How To Fix Samsung Galaxy J6+ That Won’t Turn On
When your phone does not turn on the first thing you will need to do is to check if its battery has been fully drained. There have been several instances when phone owners have a hard time turning on their device only to find out that it has ran out of charge. Follow the steps listed below to charge the device.
- Clean the charging port of the phone using a can of compressed air. Make sure that any dirt or debris stuck in this port is removed.

Once the phone has sufficient charge you should try turning on the device. In case the issue still persists then proceed with the additional troubleshooting steps listed below.

Most issues such as this can usually be fixed by doing a soft reset. This is usually the first thing you will have to do when the phone is unresponsive however this will also work in this case as it will refresh the phone software. This is done by pressing and holding on the power button for a few seconds until the device restarts.
Check if the problem occurs in Safe Mode
There are instances when an app you downloaded can cause this particular problem. To check if this is the case you will have to start the phone in Safe Mode as only the pre-installed apps are allowed to run in this mode.
