- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Fix any Samsung Galaxy that's showing a black display with nothing on screen or the display becomes unresponsive and not accepting touch input. The capacitive touch buttons and LED notification lights will work or flash but your you will be unable to see anything on screen,furthermore you may hear power up sounds and messages coming in, the symptoms vary from phone to phone but if you have a similar issue this should fix the problem.
More Info on this Fix:tinyurl.com/nv3...
Summary: Take out the battery and hold the power button for 2 mins, then leave the battery out for a further 10 mins before starting the phone. Recardo suggests using this time to take a walk or similar. Repeat this a couple of times if necessary.
+Gavin Alves thank you saved me like mins
+Eyder Gutierrez did it work
+Johnny Smith nopee
+Gavin Alves I tried something similar- without the hold on power button, I just pulled the battery out and took a nap. When I placed the battery back in it was functional again.
+MaeLSTRoM1997 Thanks for confirming that both taking an walk and taking a nap will work.
ITS ALIVE!! It worked!! But it did take a few tries like he said and then the last try I took my battery out for a couple hours and YESSSS!! I'm typing this post now from my resuscitated phone. Thanks a million times over!!!
Persistence is key. Glad you followed the tips and did not quit prematurly.
My s3 screen went black today; lights turn on and can hear that the buttons are responsive and the phone can turn on and charge, but the screen is black. I was a little skeptical of this working at first since i saw people commenting about how it didn't work for some even after numerous tries. After reading the article and some thinking i thought it wouldnt hurt to try. I tried it 3 times and after the 3rd try, my phone's screen is working again! Dude you are a miracle worker and thanks for posting this vid and article! Im subbing!
same omg i was freaking out
My S3 was dropped in the toilet and whenever the battery is low the screen would flicker but idc I got a new handed down phone.
Hemen Çabuk
Th3Truth49 i got s3 to plz wish me luck for this to work 😩
Th3Truth49 same problem as me and same phone btw
God bless you, people of the internet. I'm hours away from business travel and you saved me some serious panic.
Not only did this work, it transformed my old galaxy into the latest Samsung folding phone. I'm so happy.
Thanks for this video. 👍
i love how he gives a suggestion on how one can pass 10 minutes "you can go for a walk".
Take a nap :)
Thank you so much you saved my phone which I was just about to throw away, but now I can sell it as it is in mint condition. THANK YOU A MILLION!!
My Samsung phone went blank using Google maps this morning as I driving back from my shopping trip, tried what you said and worked like a charm, many thanks mate. Save me a bill. Andrew
I am the world's BIGGEST cynic, but this actually worked!!!!! My very old Samsung Galaxy S3 (which I still use as an alternative phone and MP3 player), would not charge. At all. It was dead, dead, dead. Tried different chargers, which worked for other devices, but nothing. Phone was completely dead and I thought it was a gonna. Took battery out and did what he suggested, but nothing. I was so disappointed. Took both sim card and battery out and tried again, but only put battery in before turning phone on again, left the sim card out. I couldn't believe it when the charge light came on...... the phone is charging as I type this, and I'm so delighted as I'm very fond of this phone even though it's very old. Plus, it has all my music playlists saved on it. Thank you so much Ricardo, you've made me so incredibly happy!
Well glad to make a believer out of you. Only happy though your problems fixed.
Now go backup and duplicate your music playlist because you're on borrowed time, my friend.
@@DigitalBathInAZ I already have my music backed up in 2 separate places. Don't want to risk losing decades of brilliant music! Thanks for the suggestion, though.
@@abbyg5069 Same here. I use my S3 only as a portable music/podcast player and it is starting to show signs of age and inevitable impending failure, but everything is baffled up on multiple computers.
Wow it actually worked.
Saved me 100$.
Thank you man
video starts at 1:56
Thanks so very very much.
I dropped my phone hard on a wet floor on Thanksgiving and the screen went black. I tried fixing the phone using rice and also watching several videos on you tube.
NOTHING worked until I followed your instructions.
I was going to take my phone to an expert to get it fixed or buy a new phone even though I really couldn't afford one right now.
