But don’t worry. Your Mi Band isn’t dead. Whether you own the Mi Band 3 or 4, the steps mentioned in this post will fix the charging woes on your Mi Band and switch it on.

How Do I Know If Mi band Is Charging

Before we start the troubleshooting process, you should be aware of how to know if the band is charging or not. If the Mi Band is on, then you will see the charging symbol on your Mi Band as soon as you plug it in.

Now let’s check the solutions to fix Mi Band not charging the first time or charge dead Mi Band.

1. Connect Properly

The main reason behind Mi Bands not charging is because of its incorrect position in the charging cable. To fix that, you need to make sure that the back area properly aligns with the charging cable. The cylindrical area at the back should align with the available space in the charging cable. If there is a space, Mi Band won’t charge.

To avoid this, keep the backside of the Mi Band towards you while inserting it into the charging cable so that you can see its position. Also, push it hard into the charging cable so that it is fixed properly, and the connectors in your cable and Mi Band join together.

2. Keep It Connected for Some Time

If you have a new Mi Band that isn’t switching on or your Mi Band is completely discharged, you need to leave it untouched for some time (10-30 minutes) after it’s plugged in properly. It’s done because the Mi Band is fully discharged. So even if you plug it, you will not see any charging symbol quickly. Letting it charge for some time replenishes the battery.

When that happens, the Mi Band black screen will vanish, and your band will switch on automatically. You will see the charging symbol. Then, charge it fully.

Tip: In case after 30 minutes, the band doesn’t power on, remove from charging. Wait for 10-20 seconds. Then plug it back to charge it.
