Samsung Smartphone Won’T Turn On

How to turn on Samsung without the power button?

There are several options for solving this problem, here are the most effective ones:

1. We put the smartphone on charge. Many models of Samsung phones and other manufacturers turn on when connected to a charger. The first thing you can do in this case is to put the device on charge and try to hold down the volume key.

2. If the first method does not work, try holding the volume button to the “-” position, the “home” button and, while holding these two buttons pressed, connect the power cable (do not release the buttons all the time!). After a few seconds (about 5-7) a warning menu should appear on the screen.

The buttons must be released immediately, and after that press and hold the volume button a little to the “-” position. After 5-10 seconds, the device should start loading.

3. The third method gives the result in almost 100% of cases, if the button does not work on the Samsung Galaxy. It involves manipulating the battery of a smartphone and requires some manual dexterity.

You need to remove the back cover from the device, insert the power cable. When the second battery indicator appears, you must abruptly disconnect the power cable and also abruptly remove and insert the battery. The phone will start to reboot.

How to turn on or restart Samsung if the button doesn’t work

Even the most expensive smartphone is not immune to breakdowns. During operation, the device may fall to the floor, suffer from exposure to water, and receive other mechanical damage.

As a result, individual controls may fail.

Practice shows that one of the most vulnerable points of a Samsung smartphone is the power button (on / off).

If the main button of the phone breaks down or stops responding to pressing, only the master will help to correct the situation. However, you can use your smartphone for a while with the power button inoperative.

Turn on Samsung with a disabled button

Turn on Samsung without a button using the Mobile Uncle application

It is not very convenient to turn on a Samsung phone without a power button every time using all of the above-mentioned intricate methods, therefore, after a successful launch, we recommend installing a special application Mobile uncle tools 2017 (Mobile Uncle) on your smartphone.

With this universal multi-tool, you can do almost anything with your Android device by completely changing the settings and functionality of the working buttons.

There is another application. Power button to Volume Button (available for free in the Play Store). It is designed specifically for such a case. It can be used to shift the function of the power button to the speaker volume keys.

There are only two active items in the application menu: Boot and Screen Off. It is enough to put a tick next to the “Boot” item and the smartphone will turn on using the volume rocker.

As an additional option, we recommend considering the Shake Screen On Off application. It allows you to turn on / off the screen by lightly shaking the device if the power button does not work.

The Android phone does not turn on. 5 ways to solve the problem.

Method number 3

If the phone does not turn on, then it may simply be frozen. To revive your device, we will apply a long-known, but still relevant method. Take out the battery and insert it again.

Unfortunately, this trick does not work on many modern phones with a non-removable battery. In this case, to reboot, you need to find the reset button and press it with a paper clip, for example. It can be anywhere, but it is usually located near the SIM card slot or on the back of a smartphone or tablet. There is sometimes an inscription reset or off near the reset button. The photo below shows an example of the location of such a button in a Sony Xperia M5 smartphone.

Method number 2

Defective charging. Of course, the second thing to check is the health of the charger. Everything is simple here. We take a working charger and try to charge our smartphone. If the process has started, then we buy a new one and rejoice. Although it sounds trite, it helps one in five.

Method number 4

This method is applicable if your phone does not really turn on, but does not turn on completely. For example, it hangs on your Android logo and nothing else happens. This happens due to a malfunction in the smartphone software. Then a hard reset will help us or, in translation, a hard reset. For each model of the device, it is made in different ways. In order to find out how, enter the name of your phone and the words hard reset, for example LG G3 hard reset, in Google or Yandex and follow the instructions. In the future, I hope to create a separate section on the blog on this topic.

Unfortunately, not all smartphones support hard reset, it depends on the recovery installed in the device. If you are interested to know in more detail what it is, look on the Internet.

For example, there is no such function by default, in many sony phones, but the manufacturer has provided the ability to restore the software using a special utility Sony pc companion.

The Android smartphone does not turn on. Guaranteed problem solution.

Hello. Today I would like to analyze all the most common reasons why an Android smartphone may not turn on. I will not touch upon those situations when disassembling the phone and interfering with the electronic filling is required, since this is the work of completely different specialists.

