How to Fix Your LG G4 that won’t Turn on or Boot Up
LG phones are some of the best products on the market – but no company is immune to technical foibles. But, unfortunately, the consumer level, a phone that will not turn on properly boot up is pretty worthless. You may be experiencing this problem if you’re phone does not turn on, or starts and then shuts off.
Luckily, if you are experiencing this problem with your LG G4 phone, there’s a solution – and you can have your phone up and running again a no time. Always remember that if your phone is damaged or the body of the phone is physically broken, the best option is always to make an appointment at the retail location where you purchased your phone, or a retail location for your carrier that sells LG G4’s.
If your LG G4 won’t turn on
simply follow these steps:
- Connect the charger that came with your LG G4 into your phone and an applicable wall socket. Wait several minutes, and then attempt to turn on your phone.
- If that does not work, inspect your phone to make sure neither the charger or your bad report are damaged. Inspect the back of the phone to check for any overheating issues. Make sure that no dirt for other debris is stuck inside the charting port. Do the same once you remove the battery from the back phone. Dirt and debris may find its way under the battery and cause issues with the phone.
- Next, if your phone will still not turn on by itself, attempt a forced restart. Press and hold the power keeper 30 seconds. Once the phone begins to turn on, you can release the power key. Afterwards, always be sure to verify that your phone is running the most recent software. You can do this by checking for software updates from your settings menu. If not, install any and all updates. These are released to ensure your phone’s maximum efficiency.
- If you still experience trouble, you can perform a hardware factory reset via an LG dealer or a carrier retail location that specializes in LG phones. Beware that a hardware factory reset will erase everything on your phone that did not come pre-installed – and the data will be permanently lost.
- make sure device is off (you can simply remove the battery then put it back in)
- press and hold the volume down button and the power key simultaneously for a couple seconds then release, Android System recovery screen should appear
- scroll down by pressing the volume down key to wipe data/factory reset and press power key to select
- scroll down again by pressing volume down key to yes and press the power button
after data is wiped, press the power key to reboot
- master reboot should initiate and your phone should be back to original factory settings
When in doubt, always make an appointment with an LG dealer or a retail location specializing in LG phones. Today, consumers need their phones more than ever. Make sure that your phone is healthy and functional by following these simple steps.

Well I never comment on most issues but yes its very aggravating to say least and having all my contacts for business and cant start it up. It has been going on for ever but I thought it was they battery and the battery would say it was charged but would die in moments. After twenty four hrs LOOSING BUSINESS AND DOLLARS and hrs for some reason my LG 4G decided to ramp up. I thought it was something I down loaded on FB because as soon as I clicked FB it shut down. I went to the computer and my FB was not coming up. So I went directly to on line pull up FB and deleted the post/and weather satellite app. worked for an hr and bam down again. Obviously there is an issue with the LG 4g phones but ATT wont warranty because they tell me the phone has to be up and running. WTH! Its broke and LG has problems. Yep I m in a purchase contract with ATT and no warranty. But they say I can by a new phone hundreds of dollars to cancel exiting contract. I SMELL A SHUNK, SNAKE, AND RAT IN THE SAME BARREL. FIX THIS LG OR YOUR LOOKING A T A MAJOR LAW SUIT. “LG” IT IS YOUR YOUR TURN! FIX YOUR CRAP!
mine turned off today and will not turn back on, literally dead, it wont charge it was on about 70% charge when i was last on it.
Update from my previous post by “Blair May 4, 2017 at 1:39 pm”:
About two weeks ago I’ve called the LG Canada’s support line. I told them about the boot-loop issue I was having with the phone. I was asked for the IMEI number from the mobile phone & to my surprise (considering I had the phone for 16+ months) they said that the phone was covered. I was given pretty vague packing instruction via. e-mail to send the phone to “Futuretel”. It took exactly a week from the time I’ve sent the phone in & when I received it back via. courier.
In short, the phone’s main-board was replaced. After using it for around 5 days the phone is rock solid (so far).
My LG G4 is also about a year old. It died without warning about an hour ago and won’t turn back on. Super strange how this is happening all over.
Mine has died as well, very frustrating!!!
mine too! what the? it is way off that so many people are having issues with this, right now….
Mine has been doing the same thing for the last two weeks. I, also, overslept for work because it shut off on its own in the middle of the night so my alarm didn’t go off. I just take about the battery and it turns back on but I don’t like the fact that it just shuts down on it’s own.
Same here…put phone on charger last night, I’m almost 100% sure my alarm went off this morning, I set it to snooze, next thing I know my daughter comes in the room to wake me up and I notice my phone is off and won’t turn back on, also doesn’t turn red when on any of our chargers. Going to attempt to go to ATT store at lunch
I am also a club member; last night my phone froze mid text. held the power button down hoping to restart it but it died….and I have gotten nothing since. I did try the soft reset, removed the battery, the sim card…nada. I am US Cellular and have never had problems with the phone. I have seen some posts about a bootloop crash, but I wondered about a dead battery – anyone know of indications for that? Just curious – trying to explore some options – thank you.
Mine died after receiving and sending a text was about 50% charged. Just logo screen. took out battery. tried holding power and down released then again got a reset screen twice could not scroll down.
