Power

Device won’t turn on

A device that appears completely dead can have a simple power-path problem, an empty battery, frozen software, or a hardware fault.

Power

Device not charging

Charging problems are easiest to diagnose by isolating the outlet, adapter, cable, port and device one at a time.

Battery

Battery draining too fast

Fast battery drain is usually easier to understand when you first identify when the drain happens and which apps or system features are active.

Display

Black or frozen screen

A dark screen does not always mean the device is off. First separate a power problem from a display or software problem.

Connectivity

Wi‑Fi keeps dropping

Intermittent Wi‑Fi can come from the device, the router, interference, weak signal, software or the internet connection itself.

Storage

Storage is full

Low storage can slow updates, prevent photos from saving and make apps unstable. Free space carefully so important data is not lost.

Software

App keeps crashing

A single app crash is often different from a whole-device stability problem. Isolate the issue before resetting anything.

Safety

Device overheating

Warmth during charging or heavy use can be normal, but persistent excessive heat needs caution.

Connectivity

Bluetooth won’t connect

Bluetooth pairing problems are usually best solved by checking the accessory state and clearing old pairings before deeper resets.

Startup

Stuck on logo or boot loop

A repeating startup screen can follow a failed update, corrupted software, storage pressure, overheating or hardware trouble.

Camera

Camera not working

Camera failures can come from permissions, another app using the camera, storage, software or physical damage.

Audio

Speaker or microphone issue

Audio problems are easier to diagnose when you test playback and recording separately.
