Troubleshooting Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro Won’t Turn On Problem

There might seem to be no significant difference between Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro and its predecessors, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. However, after spending some time with the phones at Google’s launch event in Brooklyn, I learned that they look similar but differ in several important ways from their predecessors.

One of the phone’s most distinctive features is a camera bar across the rear panel. Rather than glass, Google is replacing it with an aluminum strap, which should be less likely to break.

However, something is still missing in these smartphones, causing errors while using the new devices. For example, recently, users have been complaining that their Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro won’t turn on. We have already gathered some information about this problem, which we will discuss further in this guide. So, let’s start with the reason behind this problem.

Reasons why the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are Not Turning On

Several minor and major reasons can cause power issues on Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Reasons for this include:

• Low battery, charging issues, and other issues relating to batteries.
• An example of physical damage is a broken charging clip or moisture accumulation at the charging slot due to liquid exposure.
• The Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro device cannot function properly due to a corrupt file, an application, or a program affecting its entire performance.
• Updates that are faulty.

How To Fix Google Pixel 7 And 7 Pro Won’t Turn on Problem

If your Google Pixel 7 or 7 Pro won’t turn on, it can be a distressing situation, especially if you’re unsure of the cause. This issue can arise due to various factors such as battery drain, software glitches, or hardware problems. In this guide, we’ll walk you through several troubleshooting steps to help you get your Google Pixel 7 or 7 Pro powered back on.

Fix 1: Check Physical Damage

It is important to check for any signs of damage first. Did your phone seem to have been dropped before this problem occurred? It was drenched in water, wasn’t it? Dropping your phone from a certain height can sometimes damage it, causing it to shut down and not restart.

However, the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro can still suffer from water damage despite their IP68 water resistance rating. If the issue is caused by water or physical damage, it is recommended that you have it repaired at an authorized service center.

Fix 2: Charge your Google Pixel

You might just have drained the battery on your Pixel phone, which is why it won’t turn on. If your Pixel phone does not turn on after charging for at least 30 minutes, then you should try charging it for another 30 minutes.

1. Use a working electrical outlet to plug in the power adapter.
2. You will need a USB-C charging cable that works to charge your Google Pixel.
3. Ensure the phone is plugged in for at least 30 minutes before use.

Before charging the phone, it’s important to make sure that both the charger and the outlet you’re connecting to are working.

A red light indicates that the phone’s battery is fully discharged when connected to its charger. After leaving the phone connected for 30 minutes, press and hold the power button, then tap Restart after leaving the phone connected for 30 minutes. You should follow these instructions if you see an Android robot that says start and has an arrow around it is as follows.

1. Turn off the device by pressing the volume-down button. 
2. Select Power off by pressing the power button.
3. Ensure your phone is charged for at least 30 minutes before use.
4. For a few seconds, press and hold the power button.

Fix 3: Force Restart Your Phone

Software glitches are possible causes of this issue. To resolve this issue, it is recommended that you force reboot the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. This process requires rebooting the device’s operating system and reloading all services. The data, files, and apps on your device will remain the same.

Fix 4: Connect Pixel 7 and 7 Pro to Computer

The problem can be fixed using a computer if you have one available.

1. Plug the charger into the wall outlet and unplug the cable.
2. Turn your computer on and make sure it is powered on.
3. Use the cable that came with your phone to connect your phone to your computer’s USB port.
4. Wait 10 to 15 minutes.
5. The cable must be disconnected and reconnected within 10 seconds.
6. You may see a battery icon or a red light within a minute. The phone is being charged and powered off when the battery icon appears. If a red light appears, it indicates the battery has reached its full discharge.
7. At least 30 minutes should be spent charging your phone.
8. Your phone will restart after holding the power button for a few seconds. If you need to restart, tap Restart.

Fix 5: Factory Reset Pixel 7 And 7 Pro

If the problem persists, your phone will need to be booted into recovery mode and factory reset. Android’s operating system is disabled while you access your phone’s firmware in recovery mode. There will be no data left on your phone when you do a factory reset in this mode, so make sure to have a backup copy of it before starting. Here are the steps to factory reset your Pixel device:

1. You need to turn off the device.
2. In order to do this, you must hold down both the Volume down button as well as the Power button simultaneously.
3. You must release both buttons when you see the triangle with an exclamation point and Fastboot.
4. Then, power button should be held while you press the Volume Up button, and then you should release both buttons if you see an exclamation point and the words No Command.
5. Then press the Power button when you have highlighted Wipe data/factory reset.
6. The volume keys should be used to highlight. Yes, then the power button should be pressed. Let the deletion process take place while you wait.
7. Using the volume keys, select Reboot system now by pressing the power button and using the volume keys to select it.
