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.

No ways guys, the LG manufacturer must know something about this issue. My LG G4 died last night and I got the phone about 8 months ago. Its just so suspicious that all our LG phones die at pretty must the same time. I am actually shocked to see how many other people also experienced the same problem. LG must compensate.
I feel a trend here. Mine did the same as everyone else LGG4 won’t start after initial hanging. No fault in consumer, the phone looks new.
these phones are JUNK!! I got a G4 last year for my birthday. It worked for About two days then all of the sudden it would boot up so i had to factory reset it then the same thing happened. So I return the G4 and get a different one thinking it was just a bad phone and that they are not always like this so now it is almost a year later and my phone wont turn on. Im getting sick of LG
I was a fan of LG phones, But it is the third time that my G4 ran into a problem without any reason. This time main board defected and I am unable to use it anymore. I am no more an LG fan. RIP LG.
I reported below that my phone died in June while I am on an extended stay in Cambodia.
Well I found an LG Service Centre in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. They sent the phone to the LG technical centre in Phnom Penh. One week later was told it was the touch screen and it would cost USD105 to repair. I said No and asked for the phone back. It came back in perfect working order and they charged me USD10 – said it was the moisture detector (phone had got wet back in April!). Go figure!!
Our family bought 4 LG G4s.All died within 1 week of each other!! To me this is pretty pathetic. Some people(and I agree) think LG did something intentional so that their phones would not last as long, to encourage sales of new phones,but just didn’t do a good job and phones started to break earlier. Makes sense. How can so many phones die at the same time!!!!??!?!?
PS. I was able to back up my data(only 1 phone) by placing it in a freezer for 20 minutes. Then holding the upper button with a cable connected to my computer. That allowed for the phone to boot and I downloaded almost all the data. A few files failed to download at the end as the phone froze and went to bootloop again.
Shame on LG! Will never buy any of their junk phones again. Aside from that, the touch screen is also an issue on all of our phones as well.
Was watching youtube yesterday, the phone froze and then turned off. I removed and replaced the battery, it started to turn on then froze on the LG screen. Did that a few times and now does not even start.
me to my LG g4 died everal times,.i change the board twice spend 7000 pesos every 2 week.
+1 more phone, mine. Yesterday rturned off by itself and does not start anymore. Are we all fkd by lg?
