For a long time Xiaomi phone It can delight you with uninterrupted operation, and then suddenly stop turning on. It is difficult to describe the emotions that arise in a user when he picks up a smartphone and it no longer shows signs of life. In such a situation, the first thing that comes to mind is: why did the gadget turn itself off and why won’t it turn on?

Yes, it’s a difficult situation, but there’s no need to panic. You need to first find out why this problem arose. Once you understand the cause of the problem, you can familiarize yourself with methods to solve it. And in today’s article we will help you figure out what to do if Xiaomi does not turn on. We will talk about the reasons that most often lead to the device refusing to turn on. Perhaps some of the above applies to your device.

Xiaomi produces high-quality products, but it is not immune to various malfunctions. After all, no technique is perfect. From the owners Xiaomi Redmi 4, for example, sometimes there are complaints that it does not turn on for unknown reasons. But other models, for example, Xiaomi Redmi Pro and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, can also upset the user. When such a problem occurs with your device, the first thing you need to do is find out whether warranty service is still available. If there is a warranty, you can easily resolve the issue with a specialist at an official service center. If the device does not turn on on the same day it was purchased, this may be a sign of a defect. In this case, you must definitely demand that the smartphone be replaced with a working one.

However, our citizens like to save a lot, fortunately today there is such an opportunity. This could be purchasing a gadget from Chinese online stores, from resellers, or a second-hand phone. Despite the noticeable advantages in the form of a low price, this method is quite risky, since the product does not have a warranty. A smartphone purchased from an official representative may also simply be under warranty. In this situation, you cannot count on free repairs if Xiaomi does not turn on. Therefore, you will have to delve into your device yourself to find out the cause of the problem in order to fix it. But it will not be easy for non-specialists to do this, but it is possible to conduct an analysis for the presence of problems that occur most often. The list of problems and ways to resolve them below is relevant for all Xiaomi models, since in software terms they are identical:

1. Phone died before turning off. It often happens that the red indicator of a Xiaomi smartphone blinks and does not turn on itself. This may indicate complete discharge battery For this reason, the device may not have enough remaining power to start the system, making pressing the power key pointless. The issue is often resolved by putting the phone on charge for about 1 hour, after which you can start it up again by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. If the device is charged but does not want to turn on, take a closer look at the cable. It may be damaged, try a different cord. Or, just for fun, connect the old cable to another smartphone to see what the problem is. It happens that the USB connector in the device fails, so no power is supplied.
2. System hangs. The second problem is software glitch, which entails turning off the mobile device, it can also prevent it from turning on. If you have an old one Xiaomi model with removable back cover, you need to remove the battery and then install it again. This performs a deep reboot of the smartphone. In gadgets in which the battery cannot be reached, for example in Xiaomi Redmi 5, to do this you need to hold down the power button for 10 seconds. After completing these steps, you can hope that the phone will still start.
3. Malfunction of the power button and other hardware problems. Sometimes the cause may be mechanical damage due to the device falling or a possible manufacturing defect. Your own efforts are unlikely to help here; you will have to contact the service center. If Xiaomi turns off and does not turn on, the problem may also lie in a faulty power controller, due to which the gadget cannot gain energy to turn on; you can recognize the problem in this area by connecting a charged battery to the device.
4. Firmware failure. Sometimes users encounter such a problem as their smartphone not loading completely. That is, the phone turns on, which is confirmed by the screen lighting up, but things don’t go any further. In this case, there is a high probability of problems with the firmware. Most likely you will have to reinstall software apparatus. This can be done using the Mi Flash application, which is suitable for all the company’s gadgets, including the Xiaomi Redmi line.

However, it is not a fact that your device will have one of the above problems. Other reasons may also cause the inability to turn on:

• a sharp change in temperature in the environment;
• The battery is faulty, you need to buy a new one.

When the root of the problem becomes known, it will be immediately clear whether you should carry out the repair yourself or go to a service center. You cannot do without a specialist in case of serious damage, such as mechanical damage after a fall and water leaking inside the case. Short-term disruptions may also occur as a result of individual applications not operating correctly. And that's all software problems are treated in two common ways, and we will consider them.

Reset your device to factory settings

This method is not applicable when the Xiaomi phone does not turn on and does not show any signs of life at all. So-called Hard Reset works if the device is turned off periodically or at least booted into Recovery mode. The problem can be solved in this way, but there is a significant drawback - complete removal all information from the device, including the contact list. Before proceeding with a factory reset, please use backup data, remove the memory card from the slot.

Follow this procedure:

1. hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time until the Mi logo appears;
2. Now we hold down only the volume key;
3. after entering the recovery we look for English language;
4. We look for the Hard Reset designation, click on it, confirming our intentions.

When should you contact a specialist?

