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.

Something big is going on… October 23 my LG4 turned off and after following instructions still not back on. So also has an LG4 and his also did the same thing after he got home from work last night( so October 24th very early) what are the chances that the same problem is plaguing LG4 users. this phone has been supper reliable since I got it…. this is so weird…. any possibility it is some update that is doing this?\
My Lg G4 hanged yesterday, ten i pressed and hold the power button and select restart, but its still hanged, then i put out the battery and after that my phone won’t turn on, no response, no display, what can i do now ? please help me, thanks
My LG G4 just died all of a sudden. When I plug it in after taking out the battery it shows a picture of a battery with a question mark on it. Does anybody have this kind of problem? Am I doomed or is it just my battery?
This really sucks so much because I have hundreds of pictures there. 🙁
My LG4 died – I’ve tried all the suggestions on the forums with no luck. I hope I can retrieve pics!
One more victim. Yesterday while watching a video on youtube my LG G4 turned off, then stayed on the home screen, frozen, an turned off again. It just seems to be something programmed (obsolescence programmed), because it can not be coincidence.
LG G4 froze and powered down. Won’t start or boot into safe mode. I can get the LG screen when I’ve let it sit overnight, but battery is down to zero percent and I’m back to the powered down state. Plugged into my PC USB which installed a Qualcomm USB driver.
One year warranty on a two year telecom plan that’s got four months left on it.
My G4 went went dead Monday after only 19 months of use. I received a new phone on Wednesday only to have it never operate because of the same issue. So, Verizon sent me a faulty phone to replace a faulty phone.
Sadly I have to join the club. I was reading a message today on my G4, when the screen went blank, and the device won’t turn on any more. I had it for nearly 2 years with no issues at all.
Was overseas and the phone seized up. Tried to restart and hit with the Bootloop (found out after surfing the net). Out of warranty, so it’s a brick (a $700 brick). Coming from a house that had an LG Fridge, Microwave, Phones, Monitor, etc. We now refuse to buy any more LG products! We had an LG monitor with a pile of dead pixels (2 months old). Had to take it to their “repair centre” (some bodgy electronics guy 50 minutes drive away) and waited 2 months, waiting for it to be “fixed”. It died 1 month after getting it back! Life is “Not Good” with LG products anymore!
Sounds like LG ‘s Life’s not so good a serious problem like a phone a day dropping off ! and i will never go back to any Samsuck for anything ! Hopefully this same die off of my LGg4 h812 is not a big fix as I tried everything including a new battery and zilch , So whats next and who takes ownership ??? LG or Rogers that was the question with Samsuck and Bell neither would own up so up theirs after 3 occurrences and a couple hundred dollars i told the Bell service department to shove that phone , and their services too.
