To use an Android phone and all its functions, you need to first turn on the device. If the power button on the device is broken or the battery is not working, the best option you can try is to fix it. However, there are several troubleshooting methods you can try to get your device back on.

Step 1. Locate the power button
The power button is usually a single button on the top or right side of the phone.
Step 2. Press and hold the power button
Step 3. Wait for the phone to turn on
If the security code is activated, you will need to enter it before you can access your phone
Method 2 of 3: Loading Phone from Recovery Mode

You can display the boot menu by holding down both volume keys or a combination of the volume and “Home” keys. Usually this button is on the left side of the device.
Step 2. Press and hold the required buttons simultaneously
- You may need to press and hold the volume and “Home” buttons on the device.

Step 3. Use volume keys to move on the menu
Loading menus on various devices usually show how to reload the phone using the volume and power buttons as control buttons.
For example, on a Samsung Galaxy device you can use the volume up and down buttons to move from one menu option to another, and press the power button to select options
Step 4. Use the power or “Home” button to select the reload or reboot option
The selector or “Select” button differs from device to device. Check the instructions at the top of the recovery mode menu page for the key to use
Method 3 of 3: Replacing the Battery
Step 1. Remove the back cover of the phone
- Make sure you follow safe battery handling techniques. Do not wet battery, do not pressing or striking the battery too hard, and do not expose it to a heat source.
- Improper handling or handling of the lithium ion battery may result in an increase in temperature, explosion, or unit fire.
Step 2. Remove the old battery
If you suspect that the device battery is causing the problem with your phone, try replacing the old battery with a spare/new battery.
Step 3. Install a new battery
Step 4. Replace the back cover of the phone
Step 5. Dispose of the old battery properly
Lithium ion batteries can pose a hazard to health and the environment.

Step 6. Contact your cellular service provider or an authorized cell phone repair center if all the steps taken don't work
Technicians can provide advice regarding unit replacement or repair.