A serious malfunction will in any case require contacting a service center. Users who are not familiar with the inside of the device are not recommended to carry out repairs themselves, so as not to worsen the condition of the smartphone. If Xiaomi does not turn on, it is wiser to trust the technician, even if there are certain financial costs. Almost all you can do is change the firmware, reboot and reset the settings to factory settings. A signal to go to a specialist will be the following signs: the phone completely turns off even without the ability to enter recovery, the red light blinks when it’s off, the system freezes when loading the Mi logo, as well as obvious mechanical damage.

And for such a well-promoted brand as Xiaomi, there are often cases when a smartphone does not turn on. Even despite the undoubted quality that distinguishes everything that is produced under the MI logo. The situation is very unpleasant, especially for an inexperienced user. But the devil is not as terrible as he is painted. You just need to not panic and try to understand what happened to the phone.

We will not completely relieve the owner of responsibility, but in real life it happens like this.

The lion's share of Xiaomi batteries are made non-removable. This means that the favorite trick of millions of smartphone users will not work. You cannot unfasten the battery and try to replace or check it. Because the first thought that comes to mind if the phone does not turn on is something with the power supply.

And you are right, you are absolutely right! Often the battery level drops so low that even connecting a charger cannot help. This happens in cases when the delivery of the device is delayed for months and a completely discharged device arrives to you, with no signs of life. True, today such nonsense is becoming less and less.

To get out of this situation, you need to push the battery by connecting it to charge for a long time. After about an hour or two, try turning it on by long pressing the power button. Hold your finger on the button for 10 seconds, if this does not help, then you can try loading the device into fastboot or recovery mode. The logic is simple. There may not be enough charge to start the phone, but there is enough to turn on at least something. Press the volume rocker plus or minus together with the power button and wait. If you managed to enter the fastboot, long press to turn off the phone and calm down. You just need to charge the battery.

But even on this path you will encounter troubles, small and not so small. You should check the usb cable for functionality, preferably on another device. Further, Charger must produce the rated voltage and charging current corresponding to those indicated on the case. The test is identical, I took the cable and charger and charged the tablet. If it works, the questions are removed.

Sometimes, very rarely, but it is possible that the battery cable does not contact the connector on motherboard. Some write that this happens due to shaking. How should you shake a Xiaomi smartphone so that its internal cable falls off?! These are written by those who have never opened their phone. I don't recommend doing this. During all the time I was “communicating” with the phones of this company, I had to see inept traces of “hacking” of the smartphone case; it was literally torn into pieces, not understanding how to get inside. Restoration will cost more. Let the master check your suspicion in five minutes. And he will give a verdict.

It’s even more worth going this way if the USB connector is at fault. The sore spot of all phones without exception, since the number of “plugs” and “plugs” does not correspond to its “vital” forces. I advise you to buy a magnetic adapter, leave one part of it in the phone itself forever, connect the cord with an easy connection to it. Lawnectite magnet two components usb cable, and the connector will not be subject to breakable up or down movements.

The smartphone does not boot after flashing or updating

The problem is mainly related to this. That you have downloaded firmware that does not match the device. It is necessary to scrupulously, down to the comma, check everything that you downloaded. For which device, phone modification sometimes plays cruel jokes on the user. If there is a letter S at the end of the device name, then please look for firmware with exactly the same marking. And download only from trusted sources, I never tire of repeating this, just like the entire distribution required for flashing.

In addition, be sure to monitor the battery charge level, start the process with 50%, no less. Otherwise, without being fully flashed, the device will go into bootlap (the so-called endless switching process) or simply “die”, turning into a “brick” with no signs of life.

After updates and flashings carried out by the Xiaomi company itself, once a week on developer sites or once every few months on stable versions this problem does not arise. An algorithm has been developed that does not allow flashing without the necessary battery charge for this activity. The device itself will notify you about this.

From all that has been said, we draw a conclusion. Don't start if you're not sure. A lot of examples of low-quality smartphone firmware convinces me that this is a rather complex and delicate procedure that should be done by those who have an idea. You can’t flash it after watching enough videos from the Internet. Miss something.

The smartphone freezes at the start of loading

How does this happen? You turn on the phone, it boots and the Xiaomi logo appears. But things don’t go further, and you get the already familiar bootlap. The smartphone tries to boot, but it doesn’t work, it repeats its actions. And it gets completely stuck on the picture with Mi in the middle.

In this regard, we can say that the so-called system failure. It is difficult to say exactly what caused it. But there are not many ways to get out of it. This is first of all full reset. Making a Hard Reset:

• Press Volume + and Power key;
• Let's get into recovery, for orientation we select English;
• select Wipe, then Wipe all data;
• confirm the choice;
• the phone will do a full reset and turn on;
• or not.

