I forgot to charge my Mi band and its battery was depleted for days. So the time I charged it, It's not showing any indicator. It's not charging :O

| Mi Band Pulse not charging |
I tried various solutions I found online to fix my Mi Band but none of them works (see below):
- cleaning the accumulated dirt in the Mi Band's rim so it will fit perfectly in the Charging port - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZU8feEd_ag
- cleaning the Mi Band's charging nodes and charger's nodes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzOZ6ZwD1Rs
- scraping the Mi Band's charging nodes and charger's nodes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXR3yc8WYtI
I attempted to clean the nodes with cotton buds and alcohol.
I'm about to scrap the nodes but I think, It's not needed as looks clean as new. Cleaning it with alcoholed cotton buds is enough.
Make sure you dry the nodes completely before charging or else, charging it while wet might result to further complication.
After doing the trials above, my Mi band is still not charging :(
I think of exciting the electrons inside the battery with heat which will force the battery to run. So I lay it near the exhaust fan of my laptop. I let it absorb the heat in 5 mins. And upon trying to charge it again... It's back charging! The indicator blinks.
Caution: overheating may break your device. Observe and check it by tapping it barely. Take away your Mi Band from the heat if you think it's already overheating.
This solution may work with any brand of Fitness Band with a similar issue. You may try a Hair Dryer instead of the one I did above.
Hope this post helped you.
