Hi.
Must I use the original Xiaomi battery? I bought a cheaper one, but they told me it doesn’t work. Can it be?
No, a replacement battery also works on Mi Max 2.
Unfortunately, after the battery replacement, the phone doesn’t turn on. I charged the phone but it still doesn’t turn on, like the power button doesn’t work. Do you have any suggestions?
