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.

Wow is this odd all of us lg g4 won’t turn on. I’m in the same boat. Maybe we all need to contact lg
Happy 4th of July …..not my LG4 is dead. Tried EVERYTHING it will boot up on it’s own, then shuts down again. I don’t want to loose all my pics. Very frustrated.
As someone suggested earlier I went to http://www.lg.com/common then to mobile support and then live chat. I gave them my model number and IMEI Number. They said I was still under warranty. They are sending me a shipping label so they can repair my phone. Problem is it will take around two weeks. It’s my only phone.
I thought I was alone in this boat. It was, for me, an administrative mess-up. Although I have so much on my LG-G4, the worst was that I used my phone’s voice recorder to take down minutes of a meeting. And at the point of transcribing, the phone just rebelled and shutoff. I have tried all tricks I know, it failed. Now I have put it in the fridge as someone suggested. It is true, I did that, in my desperation. If it fails to work, Ill let you know the name of the undertaker.
Add me to the list my phone died today while I was updating everyone on status of heart patient. I don’t have their numbers memorized, this is awful. Is there any remedy. My phone is LGG4. My 2nd one. The first died because I dropped it In The toilet but this one has worked fine until now. Totally blacked out and will not come back on.
Can’t believe it….my LG G4 won’t stay on. It turns on when i take the battery out but only stays on for a few seconds. Very stressed…..we should all be compensated if it means a recall on this model!
I’ve had the phone for 17-18 months, mine just doesnt want to turn on, first saw it on the loop
My phone died while I was on a holiday In Montreal July 1st. Had all my intinerary on phone so it left me stranded leaving everything to memory and other family members in group. I have tried the trouble shooting above and still nothing. What should I do? And is there anything I can do?
What is going on? My phone died as well and will not reboot . I can see that this has happened to several people any answers?????
My LG4 failed tonight while using skype. No heat issues, tried redundant chargers and additional batteries. Worked perfectly until tonight, and I’m unable to bring it out of full dark screen. Sure hope Verizon honors their warranty. This sounds like some sort of shutoff command initiated from an external source.