If your smartphone or tablet suddenly stops turning on, it is not necessary to immediately run to a service center or workshop and return it for repair. Most likely, there is a chance that you can do it yourself and save some amount (programs for home accounting on Android will also help you in saving, look for them on the blog). Below we will look at the main measures that can be taken if your Android smartphone or tablet does not turn on. And so let’s get started.

Method number 1

From my own experience, I will say that in 80% of all cases, if they come to me with a problem that the phone does not turn on, the whole thing turns out to be in a discharged battery. And I perfectly understand when they tell me that they have been charging the smartphone all day, but it still does not turn on. Some devices have one unpleasant feature. If the battery is very badly discharged, it will not charge, even if you keep it on charge all day.

In this case, a frog-type charger will help us, which allows you to charge almost any battery directly by removing it from the phone. It is enough to recharge the battery in this way for 15 minutes. Then insert it back and put the phone on charge as usual, everything should be OK.

If getting a frog is problematic for you, then you can use any old mobile phone charger. Cut off the old plug and protect the wires.

Make sure that the charger is not plugged into an outlet at this time.

We fix the bare wires on the battery with tape for a few minutes.

Reasons why an Android smartphone or tablet won’t turn on or charge

There are several reasons why the device does not take charge and does not turn on.

  1. Fully discharged battery. This happens when the tablet has been lying for many days with a discharged battery. Due to self-discharge, the voltage in the battery has dropped so much that standard “charging” is useless. Overdischarge of the battery leads to the fact that attempts to charge it with regular “charging” do not lead to anything. The gadget does not show signs of life. In the service center, they open the case or remove the outer cover of the battery (from the end where its own controller is located) and supply the required voltage “bypassing” a special power supply unit. You can use a “smart” charger that “trains” the battery according to a different recharging algorithm, without opening the battery itself. For example, Cadex battery analyzers. If the capacity of the battery has decreased significantly. Less than 70%. A specialist trains it (full charge-discharge cycles). If the battery training still does not give any result, the battery can be replaced with the same one. Then everything is assembled back and the battery is charged from a standard charger.
  2. Defective charger. Any detail can fail in it. This happens less often than wire breaks. Anyone who does not want to repair the “charging” himself, buys a new one. Eliminate counterfeits, use the original branded “charger” from the manufacturer of your device, or charge your gadget from the USB port of a computer, TV, car “cigarette lighter” or USB-Hub.
  3. Breakdown of smartphone or tablet equipment. Hardware glitches and device breakdowns, such as a broken screen. Take your device to a service center for diagnostics. This will resolve the issue of the cost of repairing your gadget.

Smartphone / tablet won’t turn on after Android firmware or update

The flashing process, despite its apparent simplicity, requires care and careful approach. The reasons why a smartphone or tablet does not start after flashing or updating the Android operating system are as follows:

  • The firmware version is incompatible with this unit. Start impossible. Install a previously working version of Android (or similar);
  • During the firmware, a disconnection from the PC occurred, due to which the download of Android system files to the tablet was interrupted. Start this process again;
  • Updates released for this version of Android turned out to be incompatible with the device. Reinstall the previous version of Android, then disable system updates in its general settings.

Turn off auto-update system, as well as a reminder for updates

Replace the defective battery with another one of the same

Unreliable contact of the battery with the power terminals in the device

It happens that the terminals are worn out from the frequent “twitching” of the battery. This can be seen immediately. Bend the terminals slightly outward so they fit snugly against the battery terminals. The battery terminals may be dirty, dirty. Clean them with any solvent (alcohol, cologne, acetone, etc.).

“Failed” terminals must be bent or replaced

Check your charger.

If your smartphone is discharged and it does not turn on anymore, can it be charging? Try charging your device using a computer. If the phone shows no signs of life within half an hour, the problem is not with the charger. If the phone seems to be charging, but cannot charge. Check the charger on another phone. It may well need to be replaced with a new one.

Phone does not turn on after flashing.

One of the most common reasons a phone might not turn on is due to an incorrectly installed firmware or update. After flashing or updating, the phone does not turn on due to incorrect installation of files. In this case, you will need to flash your phone. For example, if your Samsung phone does not turn on, then you need to download the firmware from the official Samsung website and the Odin flashing program. With this program you can flash your phone. You will delete all settings and files on the internal memory, but there is a chance that the phone will turn on.

