to rest. And went back for my best driver,turned it on with success.
