LG G4

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

 

Anyone experienced problems with LG G4, where the phone won't start up, or gets to the LG Life is good screen and turns off? Tried to do a hard reset but, when I go to the option to erase all data, I press yes and the phone just freezes.

 

Its still in warranty, purchased on 7/6/2015, but any ideas welcome.

 

Cheers,

Prem

Yes, its a common G4/G5 problem
Unfortunately it's a dead motherboard and needs a new one - best to contact LG directly about this though http://www.lg.com/uk/support/contact/telephone

Thanks for the quick reply, is the O2 repair no good? On the LG site, it says my warranty is only 1 year, but with O2 they say I'm covered for 2.

Do a search on here for Anovo (O2's repairers) and you will see some horror stories. As far as I'm aware, only Apple have a 12 month warranty these days.

You are covered with o2 for the length of your minimum term I believe but I wouldn't use their repair service to be honest

Call LG and ask them.
It's a well known manufacturing problem so you are covered for 6 years under EU law.

Definitely use LG directly. ...You are within warranty so it's the best route to take...
