How Can I Turn On My Samsung Galaxy J2 After Months of Not Using It?

Asked by GadgetGuru93
I bought a new phone a while back and put my old Samsung Galaxy J2 away. Now, 8 or 9 months later, I need to access some data from it, but it's not turning on like it used to. It was working perfectly fine before I switched it off! Could this be a battery issue or something wrong with the phone? I just need to power it on for about 10 to 15 minutes to retrieve my data. Any suggestions on how to get it to turn on?

Make sure youโ€™re using a working charger. How long have you left it plugged in? It could take a bit before the phone responds if it's been dead for that long.

First thing you should do is plug it into a charger and let it charge for a while. If the battery was completely dead, it might take some time before you even see the charging animation. If it still doesnโ€™t turn on after that, you may need to consider replacing the battery.

Have you checked if itโ€™s charging when you plug it in? If it's not, that's a clear sign it isn't getting any power.
