Samsung tablet or phone no longer boots up? You can do this!

Your Samsung no longer boots up? And does restarting your Samsung not work? This means two things: your Samsung crashes on startup or your Samsung turns on and immediately turns off. This is a problem that really no one is waiting for! We take our phones everywhere and use them for almost everything. Turning on your Samsung phone can sometimes be a daunting task when you’re dealing with an outage. In this blog, we explain what you can do about a Samsung that won’t boot up. Your Samsung tablet may also fail to boot. We’ll help you with that, too! We address the following points:

• Samsung no longer boots up? Check the power supply.
• Samsung no longer turns on due to water damage
• Possibly your battery is due for replacement
• Samsung black screen
• Hard reset or factory reset

Your Samsung no longer boots up? Check the power supply

Your Samsung cell phone won’t turn on anymore? Or your Samsung tablet won’t boot up? Or your Samsung turns off and on again? Maybe it’s because of the power supply: a faulty charging cable, adapter or outlet. It is good to test different chargers to rule out that it is because of the power supply.

Another common problem is dust in the charging port. Excessive dust can sometimes prevent the charging port (also called the connector) from connecting to the charger. Your Samsung battery is then not charged and therefore your Samsung does not start up. You can remove the dust yourself with a thin object. Want to be sure of your case? If so, we recommend having this done by a specialist. The charging port of Samsung devices is very sensitive.

If the problem persists and your Samsung still won’t boot up, there may have been a glitch. In that case, we recommend stopping by one of our stores for a free MOT. During the MOT, we clean all ports from dust and do a check on all functions. We also clean your appliance extensively to fix any malfunctions.

Samsung no longer turns on due to water damage

If your phone or tablet has come into contact with water, it is important that you take action quickly. First, make sure the tablet or phone is turned off. Then take out the sim or SD card holder as this allows the water to evaporate slightly. Then go to a professional smartphone repair shop as soon as possible. Want to know more about water damage? Then read our blog on water damage repair.

Possibly your battery is due for replacement

Every battery has an end date, this date is partly determined by ourselves. The way you handle your phone or tablet determines how long the battery lasts. A faulty battery could just be the reason your Samsung phone won’t boot or your Samsung tablet won’t boot. To find out if your Samsung won’t start up problem is caused by a faulty battery, we recommend visiting a specialist. At ThePhoneLab, we perform a free diagnosis to determine the cause of your problem. We also personally recommend replacing your battery every two years if you want to be assured of the highest quality battery in your phone or tablet.

Samsung black screen

Does your Samsung not boot up? Does your Samsung get a black screen after a fall? Or for no reason does your Samsung give a black screen? Then it looks like your Samsung doesn’t turn on. There can be several reasons for a defective screen. In most cases you can tell when your screen is broken, but in some cases your LCD or OLED screen is broken. Because this is an internal problem, you usually can’t see it. Most Samsung devices have a status light. This light indicates whether your device needs charging (blue flashing), is charging (red constant) or is fully charged (green constant). Through the status light, you can check whether your Samsung has stopped working at all or if only the screen is defective. Need your screen replaced or want to know what’s wrong? Visit a professional repair shop. At ThePhoneLab, we perform a free diagnosis. One of our specialists will then explain to you what is wrong with the tablet or phone. And if you want, we can also repair your tablet or phone right away! Want to know more about Samsung screens not responding? Then also read the following blog: Samsung screen not responding.

Hard reset or factory reset

If your Samsung still won’t boot up you can try a hard reset. A hard reset causes your tablet or phone to reboot all systems without losing data. But how do you implement that when your phone is unresponsive? Fortunately, Samsung has developed a key combination that allows you to easily reset your device. Knowing how to do this for your samsung phone, read samsung phone reset. We have also created an instruction page for the samsung tablet, read the samsung tablet reset manual here.
