Why is my phone charged but can’t turn on?

Why is my phone charged but can’t turn on?
I’ve noticed that even though my phone appears to be fully charged, it simply won’t turn on. This situation is really perplexing because, when I plug it in, the charging indicator lights up or shows the battery icon, indicating that it is indeed receiving power. However, despite being charged, pressing the power button doesn’t do anything. I’ve tried holding it down for extended periods, but there’s no response. This issue is incredibly frustrating, especially when I desperately need my phone, but it’s effectively rendered useless. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and what could possibly cause a charged phone to behave this way?

From personal experience, there could be an issue with the power button itself. Sometimes the button can get stuck or stop working due to physical damage or wear. Check if the power button feels different or appears damaged. If so, a repair or replacement may be necessary for the phone to turn on correctly.

Your phone might be experiencing a software crash or glitch, preventing it from turning on even when fully charged. This can occur due to corrupted files or a recent update that didn’t install properly. In such cases, a force restart might help. Try holding the power button and the volume down button simultaneously for about 10-20 seconds to see if the device responds.
