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.

Mine too….tried a couple of suggestions from the internet and got to the safe mode but then failed again. Now it won’t even get to the boot loop and not sure if it is taking any charge. Had the phone for 16 months, not too worried about the phone itself, the most important thing for me is my data….hadn’t backed up for a while and have probably lost all recent pictures and work stuff. Had LG phones for many years and this is the first time I’ve ever had a problem.
Need some help please…..

My LG phone died today it turns on but that is it. Won’t turn off unless I take the battery out. Only have had it 6 months battery has a 100% charge. By looking at all the post we all have same problem. I bought the extended warranty but I want a new phone.
My LG G4 died today, seems like a true pathology with the phone – over 300 complaints on this board alone. Class action suit anyone?
LG: I doubt that you’re reading this, but if you are – do something about it. Don’t pull a Samsung on us, it will not go well for you.
Had my LG4 for 22 months…worked great until today when it froze. The LG screen is displayed and I can’t turn it off, short of removing the battery. I leave the battery out for about 30 minutes, then reinstall — the LG screen comes back on, but that’s where it stays. All this right after an automatic system update.
June 12/17 my year and a half old LG G4 just stopped working. Took it off the charger and next thing I know it turns itself off and won’t charge or boot. Frustrating!
