Fix Galaxy A50 Black Screen of Death or Screen Not Working issue
Check for Physical(Hardware) Damage
The most common reason why a smartphone screen suddenly stops working is hardware damage. If Galaxy S20 Black Screen issue happens after dropping the phone or after hitting it with a hard object, there may be bad hardware behind the trouble. If the screen is cracked but it appears to be working when you apply pressure on it or in some portions, there may be a chance to salvage your data from the device. If the digitizer is broken but remains generally functional, you may still be able to use the screen with some limitations.
Screen replacement is the only permanent fix for a physically damaged or cracked screen. However, if you don’t want to send the phone in for repair right away and plan to, say, create a backup first, then you can try to see if the display is still functional.
Charge device
If there’s no clear sign of physical damage and you are positive that the phone was never dropped or broken, it may have simply run out of battery power. Charge it up and see what happens.
And after charge, try to recalibrate the operating system so that it gets accurate battery level readings, do the following:
- Drain the battery completely. This means using your device until it powers down by its own and the battery level reads 0%.
- Charge the phone until it reaches 100%. Be sure to use original charging equipment for your device and let it charge up completely. Do not unplug your device for at least two more hours and also don’t use it while charging.
- After the elapsed time, unplug your device.
- Restart the device.
- Use your phone until it completely runs out of power again.
- Repeat the above steps.
Simple Reboot or Forced reboot
Well, I think you already know how to restart your phone. So just restart the device and see whether it solves the issue or not. Restarting a device is always an ultimate solution for any issue. Not only Galaxy but this applies to each and every electronic device. I used to tell my mom to restart her device if she faces any issue with her smartphone.
Well if you still need to know how to restart then, here is it: Press your phone’s power button. On the screen, tap Restart.
