*Try at your own risk.  I am not responsible if your phone is damaged in any way if you try any fixes suggested below. *



Ok so here's the scenario....  You are working or playing or whatever on your ZTE smartphone and all of the sudden it just shuts off and no matter how many times you press the power button it will not turn on.  You know the battery is charged and you also know that the Phone has not been physically damaged in any way.

Note: If your battery has dropped below 0% and appears not to charging it by plugging it up to a computer via your USB charging/data cord.

Ok here is one way that could  possibly get you back up and running.

Press and hold down the volume button and the power button at the same time and hold them till your phone appears to be booting up.

After it flashes through a few screens a menu will come up on the screen similar to the image below.



Follow the navigation instructions on the screen and choose to "Reboot" your phone.

Hopefully your phone will reboot at this point and you should be back in business.

If rebooting your phone does not work there are other options on the menu to choose from
for instance you could choose to update your phone or completely reset it back to factory settings but I would only do a factory reset as a last resort.  *****Make sure you have contacts and any files you would not want to lose backed up to your PC before attempting a factory reset because all files and contacts, including instant messages will be erased.*******************

In closing I hope that this information has helped you regain functionality to your phone and also access to your files.

If none of these suggestions worked then you might try using a different charger cable to try and charge your phone or the charging port on your phone may be damaged, dirty, or dysfunctional. If your phone is dysfunctional the I suggest contacting the manufacturer or the retailer where you purchased the phone to see if a replacement or repair is possible.

How to Make a Homemade Fleatrap

Do you suffer from fleas getting in your house during the summer? I do and I found a good solution. I'll show you how to make a very simple flea trap.

Things You'll Need:

* The Top of a Plastic Solar Path Light
* Small See through Plastic Cup.
* Scissors
* One AA Battery


Step 1


Underside of Solar Path Light

I don't like the Idea of leaving an electric lamp hovering over a container of water while I'm sleeping for obvious fire hazard reasons. So Here is what I cooked up.
Screw the top off of a Plastic Solar powered Path Light. There is a small LED light on under side & a battery slot.


Step 2


Hole in Plastic Cup with Water and Dishsoap in the bottom.


Cut a large square out of one side of a small translucent plastic cup(You know the ones you buy in the plastic bags by the dozens). Cut the square about 1 inch down from the lip of the cup and leave about 2 to 3 inches at the bottom of the cup.

Step 3


Finished product. Now was that easy or what?

Put a AA Battery in the Solar light top.
fill the cup with water about 1 inch deep.
Drip in a drop of liquid dish soap to break the surface tension of the water so the fleas will sink to the bottom. No need to mix it up.
Place the cup with the in the problem room(Preferably near a sunny window)and place Solar Path Light on top. At night fleas will be drawn to the light, jump in, and drown. Now you don't have to worry about starting a fire. Move the trap from room to room as needed and flush dead fleas and refill water solution as needed. Hope this helps.

Tips & Warnings


* By leaving this handy trap near a sunny window it will charge the battery during the day light the way of doom for the fleas by night. Happy hunting!

* Make sure that the AA Battery is securely installed into the Solar Light Top. We don't want it falling into the water but that shouldn't happen It is quite hard to force them out when you are trying to.
