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.

Ok mine died 2 days ago.. no warnings, no issues , nothing!
I think we have a quorum to commence the filing of a class action suit. Who is with me?
No time to waste!
Same here. Phone was fully charged and viewing a photo. Screen went black. Would not restart, does not show charging. Removed battery, SIM, SD, etc. Replaced and nothing. Hard Reset – Nothing, 30 Second Power Long Press – Nothing. Phone committed suicide. Absolutely unacceptable – especially when you’re at the airport trying to show your tickets…
So who’s leading the class action lawsuit?
Mine died 2 days ago. I think it’s quite strange that there are so many others reporting the same within this time frame. I’ll never buy LG again because their phones seem to commit suicide before they are three years old. Going back to the Galaxy Nexus as it still works. Even though it was made in 2011…
Add another one to the list. Mine was working no problem today, had battery life when i walked away. when i came back black screen of death. nothing above worked. Can pay LG’s warranty coverage of $150+tax and shipping, but might as well just get another phone. Will not be buying another LG that’s for sure. I could see if I dropped it or it had water damage or something but nope it’s pristine.
Mine has just died too, won’t even turn on. Warranty up a week ago!!
Yeah so it happened to me last night, I cannot believe how many people had this issue in the last few weeks. I got the phone 2 years ago and never had any problem with it. Now I don’t know what to do.
Wow really people – My G4 suddenly died on me after 2 1/2 yrs. – I think that is a pretty good life for a phone considering how much we all use them!!
Personally I NEVER had one single issue with my phone or LG.
I went and bought a G6 today and as much as I miss my leather back – this phone is awesome.
Don’t get mad just move on and life will be no different.
My LG G4 Verizon die yesterday morning. Same as what everyone below has stated, it just won’t power on. Took it to Verizon store, rep said this was a known issue for LG G4. He urged me to get a new phone and I owe them $150 for my two year contract on the phone. I am so Maaaaad!!!!
my lg g4 just died too, if anyone has information on taking this to lg can they post a forum link?
if ppl are going to war for this i want in, only had my phone just over a year, they wont warranty repair it.
