I've got a Google Pixel 1 here (Not mine) that keeps turning itself on, reaches the Google logo then turns off, and repeats until the battery dies. Holding just the volume down button opens the boot menu which leads me to think the button is stuck down electronically (mechanically it feels fine).
ADB on a laptop doesn't seem to detect anything with the command "adb devices" does this if you hold the volume button till it comes on, so ADB must be working and I suspect the phone is fine but the button is broken internally.
Has anyone had any experience of this? Would it be possible to disable the power button using ADB? I know you can remap buttons with an app but I've only ever seen that on a working phone.
The other alternative is open it up and replace the button, it's available and cheap but iFixit rate opening the phone up as "Difficult" and I've never done it before. I suppose I've got nothing to lose by trying it, might just end up more broken.
It was bought at refurbished around Christmas but apparently has no warranty.
It gets bloody hot in this reboot cycle too!
