*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.

 Thank for visiting!

How to Save on Air Conditioning Costs During The Summer with Homemade Window Covers

Are you getting frustrated trying to have a
comfortable temperature in your house during
the Summer and also trying to save money on
Air Conditioning?
Difficulty: Moderate





Instructions
things you'll need:
Full Size Black Trash Bags(number according to windows that you want to cover)
Velcro Tape
Scissors
Stable Chair or Ladder




1 First, Take the trash bag and flatten it out so that you can see 4 corners and
cut it (very Carefully) down the left side and down the right side. Make sure
that you cut strait down each side. *If done correctly, plastic should hang the
length of your window and cover most of the width of your window.

2 Now its time for the Velcro tape. Cut 2, 3 to 4 inch strips of equal length.
Then, remove the tape guard on one side of the velcro and tape it to the top
edge on the left side. Do the same thing with the other strip, but on the right
side. This end will be the top of your window guard. If you have blinds or
shades you should be just fine with just the two top velcro strips. If not, you
may need to add two more at the bottom.

3 Now take the new homemade window cover to a window where the sun shines
in most of the day. If you have blinds, raise them test out how your cover will fit
the window.
Now remove the sticky guard on the outside part of the velcro on the right and
left sides and press the velcro tape securely against the top left and right side
of your window while stretching the width of the plastic to the width of the
window pane. Make sure that it level.

4  Ok, Do you feel cooler yet? Now that your window guard is securely in the
window. carefully let down your blinds or shades so that the plastic rests
between the window pane and the blinds.

5  Repeat Previous steps for each window. And enjoy a cooler house and a
lower Electric bill.


Tips & Warnings:

Feel free to experiment with adhesive attachments. Duct tape left adhesive on my window so don't use duct tape.
Check to make sure the tape is secure every once in while.
It may take a while to make a straight cut in the trash bag but be patient and it will pay off.
Make sure you have good footing when trying to reach the top of the window.
No wobbly chairs.
Be careful.
