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 also died on July 25th. I wonder if there is a way of retrieving the contacts in it.
Mine died today while playing Pokemon Go. 2 batteries fully charged, no boot up possible. Great.
me too, same issue as others describe
SAAAMMMMEEE! I was looking at Fb and suddenly thing just died. I can’t get past the LG Life is good start up, full battery. What the heck??
My LG G4 died about a week ago, on July the 20th. Mine is just another case to add to a seemingly endless list of deadbooting phones all around the world: I’m from Spain, and my unit had an unlocked bootloader and was running a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix ROM), so I’d dare to say it has nothing to do with any OTA update… Could it be a case of built-in obsolescence (suicide chips weren’t that rare in electronical devices not so long ago)?
Anyway, I’d love to know whether anyone could shed more info into the subject, or raise this issue to the media. It’s been almost a month since the first cases appeared and, as far as I know, this is the only website on the Net which is giving any kind of coverage to the incidents (not even reddit has a thread about them)… How can we raise awareness about this new LG fiasco?
Same problem as everyone. My phone was fully charged at 100% this morning and then it died after viewing an email. Tried taking out battery and restarting…unresponsive. Tried using the charging cable to wall outlet and unresponsive. Found this forum. Could this be coincidental that all of our LG 4 phones just died????
Same problem here.. Three days ago my phone stopped working and wont turn on anymore. I´ve tried everything and asked many different phone help centres. No one knows what the problem is. I don´t want to be 2 weeks without a phone – how is this good customer service?
I used my phone this morning to check mail, FB, then to log into work using the DUO app.. I needed to log into an additional environment at work and looked over and my phone is dead. Huh what?
Ok this sucks! My LG G4 is non-responsive and I am pissed! I plan on sending my phone in for repair but I can’t retrieve any data…why are all the phones breaking at the same time? Has LG system been hacked? whats really going on….
Verizon Wireless user. Mint phone. I’ve had it since January 2016. I’ve kept it in an OtterBox, with the adhesive plastic wrap still on it. I have never had a problem with the phone. It’s never been dropped, or exposed to moisture. Today, while charging, the screen shut off. Zap! Went to turn it on, and nothing happened. Removed the battery. Put it back in, and when I press the power button, it vibrates, turns on with the LG Android power on screen. It sits for about 10 seconds like that, then the screen powers off. However, when I go to start in Recovery Mode, nothing happens. When I plug it in to charge, nothing happens. No vibration, no battery meter screen. Hell, no power to the screen whatsoever. I am shocked at how many people are having this issue, within a month’s time. Everyone’s post on here is within 45 days of one another. I don’t think that’s normal, is it?
