When plugging in the power, the red light turns on, and the phone immediately starts vibrating without stopping. Screen remains black.

Same behavior without battery.

What can I try to resolve the issue?

What happened in the end. I am experiencing the same issue now.

@mruser1 and @alexander12 , the phone won't boot with a drained battery (or if the installation got corrupted). One of the things which will still boot is Jumpdrive. Please download https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Ju...one.img.xz, flash it on a microSD card (for example using Balena Etcher) and then insert the microSD card in the top slot and boot/reboot the phone.

From there the phone can be let charged (and the eMMC reflashed if the installation became corrupted) in Jumpdrive.
