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.

Same thing with LG G4. What is THE REAL REASON?
My phone just turned off by itself and will not come back on. I have a black screen similar to other postings on this site.
alarm went off on phone this morning to wake me up, it was on charger 100% charge. went got ready for work. grabbed phone to leave house and it was off? tried to turn it on and got the LG screen but never booted. now want do anything? add me to the list!
My LG G4 also went dead on 21st July….I was browsing and suddenly it got frozen and switched off. When I tried removing battery and powered up again, just LG logo comes and then nothing…just dead…I was wondering what happened and now I see lot of people experiencing the same issue…..LG please look in to it and provide a fix…!!!
I joind this not so exclusive club. Thanks for all the info, LG is “repairing” my G4. 2 week turnaround is really too long. Very hard to function without my phone for that long. I asked if there was an option for a credit toward a new phone and they said no. Was set on a G5 after doing a lot of research, price was at my sweet spot, guess I’m a sucker for LG products.
Mine died today July 28th. Was looking at the internet and the screen suddenly went blank. I tried connecting the charger and no charging light comes on. I have charged the battery in the lg portable charger unit to no avail. My phone will not switch on at all. Bought from Argos in February for £250 so still under warranty. Going back tomorrow.
Yeah seems like it’s been happening to a lot of people right now, I was just being on Messenger when my LG just froze for 6 seconds and then crashed. When I take the battery out, it vibrates after 5 seconds of holding down the power button but that’s all my G4 is good for now, he isn’t turning on or anything. My biggest concern is not really the replacement though, I just want all the pictures and videos I took on it but if I factory reset or something like that all my memories of holidays and fun times with friends will be deleted..
well looks like im not the only one its happened to, had no problems with the phone at all until this happened
To be more clear, you bake the motherboard. Just Google the process online. But my phone is working perfectly!
After much researched, I decided to try the oven method. Baked it at 385 for 7 minutes on an aluminum plate. Opened the oven door to let it cool for about 30 minutes.
Powered up, and it’s working.
