Why my Samsung a50 is not turning on?

Galaxy A50 won’t turn on fix 1: Check for bad hardware

One of the most common reasons why electronics or phones fail to power on is bad hardware. Has your Galaxy A50 been dropped or hit by something hard prior to noticing that it won’t turn on? If the answer to that is yes, then you may have a physical malfunction. There’s probably not much that you can do at this point and your phone is probably dead. In a lot of times, any event that damages the hardware and results to the failure of the phone from booting up is serious. There’s no software tweak that can be done to fix a physically damaged part. If there’s severe damage to the motherboard at this time, there are only two options for you: either you have the device repaired or replaced. The same is true if the damage to hardware comes from water or liquid exposure. So, if there’s obvious indication that the device has suffered from hardware malfunction, there’s no need to for you to seek software solutions at all. You must contact Samsung right away so they can check the phone and advise you accordingly.

However, if your Galaxy A80’s No Power issue happens all of a sudden and you are positive that it was not dropped, exposed to elements, or suffered any physical damage (because you know the history of your phone), then there must be a software-related reason for it. In that case, we suggest that you continue with the troubleshooting steps below to figure out where the problem is coming from.

Galaxy A50 won’t turn on fix 2: Top up the battery

Charge your phone. This is the second thing that you want to do in this case. Many Android with this problem usually forget the fact that there phone may have simply run out of juice. To check if that’s the case, all you have to do is to allow the phone to charge for some time. In this guide, we suggest that you let it charge for at least 30 minutes. Make sure that you don’t interrupt the charging session by turning the phone back on. If your device turns on successfully after that, make sure to also recalibrate the Operating System and battery with these steps:

1. Drain the battery completely. This means using your device until it powers down by its own and the battery level reads 0%.
2. Charge the phone until it reaches 100%. Be sure to use original charging equipment for your device and let it charge up completely. Do not unplug your device for at least two more hours and also don’t use it while charging.
3. After the elapsed time, unplug your device.
4. Restart the device.
5. Use your phone until it completely runs out of power again.
6. Repeat steps 1-5.

Galaxy A50 won’t turn on fix 3: Check charging accessories

Should your Galaxy A50 still won’t turn on at this point, it’s a good idea to check if there’s a problem with the charging cable and adapter. You must do this even if there’s no obvious signs of damage to the USB cable and adapter. Try to borrow an original set of Samsung cable and adapter for the Galaxy A50. If that’s not possible, you can visit your local Samsung store and try their own Galaxy A50 cable and adapter.

Galaxy A50 won’t turn on fix 4: Confirm screen is working

Another possible reason why your phone may appear off at this time is a damaged screen. If the the phone still vibrates, makes sound notifications, or shows LED light, then there may be a problem with the screen. This usually happens when a device is dropped and the display is shattered. Basically, what’s happening is that the screen is damaged but the motherboard is still working normally. However, since the screen is the gateway to the system, it needs to be fixed first so you can continue using your device. If the screen won’t come on at all, you’ll need to send the phone in to Samsung so it can be repaired first. If all is well inside, then your phone should work normally after that.

Galaxy A50 won’t turn on fix 5: Check the charging port

One other basic thing that you must do if your Galaxy A50 won’t turn on is to visually inspect the charging port. This is the part where it’s most exposed to dirt, lint, debris, or foreign object that users don’t usually mind at all. If there’s something in the port that blocks the charging cable from making contact with the connectors, charging the phone may be slow or not possible at all. If your A50 has depleted the battery and there’s a problem with the charging port, being unable to charge might be the root cause of the problem.If you think that the charging port is dirty, try cleaning it with a can of compressed air. Do not stick anything inside to avoid damaging the system.

If the port is clear and there’s no visible damage to it at all, then you want to go ahead and proceed to the next troubleshooting step.
