    For upcoming viewers: that's not a scam. Never ever thought a massage could do anything but man, that worked! my phone dropped from my hands and screen went black (with some minor green flashes when holding power), phone still working (vibration) but nothing. After 2-3 massages and power holding, the phone rebooted normally. Thank you so much!

    I was wrongly accused of spoiling my spouse Google phone because it went blank but ringing and not ring out, looking for how to make the phone work again I thought of looking for how and got to see your video, I followed your instructions and just at turning it on and not letting it go 😀 the phone turned on! hmmm what a relieve .
    Thank you very much for helping in turning the phone on again.

    Tapping worked for me! Bless you, many thanks! FYI, it went black when I had it out in deep cold (-10 F) but with a full battery. So maybe something inside got stiff or locked up. Odd that the freezer can also be a solution.

    Oh my gosh I can't believe it worked. Took letting it charge and the tapping stage again but I"M BACK. Oh thank you. I have had this Pixel 4 sitting not using it and JUST got it up and running and dropped it with no visible damage to the outside of the phone. I was devastated as I'd been enjoying a "new to me" phone for less than a week when I dropped it today. THANK YOU!

    Had to run through a few steps, however eventually it worked! It was the tapping on the back that did it (i had already tried tapping and even swiping the front, but was till getting nothing - the back did it!)
    Thanks!

    Thank you! I replaced my phone screen on my Pixel 4a 5g & there was a dead space in the bottom right segment of the screen. I reapplied double new adhesive and used much more pressure then followed this method. Doesn't work perfect but better than buying another replacement screen.

    • @KennyThaKoala
      @KennyThaKoala 2 роки тому +1

      I believe the cause of this issue is that pixel screens are very thin & touch detection does not work properly when they are deformed.

    My Pixel 4a went to 'black screen' and would not turn on, despite being fully charged. I tried tapping it and that brought it to life. The Black Screen has recurred a couple of times since and the same cure worked. I'm looking for advice on what might be loose inside - but cannot find anything, but came across this video - which is helpful for me to know that it is not an uncommon problem.

    My phone slipped out of my hand and fell like 2 feet onto the floor, looked completely undamaged except the screen wouldn't turn on. It was still vibrating normally though so it was clearly still on. I was scared but the tap method actually worked. So strange. (glad to have it working though haha)

    @kellyk7856 2 місяці тому

    So what do you if the home button only works sometimes? I can't force a restart without it working and without a screen, I can't tell if it's working. That started going wonky and then the screen was twitchy a few times, going dark. I rebooted after it came back, seemed to work fine, and now nothing will turn it on. It sounds and reacts like the screen is on, but you can't actually see anything. During the tap method, my flashlight came on because I obviously hit it with the screen dark.
    Help?

    @robertgerrish4538 Рік тому +1

    I did this and repeated the steps over and over again. What finally did it was to plug the phone into a charger (when I knew it was 'on' - screen still black) and after an hour or so, turn the charger off on the wall. Seconds later the screen lit up and it was as if nothing ever happened. A lot had happened however. All stress related! So now I have a brand new Samsung. It can sit in waiting until next time...

    I went for a run and it was dry then it began pouring sleet so I turned and went home. I took off screen protector, the wet case, dried off my phone with a soft cloth and soon after it said liquid or debris in usb. It would tell me when the usb was safe to use. It did but soon after said liquid or debris in the usb. The screen went a green tinge then a green line down the right side. Then I checked apps and when I went into one I could not swipe it up to get rid of it and I could not swipe down the area to put on flashlight or internet. Then 15 minutes later it switched off and would not come back on. I have let it dry. I tried the switching on the phone using the press down on power button. Nothing but then I heard on one attempt you are onto emergency services if you don’t want emergency services hang up. I had to press power button again a lot to get it to stop. The screen the whole time stayed black, so it powered up but screen stayed black. I dried it, press dried it with paper towel. Tried the tapping, the hitting off my palm. Nothing yet 😞

    Actually if your screen starts flickering for few days, then the display is damaged. By following the steps shown in the video, my phone got the display working for 1 day more.. after that it fully went dark and it was a display issue (because I dropped the phone before week). I changed the display, now my phone is fine.
