Fixing a Samsung Galaxy S23 That Won’t Turn On
Direct Answer
To fix a Samsung Galaxy S23 that won’t turn on, try charging it for at least 30 minutes, then press and hold the Volume down and Power buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds. If it still doesn’t turn on, try booting in safe mode or recovery mode.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Charge your phone**: Plug your Samsung Galaxy S23 into a power source using the original charger and cable. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes to ensure the battery has enough power to turn on.
2. **Force restart**: Press and hold the Volume down and Power buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds. Release the buttons when the Samsung logo appears.
3. **Boot in safe mode**: Press and hold the Power button until your phone starts booting up. As soon as the Samsung logo appears, release the Power button and immediately press and hold the Volume down button. If your phone boots up in safe mode, it means the issue is likely caused by a third-party app.
4. **Boot in recovery mode**: Press and hold the Volume down and Power buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds. Release the buttons when the recovery mode screen appears. Use the Volume down button to navigate to “Wipe cache partition” and select it using the Power button.
5. **Factory reset**: If none of the above steps work, you may need to perform a factory reset. Go to the recovery mode screen, navigate to “Wipe data/factory reset” and select it using the Power button.