Thanks, you are the greatest and I have subscribed !!!
dropped my Samsung S5 on Saturday..screen was working but kept turning black every 10 min or so, watched your video and done what you said and it worked first time!!! can't thank you enough!
This worked like a charm! Thanks, Ricardo you're a lifesaver!
It worked first try. I saved $100 bc of this. Thank you!
It worked on the first try! Thank you so much. You saved me a trip to the phone store!!
This worked perfectly for me on the first try!! I have an LG Optimus Dynamic II (LG39C). My screen was lit and looked just fine, but had suddenly become totally unresponsive to touch. Tried soft reset, but no luck. Couldn't even turn the phone off, because it wouldn't respond to touch, but tried this anyway. Removed battery, held power button for three minutes, put the phone down and went away for about 30 min. When I put the battery back in, everything was fine! Thank you so much! So glad I found your excellent video.
Thank you very much, Ricardo! This really works!!! My phone went black too , but the power button, volume key up amd down and the home screen working but I cannot see anything and sometimes It appears for awhile but with some different colors appearing on the screen whenever I try too press the power button. I followed these steps repeatedly. Once twice thrice and so on,until my phone works! I took out battery and simcard. Press and hold the power button for 1 minute then let it rest for 10 minutes and then put back my battery and on. The first try never worked. I repeatedly do it until 3 minutes and then let it rest for 10minutes and it worked! ( the resting time of 10 minutes is really important don't skip, guys) Thank you again now I am typpng this with my phone that I managed to fix by myself because of your helpful video! More power and God bless,Ricardo. 😊
Ricardo your technique worked like a charm. I was able to bring my wife's phone back from the "shadow of death" as my daughter put it. thanks a million!
Thank you Wilson, that's a cool name your daughter came up with -really creative. Do remember to like and if you like my content subscribe I do lots of tutorials on how to fix your gadgets and other Technology.
By the way, your technique worked on the first try!
How exactly is this a "fix"? Rebooting the system isn't a fix. It is a work around. The problem remains and will recur
Thanks a lot Ricardo. I was just about to replace the digitize,r yet the solution was so simple and it worked on the first try.
+Carlos T Glad you did not jump the gun and replace the digitizer
Bro..you are a life savour..it worked for me..thanku..
you need millions like not just one
thank u very very very very ........ much
Thanks very much for this, It worked perfectly! I followed the instructions and although on the first attempt it didn't work, I tried it again and left the battery out overnight, as it was late in the evening. I put it back together in the morning and everything was back to normal straight away.
Glad you used your creativity vs being impatient. It worked for you because you are smart. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@rickytlc1985 mine dident work
wooooooooow amazing, it worked for me. Thank you for helping me out today. God bless you and grant you more knowledge.
Thanks much
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I have an S5, however continue to use my S4 in the house for games, apps outside the play store, fun, etc. Actually I believe it is better than S5. Yesterday I dropped my S4. in water and after drying and 3 tries it booted with screen with your instructions!!!
Thank you! And, you have beautiful nails! ;-)
I have a galaxy s4, and this worked for me the first time. Thank you for the video, it was very helpful.
SAME here ! 2016/06/24. It worked on a GS4. Thanks a lot !
I have a question when you try that does it erase your pictures music etc?
I did not erase anything in the memory. I just reseted the screen
Worked for me. Great video and fantastic accent! :D
Wow Awsome It Totally Worked! I Took Off The Battery & Pressed The Power Button For 2 Minutes & Put It Right Back On & Turned It On & Bamm Awsome Thank You!
You are a lifesaver! Worked on the first try
+ItachiFan137 Awesome so happy for you.
Thank you, this worked for me. I mean, granted, I didn't wait 10 minutes after removing the battery but it still worked. Thanks!
works right away, no need for 10 minute break
Many thanks to you. Saved me of buying another one.
+jo mi Glad to hear :)
I removed battery and immediately reinstalled it and it worked. Thanks for helping
+Larry Dodge Glad you got such quick results friend.
+Ricardo Gardener what if i dropped it and the screen went black?
Guys I found fix ! work on my galaxy s4 and galaxy express here what to do.
