How to Repair a Dead Android Smartphone?

This can happen due to many reasons like water damage, any kind of shorting, even falling on a hard surface, etc. Therefore, you should know right away, the best thing to do is send your smartphone to a phone repairs centre. But there is also a bit of troubleshooting you could do beforehand.

Smartphones can also be frozen. It happens quite often and is usually due to a faulty app installation, virus or malware, or a different kind of error. Your first step is to try and charge it. Try to charge your smartphone and observe what happens during the next few minutes.

If your battery was completely drained, it might take some time for your phone to display the charging icon. However, if that doesn’t happen, you should try to turn your phone on or off using the standard power button.

Still nothing happening? Use force restart. Forcing your phone to restart means using a combination of buttons like the power button + volume up/down. The exact combination depends on your model, but you can easily Google that.
