Won't turn on

Gabry · Jan 25, 2020

I recently picked up this galaxy s6 edge from a friend that upgraded. It won't turn on, neither to android recovery, nor to download mode nor the system. I charged it via wireless charging overnight and i tried for around an hour with a cable. What do i do?

Talk to your friend

Leave it for a few hours with the cable. If that doesn't get enough charge in for it to start then there's nothing you can do with it, it needs a repair or a new battery.

how many watts? are 5w ok? or do i need more?

A standard 5W charger will be fine. In fact if we're dealing with a really flat battery higher power would be no use (the phone will control how much current flow according to the state of the battery, and it shouldn't shove really high power into a properly flat battery).

I made around 4 attempts: 2 hours, overnight, around 4 hours, and overnight but with a wireless charger.

as @mikedt has said, the battery is dead and needs replacing.......not an easy thing to do on the s6 edge.