1. take battery out, put it back in
2.plug the phone to PC with cable and when you hear vibrate that its charging take the battery out very quickly (hit phone on your hand so battery falls) and the screen will flash for a second, quickly put battery back in and it starts charging with working screen!
3. Try it 1-5 times as it dosent always flash first time!
4.good luck please tell me if work :)
+Damian Bednarski this worked to reset my screen display. The touch isn't working though.
Thank you very much. A great video. When I had the black screen I pressed on the volume down button, power button and home button all at once. Fixed.
Excellent

Thanks a lot Ricardo, My S4 started working properly

+Ricardo Gardener Unfortunately....it didnt last long....tried to re-do the same thing as you showed...but the screen remains black forever.. i dont know how to remove the hardware casing & stuff .....
It saved my galaxy note 4, thank you so much! ^_^
Excellent
Thanks for the info bro I hold the power button down for a minutes and now it really works
today, my touch screen wasn't working on my samsung galaxy s5, & I simply took out the battery for a couple minutes , put it back in and turned it back on and my touch screen works again . I'm so glad.
+Kevin Morrill Glad it worked smoothly for you.

Brilliant video, very informative indeed. Many thanks for uploading. Just about to try my Samsung now using this method.
Great job! The process worked the 1st time. Thanks!
Worked like a charm, thank you very much sir :)

Thank You so much! My Note 4 now works like a charm!
how did you make it work for your note 4????? Cruz mine didn't!!
how did you make it work for your note 4????? Cuz mine didn't!!
Very helpful, but it took him nearly 5 minutes to say something that could have been said in 30 seconds!
Tried this it may take upto 5 or more tries but it takes patience you could easily make money by offering a simple repair service like this if this was me it would be a simple quick fix it works...
Thanks very helpful..First try to! I liked and you have earned a new subscribe.
Awsome it worked bro !!!! you're the man .......thanks!!!
i found my week-old phone sitting in about two inches of water in the cup holder of my car. after the rice trick, it started doing the screen thing. sometimes it'll work and be very light and washed out looking, and will eventually start getting flashy and black out again. it DOES seem to be temperature driven, but i decided to give this a go with a cynical outlook. i left my phone off for at least twenty minutes (dunno if that makes a difference or not) but it actually worked! i am so excited to see my screen again! and in full color! now to see how long it lasts...
it's been hours and it is still good! even if it doesn't last, this is a fantastic quick fix. love having my phone back
+leigh mount Really happy for you, just love when a good fix connects with the right person in need of it :) .
Worked perfectly on my S5. Thanks for sharing!
Mauro Roberto seriously bro
It doesn’t work
Love ur accent haha
That's not really his accent. He is actually from Georgia and is just pretending to have the Indian accent. Pretty good huh?! :)
thats not an indian accent o.o
TheNextGenGuy ...as I SAID.... it is not his real accent. He is really from Georgia and he is just pretending to have that accent. If you do not believe me, ask him.
sorry guys, but I'm pretty certain he's Jamaican.
Hes Jamaican ....hes on the national football team..._
Thank you sir ! IYour method is the only one that worked for me ! Like and subscribe !
+Blytz Amv 文 Thank you very much friend.
awesome man, worked first time for me, thanks!
really could you please tell me what happened to your phone
Yeah for sure. My galaxy S4 was completely black, and it wouldn't respond to the power button or home button. I took out the battery, held the power button down for 2 minutes, and then let it sit for 10 minutes without touching it. Then I put the battery back in, held down the power button for a few seconds, and it turned on like normal.
I've heard that if that doesn't work you should try doing the same process, but holding the power button for 3 minutes instead before you let it sit. I hope that helps.
Jake the dog yes ,it really helps my phone still make voices when I open it but with a black screen it sucks ,ugh thank you anyway
Sorry to hear that :/
I hope you're able to figure it out eventually
Tried this months ago 4-5 times and didn't work. Tried it randomly today on the same phone and it was successful. Continue to try
Thank You Ricardo!
