If your Galaxy S6 is completely powered off and its Power button has failed, there is no verified button-free method in the available Samsung guidance to turn it on. First rule out a drained battery or a charging problem; if the phone remains off, the reliable next step is diagnosis and repair of the button or related hardware.

First, rule out a drained battery or charging problem

  1. Remove the case. Check that nothing is pressing against or blocking the physical buttons. Samsung recommends removing a case if it interferes with button operation. Samsung’s Galaxy troubleshooting guidance
  2. Connect a known-good compatible charger and cable. Use a Samsung-certified charger and cable if available. A deeply discharged Galaxy may not show a charging indicator right away, so leave it connected for a while before concluding that it is not charging. Samsung
  3. Try a second known-good charging setup. If there is still no sign of charging, test another compatible charger and data cable. This can help distinguish a depleted battery from a charger, cable, or port problem. Samsung Singapore

If the phone starts after charging, the immediate issue may have been a depleted battery rather than a failed startup method. Charging alone, however, is not a documented way to boot a powered-off S6 when its Power button is broken.

Can a forced restart turn on an S6 with a broken Power button?

Only if the Power button can still be pressed. Samsung’s forced-restart procedure is to press and hold Power and Volume Down together for at least seven seconds. It may help if the phone is frozen and the switch still works, but it cannot bypass a physically failed Power button. Samsung’s Galaxy troubleshooting guidance

If the button works intermittently, remove the case and try that combination once. If the button cannot be pressed or the phone does not respond, do not treat repeated key combinations as a guaranteed workaround.

Does wireless charging start a powered-off Galaxy S6?

The Galaxy S6 supports Qi and Powermat wireless charging. That gives you another way to check whether the wired charging port may be the problem, provided you have a compatible charging pad. It does not establish that wireless charging will turn on a fully powered-off S6 without the Power button. Samsung wireless charging information

When the Power button appears to have failed

If charging does not restore the phone and the Power button is unusable, the available guidance supports diagnosing and repairing the button or associated hardware rather than relying on a software trick. iFixit lists a Galaxy S6 power-button replacement guide and a power-button cable; check your phone’s exact model number before choosing a part, because compatibility can vary by model.

  • Choose professional repair if you are not experienced with phone disassembly. Contact Samsung support or a qualified local repair provider to ask about diagnosis and service for your specific handset.
  • Consider DIY repair only if you have suitable experience and have confirmed the replacement part matches the phone’s model variant. The existence of a guide or listed cable does not confirm compatibility or current availability for every S6.

Avoid probing or shorting internal contacts, or opening the phone without appropriate repair experience. The cited guidance does not establish these as safe user procedures.

Why button-combination tips from forums are not a dependable fix

Some online discussions describe other button combinations, but they are not authoritative evidence of a universal startup method. Such combinations can enter recovery or download menus rather than start Android, and may depend on buttons that are also damaged. Samsung’s documented forced restart still requires the Power button.
