Understanding the Issue

Achieving a successful resolution heavily relies on attaining a comprehensive understanding of the issue at hand. A black screen could result from a software crash, a hardware problem, or a drained battery.

Oftentimes, more than a mere restart is required to rectify the problem. So if the issue persists, seeking the aid of a professional may be necessary

Step 1: Perform a Soft Reset

A soft reset is the simplest way to restart your Samsung Galaxy phone. It doesn’t delete any data and is similar to continuing a P.C. Here’s how to do it:

1. To initiate the desired action, simultaneously holding down the Volume Down and Power buttons for a period of 10 to 15 seconds is necessary.
2. When the Samsung logo shows up on the screen, release both buttons.
3. Wait for your phone to restart.

Step 2: Charge Your Phone

If the soft reset doesn’t work, the problem could be a drained battery. Be sure that your Samsung galaxy phone is connected to a reliable power source, and allow a few minutes for it to recharge. If the charging icon appears, let your phone charge for a while before turning it on again.

Step 3: Boot in Safe Mode

Booting your phone safely can help determine if a third-party app is causing the problem. Here’s how:

1. Press and hold the Power button until the Samsung logo appears.
2. As soon as you see the Samsung logo, let go of the Power button and quickly grasp the Volume Down button, maintaining pressure on it.
3. Continue to hold the Volume Down button until the device finishes restarting.
4. If “Safe mode” appears at the bottom of the screen, release the Volume Down button.

If your screen works in safe mode, an app is likely causing your problem. You can uninstall recently downloaded apps one by one until the issue is resolved.

Step 4: Perform a Factory Reset

In the event that every other solution proves ineffective, resorting to a factory reset may be necessary, as it will erase all data on your phone. Before proceeding, ensure you have backed up all critical data.

1. Turn off your Samsung Galaxy phone.
2. Simultaneously pressing the Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons will prompt the appearance of the Android icon. Maintain the hold until the said icon appears on the screen.
3. To select the option of wiping data and resetting the factory settings, utilize the Volume Down button to highlight the said option and subsequently press the Power button.
4. Once the process has finished, opt for the ‘Reboot system now’ option.

Remember, if you’re uncomfortable performing these steps alone, it’s best to take your phone to a professional. With the aid of this guide, may you resolve the issue of your black screen and restore your Samsung Galaxy phone to its optimal condition.
