Have you just got your hands on the brand new Samsung Galaxy S8? Are you having problems with the device not turning on? Well, not to worry, that can happen sometimes, and there’s a simple trick to get it working properly.

If your Galaxy S8 doesn’t turn on by simply pressing the Power button, or is switched on but won’t respond, then here’s what you need to do. Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Down button together for about seven seconds.

This should make the device perform a hard reboot. Don’t worry, it will not damage your brand new S8 or S8 Plus in any way. Sometimes first boots take long, or the software gets stuck, or the phone becomes completely unresponsive due to various other reasons.
