How to Turn On an Android Phone
In order to start using your Android phone and all of its functionalities, you will need to power on your device. If you think your Power button is broken or that your battery has gone bad, your best option might be to have it repaired. However, there are a couple of troubleshooting methods you can try to use to get it back on.
Steps

Using the Power Button

Locate the power button. It's usually a single button located along the top or right edge of the phone.

Press and hold the power button.

Wait for your phone to turn on. If you have a security code, you will need to enter it before you can access your phone.

Booting from Recovery Mode

Find the volume buttons. Holding down both volume buttons, or a combination of the volume and home buttons, can sometimes bring up a boot menu. They are usually located along the left side of your phone.

Press and hold the buttons simultaneously. Your phone may require a combination of pressing and holding the volume and home buttons. Recovery mode is a feature that gives you tools to repair or install updates to your device. Click here for instructions on entering recovery mode from several different brands of Android phones.

Use your volume buttons to move through the menu. Many devices' boot menus will have instructions on how to reboot the phone using the volume buttons and power button as your controls. For example, on a Samsung Galaxy device, you can use the volume up and down buttons to scroll through the menu options, and use the power button to make a selection.

Use the power or home button to select reboot. The 'select' button varies between devices. Check the instructions at the top of your recovery mode menu screen to confirm which button to use.

Replacing Your Battery

Pop out the old battery. If you suspect the battery may be the problem, try replacing it with a spare.
