Galaxy S22's: Black Screen? Won't Turn On? Easy Fixes!

I show you how to fix a Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ or S22 smartphone that has a black screen even though you know the phone is on. So the phone is on but the screen or display won't turn on. Remember if you tried every step and still no go, then try every step a 2nd time, 3rd, try it up to 7 times as many times with 7th time is a charm. If this worked for you plz LIKE and comment which step worked for you and DISLIKE this video if this did not work for you. Good Luck!

The unfortunate thing about repeatedly hitting the power button is that it ended up sounding the alarm and calling 911.

Dude! I don't know which one it was - massage, tap or smack. LoL, I did all of them. I was spanking that phone like it owed me money...Then did the restart. My phone is Back!!! You are my new Hero!

Like many others here. I just bought my phone yesterday and within 8 hours, I got the black screen of death. I was dismayed that when I woke up this morning, and it was still there. But thank God for Youtube and people like you. The first method worked for me. Although, I am happy this method worked, I am disappointed about getting problems like this so early on. I am new to Samsung, although an Android user, and have never come across this problem. Samsung really needs to do a better job of fixing what it obviously a common issue.

HOLY POOP!! i was on vacation, dropped phone on ground, black screen. i THOUGHT my screen(cracked) had gone completely out. i was in the middle of setting up an old phone when i came up on this video. DUDE LIFE gave a HUGE LIKE! Also, anyone got any idea on why this happens? when i was doing the rubbing method, i felt a CLICK. what was it??? it was around the middle of back.??

Did not expect the massaging step to work, but after 10 minutes of trying, boom. Thanks a lot!

I was so hesitant but after trying every step with no avail...I placed it in the freezer, attempting the reset did not work immediately out of the freezer but once the phone cooled back to room temperature, I plugged it in and the phone displayed the charging icon. YES! I held the power button and the volume button down at the same time and it came on. Thanks!

I was skeptical after one hour of trying, but after the 7th time, it worked! I had a black screen after I left my phone in the car for more than 2 hours directly under the sunlight. Came back to a black screen on my phone that did not go away even after charging and restarting. I think the freezer part helped my phone. Best of luck to all.

Great job. Phone was off for 3 days. Came across this video. After tapping and massaging and hitting the 911 button ( they called me, by the way) it came on after about 3 times. I was able to avoid the freezer step. I had a replacement phone sent. I may keep the replacement instead of keeping this one, just in case. Thanks for the help because I was hoping not to lose things saved to the phone. 🎉

Man you helped me a lot. SMH just got my phone a couple hrs ago and the screen went off and it didn't turn on. Man thanks, forgot about the reset buttons. Good looks! 👍

Sir how can we see the Samsung logo IF OUR PHONE IS BLACK SCREENED??

[Motivationalcup]

THANK YOU!!! Verizon did not know how to fix, Samsung did not know how to fix, and your simple instructions has corrected what I KNOW Samsung has marked as a know defect!!!

Thanks for this video as it shows many different techniques that can work for fixing a Black screen. I've had my S22 Ultra since the end of Feb and have never had any issues with it.
I believe I got some water in the area of the power button after I cleaned the phone with Windex. One minute the phone was working fine and then I started seeing the screen flicker with the horizontal gray lines. Then it just turned black with the occasional yellow bar at the top of the screen and occasionally some large yellow splotches near thr bottom of the screen. Restarting was impossible since the power button was not functioning.
The next thing I tried was to remove the screen protector since I did notice it was wet right near the power button and didn't want to chance and moisture being trapped in that area. Tapping and massaging the screen did nothing.
So I put the phone in the freezer for 30 minutes and the screen did function normally for 1 or 2 seconds. I then placed the phone back in the freezer for 30 additional minutes and then placed the phone in a box of white rice and didn't touch it all night for roughly 10 hours. Luckily the phone was working perfectly when I woke up. It's been fine so far.
So add the phone in rice technique since one little drop of water in the phone can wreck havoc on the digitizer, screen and power button functionality. So much for the S22 Ultra being water resistant.

Omg I was actually losing hope since none of your methods worked until you said to put it in the freezer. I was so skeptical of that one, but I tried it and IT WORKED! Thank you!

Hey Man, Thanks for an Awesome Video. I dropped my s22 and when I picked it up the screen was black. Plugged it into my tablet and it was on, and could tell it was on as it wanted to transfer my photos. Still with black screen, tried the reset, as you instructed, and it worked. Saw Samsung Logo and knew I was good to go. Had to do it 3 times. Thank You so much, for a great video that helped.

[aetherbolt]

It worked!! a few days ago, i dropped my phone and i could only use the s pen to use the screen. My fingers wouldn't work at all. So that was annoying, then earlier at work, my screen went black all of a sudden and i couldn't use the s pen at all either. I force restart the phone MANY times until i started doing the massage trick that you did in your phone, and i even smacked the phone a few times front and back and my phone screen came back on, and I can use my fingers again on the screen. Thank you! You just earned a sub!

[nicechad]

Man I thought you was just wasting my time but that freezer thing actually worked. You are a goat I really appreciate it

[ptrco]

The tapping and massaging definitely helped me. Many thanks 🙏🏾

[ABCDEFG-mydt]

I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone today, even though my phone is new! So happy this worked for me!! You saved the day, thank you!

[tanyapritchett]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I got up to the part where I had to keep smacking it and then I massaged it a little more before trying the force restart again. When I did the next force restart, I got the logo! Praise God! I prayed this morning to send me a solution and found this video before going somewhere to see how much it would be to replace the screen or get it fixed. I (like others I read here) had ordered a new phone (T-Mobile store didn't order screen and said wouldn't be able to back up if they couldn't get screen on and I have tons of stuff for my business and personal that wasn't backed up) so was desperately looking for a solution to be able to back up info (plugging in USB didn't work even though I'd done that in the past to get files from the phone; tried Smart Switch and that didn't work either). I'm so grateful to you for creating this video!😍😍❣❣😇😇🙏🏽🙏🏽
