OnPlus users are reporting dead motherboards for older OnePlus flagship models including the OnePlus 10 Pro and OnePlus 9 Pro.

What’s worse is how some users have been reporting the lack of help from service centres.

In a latest Gizmochina report, two recent cases raise concerns about the severity of the issue.

Although specific user names have not been revealed, these cases have been specifically highlighted –

Case 1 – One OnePlus 10 Pro user described the issue with their phone. The device at first experienced lag and overheating issues. However, it completely shut down later on. According to the user, they tried everything from hard resets and other troubleshooting methods, but the phone was unresponsive. The service centre declared a dead motherboard and quoted high repair costs. This particular user is a long-time loyal OnePlus customer. They expressed disappointment and a loss of faith in the brand.

Case 2 – A second user reported that their OnePlus 10 Pro 5G froze and stopped charging after a software update. The service centre again in this case declared a dead motherboard and quoted around Rs 42,000 as a repair fee.
