  • My smartphone doesn’t turn on

    Before starting the return procedure, follow these three steps:

    • Check if the problem is not coming from the charger. Try charging your smartphone with another charger.
    • Check that there is no dust on the charging connector that prevents contact with the charger. We invite you to watch this video.
    • Do a forced reboot of the device.

    In fact, the screen can stay locked or black without a real hardware problem. A forced reboot does not mean that you lose the contents of the device. You can force restart the device even if the screen is black or the buttons are

  • Sound issues (microphone / speaker)

    This is usually a failure of the material and not of the software, but to avoid a return that immobilizes your device for 10 days, we invite you to verify that it is not an excess of dust.

    Tip: with a slightly damp toothbrush, rub the affected area (speaker, microphone, sound output in calls next to the front camera).

    We hope we have solved the problem, otherwise we will open an application. To do this, we invite you to consult our article dedicated to this topic.