If it doesn’t help, then the second method is the last. As you might have guessed, this is a re-flashing. There is no other way, you have to turn around. Install drivers, select firmware, download distribution, and so on. To move in this direction, you need to go to the 4 PDA website and find the brand of your phone.

Doesn't turn on after charging

There can be no two opinions here; the battery has “died”. At the beginning of the article, I indicated methods for checking the charging process and if everything meets the standards, all that remains is to state: a replacement is needed. Indirect indicator this conclusion There will be a red light on the top of the phone, if its color does not change to at least yellow, this means that the charge level is not increasing.

I must warn you that there cannot be an unlimited number of battery charging cycles. You need to focus on the number 500. In practice, it may be less. It all depends on how and when you charge the battery. But you should allow the charge level to drop below 15%, this will speed up the wear process and shorten its life.

Turned off and won't turn on

For those who want to “quickly” fix an annoying incident with their phone, I can recommend (not tested by me) quick way"repair". Some argue, and we can partly agree with them, that power-on failure occurs due to the memory card being full. Take it out and try turning on your smartphone again. If it doesn’t help, then you need to return to earth and start checking everything related to the charging process and the battery itself. You already know in general terms what to do with your Xiaomi.

Charged all night and didn't charge

Summing up the short review, we need to add something else. If your phone cannot charge, then here they are, all the possible reasons:

1. Your Xiaomi is many years old, problems may arise after a year of use, you should think about replacing the battery.
2. The usb connector is partially broken. In this case, the process can continue, but ineffectively. The battery will not charge until you have it replaced at a workshop.
3. The power controller is damaged and does not work properly or at all. Requires diagnosis and repair.

As a result, you can gradually figure everything out. Even in such an unexpected question, why does Xiaomi not turn on after purchase? True, here your hands are free, and you can present all claims immediately, because guarantee period implies full functionality of the device for a fairly long period. So take the receipt and go to the store. Or file a claim with the Chinese seller. Don't procrastinate.

You can try to determine the cause of the problem yourself. But practice shows that specialists deal with this best. In cases that are difficult to diagnose, I advise you not to be stubborn, but to trust the specialist.

Even this good smartphone How Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X has disadvantages. For example, some of its owners complain that from time to time the phone refuses to turn on.

As a rule, such a problem does not mean a hardware failure at all - in most cases, the failure can be fixed without resorting to services service center.

Most often, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X phone does not turn on after the firmware was unsuccessful. This usually applies to transitions from MIUI China to, as well as situations when so-called “customs” are installed (that is, graphical shells not released by Xiaomi).

To successfully complete the installation of non-native firmware and successfully turn on the phone, you must flash the firmware in compliance with the following recommendations:

1. Charge your smartphone to 100%. As a rule, it is recommended to charge the device to 50%, but a more reliable option is a full charge;
2. Check that the drivers are installed specifically for your version, since it can be either with a MediaTek or Snapdragon chip;
3. Check that the USB cable is secure. Testing is not only about connection, but also about the reliability of the wire, since at the slightest movement faulty cables they immediately interrupt and therefore disrupt the firmware process;
4. Restart your computer and turn off antivirus programs. The latter often block important components of firmware utilities, so it is worth temporarily deactivating them.

Sometimes Redmi Note 4x does not turn on even after updating the firmware using standard in-system methods. In such cases, the problem can be resolved with a little trick:

1. Hold down the combination of the power and volume down buttons (on some models, long pressing one power button is sufficient);
2. Wait until the Fastboot screen appears (with the MIUI logo);
3. Press the power button and hold until a slight vibration appears.

What other reasons could there be?

The smartphone may not turn on even when exposed to low temperatures (for example, during a long conversation in the cold). In this case, you will need to carry out the Fastboot procedure discussed above, after warming up the device in a warm room.

It's worth saying that this method universal, so it can suit different situations. If neither flashing nor manipulating Fastboot mode helps, it is recommended to contact a service center, since the problem most likely lies in a hardware malfunction of the Redmi Note 4x.

Instructions: If you encounter a problem where Xiaomi Mi4, Mi4c does not turn on, there are several reasons for the breakdown:

1. Try rebooting it.
2. The device may not turn on if the battery is faulty. The technicians will replace the battery to restore the device.
3. If the equipment is discharged and does not work, we will check to see if the connector is broken. If the part is damaged, we will replace it.
4. After a shock or voltage surge, the power controller may fail. To repair the device, the controller must be replaced.
5. When the device does not respond to charging, the connector is working properly, but does not turn on, the board or harness may be damaged. As a rule, this occurs as a result of liquid entering the device. To determine the cause of the breakdown, computer diagnostics is needed.

Bottom line: You can try to fix the device yourself in the first 3 cases. All other damage can only be repaired by specialists.
