You might not know this, but at least as far as we know, there are two ways to turn on your Xiaomi phone. The first one, which you probably know and use regularly, – is to press and hold the power button (also known as the power button) located on the right. This button is used to turn the device on and off.
And the second, less known way – is to enter the recovery mode of our Xiaomi smartphone. Recovery mode – is a recovery mode that is available on all Android phones and that allows you to force restart your phone among other things.
This is a very useful way to turn on when the power button on the Xiaomi isn't working very well (and you want to avoid pressing it so you don't damage it completely) or it's broken.
Here how to turn on a Xiaomi smartphone without using the power button
First of all, it is important to know that in order for this method to work and turn on your phone, it must have at least 15% charge, that is, it must not be fully discharged.
So put it on the charger to make sure the battery is charged and if necessary leave it charging for a while until it reaches about 15% charge. While the phone is connected to the network, you can watch the charging process. Then, when it reaches the percentage we told you about, unplug it.
Now do this:
- Press and hold the volume up button on your Xiaomi smartphone .
- While holding the volume up button, connect the mobile charger to the network (or computer) and the other end of the cable to the phone until the Recovery screen appears. After that, you can disconnect the charger.
- Use the volume up and down buttons to move between the different items in this menu. Use them to highlight the Reboot option, which will allow you to turn on the Xiaomi smartphone without using the power button. You will know that the option is selected because it will be displayed in a different color.
- Now you need to wait a few minutes until the Xiaomi smartphone reboots automatically (don't worry, you will be fine). Like we said, you don't need to do anything, just wait for it to turn on, so be patient!
- Once turned on, a screen will appear asking you to enter your password, PIN, or pattern key and unlock the phone so you can use it.