It worked on first attempt.
thank u thank u thank it omg it works so well just tried it a second ago thank u😄😄😄😄😄😆😆😆💜💜💜💜💕💕💕💕
Totally worked! So happy. Thanx a alot.
Any time, rem to leave a like.
Really Good Video All The Best You.
This worked, thank you so much!
I know this works because I accidentally did it in the AT&T store while getting a replacement phone, I'm bringing the new one back! thank you
Well in that case makes sense since its most likely under warranty friend. Thanks for commenting.
what if it's blacked out after a drop. will this work for it?
right
Same here, have a s3, it dropped but when turned on it, i get a black screen, however the notification LED lights up and i can hear the startup sound
+Armah Sam same
Random Dude nope threw it in the corner, found out that one of the chip on the circuit board fried... can't specifically recall which one tho
same
I tried going for a walk but nothing happened. Went for a jog the second time still nothing. Third time however, I did the Harlem Shake... Worked like a charm!
Thanks - still working for me 6 hours later.
lol you never know when it might kick in just don't give up on the first try. Give it a rest and try again later I hope others are taking note.
And your advice did not PERMANENTLY fix the problem, which is what people experiencing this are looking for. We can simultaneously press power and volume buttons, and it will boot up, without all the battery removal baloney. But how to you get the black screen to keep from coming back?
Wow🙀..thank you so much😄
Most welcome 😊
big up yute. like the step forward. proud a yuh
+Jerome Johnson Thank you Jerome really means allot coming from you my friend.
cool nuh general, just keep it up. from stride to stride
i kept this old s3 for a long time so im trying it now
it is working tnx,so much on,my Samsung s5 tnx
Killer Pro still works?
Killer Pro if it'a cracked to?
it worked it actually worked. i must say that i didn't think it would but it did.
HOLY FUCK IT WORKED THANKS DUDE XD I WAS SCARED THAT MY PICTURES WERE ALL GONE CAUSE I TRIED CHARGING THE PHONE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE SCREEN WAS ALL BLACK THEN AFTER I TRIED YOUR METHOD IT WORKED AHHHHHHHHH THANKS! GOD BLESS U :)
Worked great, thanks my phone is back up and running and Im very grateful.
Brilliant thanks it worked first time!
this worked for me. many thanks :D
Excellent-What type of device do you own?
s3 the problem is touchscreen not detecting touch. the thing is yesterday it worked but today it's back to the same... i'm trying it again but i haven't been able to get it to work again. i haven't drained its battery like you said yet( i havent let it run out of batery in a long time since i was told you should keep it charged between 25 and 75%) so im going to try to do it this time... hopefully it'l work il backup my data and update or factory reset
i managed it again. i wiped my cache and i'm updating everything.
the problem still persisted but i think i've figured it out. i believe this happened due to leaving my phone during the night near an high humidity zone. the temperature was 15ºC and since ive kept it above that i haven't had a problem.
it works Galaxy S5.....thnxxxxxxxx :-)
+Lil PrinC Super glad it worked on your device.
thank you soo muchh!!! it worked. youre a life saver
It did not work the first two times that I followed the procedure. I called my cell, did not get a screen but was able to answer the call by guessing where the answer button was located on the screen. Since taking that call, it seems to be working. Thanks for posting troubleshooting options. Hopefully it will continue to work.
+Alice Eason Jenkins I hope so too Alice, best of luck.
Hi, I followed your instruction and it worked...but just for a minute, than it turned black again with same problems (black screen, touch responding, vibrating, etc.). Do you have suggestions?
You can only keep repeating the process until the fix sticks or the issue goes away.
it doesn't work for me
hold it for longer, id say 5 mins
DeluxRP I'll try but my screen won't get the color it is black, the screen is just black ...
ulta power saving mode
Hello, I was so skeptic... but finally after the second try it worked!!! I allso pressed at the area, where the screen connector is located (my dougther dropped her phone). Can you explain? 1000000 x 10x!!!
I'm trying this right now with my old phone🌲I have the s7 now but I have some old pictures in my s5 I want to see so I'm trying this out🤑hopefully it works🔥
thank you so much! my dad would have kill me lmao. ya saved my life ;)
