Solved: Black screen of death

Anonymous · ‎28-08-2017

Hi

My samsung S4 has got the black screen of death. It's happened before, but managed to bring it back to life. But this time, no matter what I do it won't come back to life.

I have pressed the home key for 15 seconds, I have pressed the home key and the power key and nothing, I have pressed the power key and volumn up - all combinations and nothing.

What do you all think?

It certainly should last longer than that.
Give Samsung a call to see if you're still covered on warranty, should be 2 years.

It's not due an upgrade till Feb 2018, so it's not yet 24 months old. My other Samsung lasted me around 5/6 years. This one...less than 2. I haven't finished paying it off...

Definitely deal with Samsung, don't be tempted to deal with O2 repairs because it's easier.