If the Lenovo phone does not turn on, then in this case you will need to enter Recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the power key and volume up. In the Recovery menu, you will need to select the wipe data / factory reset menu item, and then Yes. Delete all user data. Unfortunately, for different phones you can enter the Recovery menu in different ways. If you are sure that you installed an official firmware or an official update, then contact the manufacturer’s authorized service center, they will restore the firmware.

But we recommend that you try Hard Reset by resetting your phone to factory settings. It often helps if the phone won’t turn on. Below we have selected key combinations for popular phones.

Samsung phone does not turn on: simultaneously hold down the volume rocker up, the center menu button and the power button.

LG phone does not turn on: simultaneously hold down the power button and the volume rocker down, then select wipe data / factory reset.

Smartphone does not turn on after full discharge.

This problem is seen in some modern smartphones. In particular, Sony phones. Some Sony phones had such a feature that they could not be turned on after a full discharge if the phone was in this state for a long time. One thing helps. Long battery charging with a current of 2A. And this is almost all chargers.

In any case, as I wrote above, it is necessary to put the smartphone on charge for several hours. Usually the problem goes away on its own. You can try a charger with a higher amperage, for example, 1.5 or 2 amperes.

Also try to hard-reset your smartphone.

What to do if water gets into the smartphone

Falling into water may be one of the reasons. What to do if the phone falls into the water? First, remove the battery, you need to do this as quickly as possible, then dry your smartphone with a hairdryer. Control the air, it should not be hot, otherwise the touch glass and some other components will simply begin to peel off. Then, without inserting the battery into the smartphone, put it in a warm place. It is worth noting that you have not many chances of salvation, and perhaps you will not do without losses. In particular, the buttons on the device may stop working. If you dry your smartphone, but it does not turn on, it needs repair at a service center. The worst thing that can be is the replacement of the motherboard, which, by the way, costs like the smartphone itself.

Problems due to which the phone does not turn on can be either software, for example, a problem with the firmware due to an unsuccessful update, or hardware, for example, due to a failed battery.

Below we’ve tried to put together a lot of tips to help you figure out why your phone won’t turn on. If none of the tips helped you. Please describe your problem in the comments.

The phone does not turn on after being dropped. Mechanical damage.

Smartphone makers like to say that their phones cannot be scratched, drowned or smashed. Manufacturers give their phones Gorilla Glass screen protectors, IP67 water resistance, shockproof casing and so on. Despite all the phone protection measures taken by the companies, it often happens that the phone won’t turn on after being dropped. For example, on asphalt or falling into water. Unfortunately, all that can be done at home after a fall is to see if the battery, power cable or display cable has come off, in case there is a sound and vibration signal.

Doing something more with a dropped phone at home is unlikely to work. To do this, you need to check the voltage on the battery and on the system board. If the phone falls and does not turn on, and there are no necessary tools at home, then you will have to take the phone to a service center.

Other solutions

When the phone constantly restarts, turns off or turns on by itself. This indicates first of all that there is a software failure. Also, the reasons can be hidden in mechanical damage after a fall or shock. In these cases, you can go to the master to determine the breakdown.

But often the reason why a smartphone or tablet turns on and off immediately can be a trifle and it is possible to fix the problem yourself by flashing the device or resetting to factory settings.

Charging or battery problems

Most of the mobiles found to be out of order were exposed to water. The oxidation process takes a very long time and it is impossible to predict how the device will behave another time. There are several ways to dry: hair dryer, leave on a battery overnight, or move to a warm place.

System crash

The phone may turn off even when fully charged. The reason may be a failure in the OS of the device, most often due to incorrect firmware. It is required to repeat the firmware procedure or contact the service. If the problem persists, it’s time to update. The device may be defective by itself.

Software errors

The spontaneous switching on and off of the phone or tablet is also affected by software failures and violations.

The problem may be:

  • Installation of incompatible software. Reset and reboot will help;
  • Parallel loading of several applications;
  • Software malfunctions. Flashing the gadget can help.

Low battery

This can happen at any time, even when the charge is full, and maybe at 40 percent, 15 or even 5. If the phone turns off at 5/15/25 percent of the charge, you need to do a full reset and clean the device. Then the battery should be recalibrated. If the situation has not changed within 2 days, you should contact the master.

Viruses

When the phone or tablet turns off on its own with a charged battery, it’s time to check the device with an antivirus. It is viruses that cause the majority of smartphone malfunctions. Antivirus software should be used to prevent device infection.
