Clean the charging ports, force a restart, or reset your device
An Android black screen is not the same as an Android phone that won't turn on or one that appears fuzzy. If your phone has a black screen you may see:
Unfortunately, there's no one single thing that can cause your Android to have a black screen. Here are a few causes, but there could be others, too:
Regardless of the reason, there are a few things you can try to get your Android phone screen working again.
Make sure the buttons on your device are not jammed. First, inspect the buttons to be sure they're not caked with dirt, lotion, lint, or other debris. Then try freeing the buttons by pressing the button several times in quick succession. The button should free depress and release with each press.
After you've thoroughly cleaned and tested the buttons, reboot your Android device.
Clean the charging port. Dust and debris could keep your phone from charging properly. Inspect and clean the charging port. If necessary you can gently blow into the charging port, or use a wooden toothpick to try to remove anything that's stuck in the port. Once it's clean, plug your phone in and let it charge for about 10 minutes. After it's charged for a short while, try restarting the phone.
Recharge the battery. Wait until the batteries die completely and the phone shuts down and then recharge the phone, and restart it after it's fully charged. If there is a critical system error causing the black screen, this should get your phone working again.
Squeeze your phone. Gently, but firmly press your phone from both sides, squeezing the front and back together. If there's a loose LCD connection, this could help reseat the connection and get the screen working again. If this works, consider taking the phone to an authorized service center to have them firmly reseat the LCD cable.
If your phone is in a case, remove it from the case before you start this process so that you can accurately gauge how much pressure to put on your phone without breaking the screen.
Force restart the phone. Plug in your phone, wait five minutes, and then try to do a forced restart. Depending on the model Android phone you have you may need to use some combination of buttons to force restart the phone, including:
Remember to restart your phone after it has completely shut down.
Remove the battery. If possible, remove the battery, wait 30 seconds or more, and then reinstall the battery and start your phone. If cannot remove the battery from your phone, you'll need to allow your phone to discharge completely. Then recharge it and try to restart the phone again.
Use caution when taking your phone apart to remove the battery. If you have a newer phone that's hard to open with the appropriate tools, take the device to a professional who can help. Otherwise, you run the risk of doing further damage to your phone.
Remove the stylus. If you have one, remove the stylus and see if it causes the screen to come on. If it does, navigate to Settings > General management > Reset and then choose Auto Restart and schedule a time for your phone to restart. You'll have to wait until this time to see if an automatic restart fixes your problem.
Reboot your phone into Safe mode. Safe mode may allow you to navigate the phone to restart it, clear the cache (more on that below), or perform other tasks that could help fix the black screen problem.
When changing up which buttons you're holding, you may have to try a few times to get the timing exactly right. It should be about 10 seconds before you switch to the new buttons (but keep the power button depressed all the time), but switching too soon or too late will cause the phone not to boot into Recovery Mode.
Clear the cache on your Android phone. This deletes temporary files and frees resources, which could resolve whatever issue is preventing the display from turning on.
Try a factory data reset. This will restore the phone to factory settings, which deletes all your data, so be sure to back up anything you don't want to lose before you start this process, if possible.
If you have a Samsung phone, use Samsung Smart Switch to connect your phone to your computer, and then try to access it, reboot it, or back it up from there.
If none of these steps have worked, it's time to either contact the manufacturer of your phone or your service provider.
To restart your Android device, hold down the power button for several seconds and select Restart from the menu that appears. If that doesn’t work, do a hard restart by holding down both the power and volume up buttons for up to 20 seconds.
Android is known for its vast array of brands and models, spanning all budgets. Our favorites are the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra and Google Pixel 4a 5G.
Overall, iPhones are of better quality than Android phones. A premium-priced Android phone is about as good as the iPhone, but cheaper Androids are prone to issues. Android phones surpass the iPhone in several categories, like battery life and voice assistant—it’s all about the features that are most important to you.
