Samsung Galaxy S4 won't turn on? What to do

While there are many reasons why your Samsung Galaxy S4 won't turn on, its best you try out a couple troubleshooting to come at a final conclusion on what the problem is.

So, here's exactly what you should do to fix Samsung Galaxy S4 won't turn on issue

• After What Happened, Do You Still Trust Samsung Smartphones

1. Perform Soft Reset on Galaxy S4

When your Samsung Galaxy S4 won't turn on even after holding the power button, the first step to fixing this to perform a soft reset.

To perform a soft reset, just take off the back cover of your Galaxy S4 and remove the battery. Now press and hold the power button in order to drain off the little electric current that is stored in the internal component.

Do that for about a minute and then put the battery back in and try to turn on your Galaxy S4.

This particular step is a very effective troubleshooting method. Whenever your phone turns off and refuses to turn on for no just reason, try this.

You shouldn't worry about your files, apps, contacts and data because nothing will happen to them.

2. Plug in the charger and leave to charge for a while

Now if your Samsung Galaxy S4 won't turn on or respond after performing the soft reset, then there could be chances that your battery is drained out and there is no juice left to boot up your phone.

What you should do in this case is to plug in the charger to the socket and the connector to the phone.

I'll advise you charge your Galaxy S4 with an original Samsung charger, but in the case you don't have one, make use of a good charger.

If charging, the phone should show the normal charging icon or the LED notification light but if not, just leave the charger plugged in for at least 10 to 15 minutes.

You could set an Alarm for that.

Once it's more than ten minutes of charging, place your hand at the back of the phone to check if the phone is hot. If you notice any sign of heating, it could be sign of a battery or USB charging port problem. To fix this, you should consider taking the phone to a technician.

3. Boot the Samsung Galaxy S4 in Safe Mode

You probably know that booting a device in safe mode temporary disable all third-party apps installed (though that's not our aim). If your Galaxy S4 won't turn on, you should check if it perfectly boots up in "other" modes. This will eliminate the possibility that it is a hardware or battery issue.

Now here's how to boot the Galaxy S4 to Safe mode;

Step 1: Press and hold down the power button

Step 2: If the phone responds to the power button, you should see the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo appear on the screen. Once you see the logo, you can let go of the power button.

Step 3: Immediately you let go of your power button, press and hold down the "Volume  Down button"

Step 4: Now continue holding the volume down button until the phone reboot process is complete.

Step 5: This is the final step, once you see 'Safe Mode' displaying at the bottom left corner of the screen, release the volume down button. But if nothing comes up, retry the process until you get the phone to boot up in the safe mode.

Now if you have done all these and still, your Samsung Galaxy S4 won't turn on, then you may want to try out the next fix.
