    My HTC is not responding when I switch it on. It only shows the HTC logo on the screen but does not move past that even after rebooting.

    Is it fully charged? If the logo is showing but then it turns off, this could be a sign of a dead battery.

    It depends on what kind of phone you are using. For most phones, press down the power button together with either the up or down volume key. For other phones with the home button, the power button is pressed together with the home button for some few seconds.

    Try pressing the power button and down volume. Most of the time this works but it varies between phone models and manufacturers.
