If you have just purchased your device, it may need to be fully charged before it will turn on. Total charging time will vary between devices.
Check for damage.
Verify that the phone, tablet, charger, and USB cable have no physical or liquid damage. If they do, it could be preventing proper charging.
- Check the USB connections for corrosion and bent pins.
- Check your device for liquid damage.
- The USB cable should be secured firmly in the charging port with very little mobility.
Perform a soft reboot.
Press and hold the Power key (or Side key) and Volume down key simultaneously until the device restarts. This can take up to 60 seconds. If the device enters Maintenance Boot Mode instead of restarting, use the Volume up or Down keys to highlight Normal Boot, and then select it by pressing the Side key or Bixby key.
Charge the phone or tablet.
Charge your phone or tablet for at least 1 hour using the charging cable that came with it and an appropriate charger. It can take up to 10 minutes for the charging indicator to appear on screen if the battery is completely drained, or if you've just gotten a new device.
Power on the phone or tablet.
Disconnect the charger, and then attempt to turn on the device by pressing and holding the Power key or Side key for 15-20 seconds.
- If it turns on, it needs to be charged. Turn it off and reconnect it to the factory travel charger until it is fully charged.
If the troubleshooting steps did not help above then this will require service, you have a couple of options based on your warranty.
- If your unit was recently purchased, you can check with your retailer on their return/exchange processes.
- If you have an extended warranty you can reach out to them to have service set up.
- If you're within the one year warranty, you can Private message me or one of our moderators with your full model and serial number to have service setup
- If you're OUT of warranty, you can use this link below to find a service center in your area.
