I had an unexpected situation last night. Suddenly my first Trezor, which I bought back in 2015, stopped working. When I tried to connect it to the USB connector, the screen started flashing and he stopped responding to button presses. I checked it after a couple of hours but everything is still - the screen is blinking and it doesn't work anymore.

To make matters worse, I used it as a second factor to access my gmail. In this regard, I had a question - if I buy a new Trezor and restore it using a seed-phrase, will the function allowing it to be used as a key for two-factor authentication also be restored? Or not ? Has anyone encountered such a situation? If so, please give an answer to this question. It is very important for me to know if I have a chance to recover it exactly as a two-factor authentication key.

Perhaps not everything is as sad as it seems.

About six months ago I had a similar situation - when connected to a laptop, the screen blinked and it did not react at all to button presses. At first I was also very upset because I thought it was the end. But then I decided to try to replace the wire that connects the Trezor and the laptop, and what my surprise was when I connected the wire from my second Trezor and voila - it worked again as if nothing had happened. In my case, it was just that.

You also can try to do it. Chances are slim, but why not give it a try. Maybe it's not about the breakdown of its inner part.
