Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for powering on a terminal. The method for powering on a terminal includes: collecting, by a pressure detection unit disposed inside a housing of a terminal, a value of pressure; sending, by the pressure detection unit, an interrupt request to a power supply module when the value of the pressure collected by the pressure detection unit meets a set condition; and outputting, by the power supply module, a power supply maintaining signal after receiving the interrupt request, so as to power on the terminal. In the embodiments of the present invention, a pressure detection unit is disposed inside a housing of a terminal. A user needs only to press the housing of the terminal, and then the pressure detection unit can detect pressure and output an interrupt request to a power supply module to implement a power-on effect. The housing of the terminal does not need to be holed to dispose a power-on button, thereby improving waterproof and dustproof effects. |
