How To Fix The LG Q7 Won’t Turn On Issue

One of the major issues that can occur on your phone is when it does not turn on no matter what you do. This can be a frustrating experience especially if you have important data stored in the device which you will need. Most of the time this can be caused by a faulty hardware component which needs to be fixed at a service center. There are however instances when the issue can be fixed on your end. Before sending your phone to a service center and having it repaired make sure to have performed the troubleshooting steps listed below which are recommended for this particular problem.

Charge the phone

The first thing you will want to do is to  make sure that the problem is not caused by a drained battery. This factor is what we will be eliminating first by following the steps listed below.

• 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.
• Fully charge the phone using its wall charger.
• In case the phone does not charge then try using a different charging cord and wall charger. You should also try charging the phone from a computer USB port in case charging using the wall charger fails to work.

Once the battery has been fully charged try turning on the phone. If it still does not turn on then proceed with the additional troubleshooting steps listed below.

There are cases when this data which is stored in the dedicated partition of the phone can become corrupted. When this happens this will usually cause certain issues to occur on the phone.
