How do I turn on my Samsung that won’t turn on?

If your Samsung device won’t turn on, here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Charge the Device:
    • Connect your device to a charger and leave it plugged in for at least 15-30 minutes. Ensure you are using the original charger and cable. Sometimes, the battery may be completely drained.
  2. Force Restart:
    • Try performing a force restart. For most Samsung phones, press and hold the Power button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds until the Samsung logo appears.
  3. Check for Physical Damage:
    • Inspect the device for any signs of physical damage, such as a cracked screen or water damage, which could affect its functionality.
  4. Remove External Accessories:
    • Remove any cases, microSD cards, or SIM cards that might be causing issues.
  5. Boot into Recovery Mode:
    • If the device still won’t turn on, you can try to boot into Recovery Mode:
      • Power off the device (if possible).
      • Press and hold the PowerVolume Up, and Home (or Bixby) buttons simultaneously.
      • Release the buttons when the Samsung logo appears, and you should see the recovery menu.
      • Use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select options (like “Wipe Cache Partition” which won’t delete your files).
  6. Seek Professional Help:
    • If none of the above steps work, there could be a hardware issue. Contact Samsung support or visit a certified repair center for further assistance.

If your device is under warranty, it’s best to contact Samsung directly for support to avoid voiding your warranty.
