I appreciate any responses anyone has to help
Ok so i have my sisters samsung galaxy tab4 ( sm-t230nu ) which she brought to me today.
Her screen went black, lights up and all but it stays black in color. Up down volume buttons work and u can hear them working, power button works, turns screen on and off, TOUCH SCREEN WORKS, on certain areas u can hear the noise it makes when u tap on the screen and apps. I pressed the power button alone for it to restart, it restarts but does not show samsung tab logo or anything at all just lit up black screen. I even went on YouTube to memorize the hard reset sequence of buttons u have to press in order to complete the reset and i did manage to hard reset. But screen is still booting up on a lit black screen. I removed the back cover, unplugged the battery and tried booting it up and still nothing. BTW its full factory, no root roms or anything of the sort. I need help on what could be the problem. Only thing i believe might have caused this was a recent update on the system. My sister said a few days ago it gave her a notification about it and she clicked on yes. I dont know what version of android it had nor which it had updated to. Please help. Tablet is not that old. Thanks. If anything email me directly at [email protected] thanks

Have you tried getting into recovery or download mode? If those show, it's likely fixable. If you can get to recovery mode, it usually shows what firmware is on it. If that works, trying using ODIN to reinstall that firmware in download mode. If not, it sounds like a hardware problem. If it's not that old, it may be under manufacturer warranty still. Good luck.
Try to reseat the LCD cable, if it doesn't work, you may need to change the LCD. Search Ebay for LCD only or full LCD assembly if you're not comfortable to take out the touchscreen.

If tab has warranty claim warranty. I think this is a hardware issue.
It won't turn on it will just vibrate briefly and show the Samsung splashscreen then black screen and nothing else. It won't show the charging screen either just vibrates briefly every 3 seconds or so. Also can't boot into recovery mode does the same thing as when trying to turn on. Help please?

Try going to download mode and if it worked go back to stock ROM and try a ROM that is actually compatible with your device
Hi everyone!
I'm having something similar to black screen of death problem. When I turn on my phone, it's working until I lock it.
When I try to unlock it, my screen is black and only the buttons at the bottom and the notification LED is working.
I've tried pulling out the battery and the sd card and holding the power button for 1 minute, and many different variations of this method, but it didn't work.
I'm running on CM 13.0 but it happens on every ROM.
Please help :crying:
This happens on a the latest stock ROM too? If yes, sounds like a hardware problem.
Hello guys, my Nokia 6.1 Plus has developed a weird problem. When I turn on the phone the screen lights up as normal, displaying the androidone logo followed by the NOKIA logo before proceeding to the homescreen where it operates as normal. However, when I press the power button to turn the display off or when the display times out and goes off it doesn't wake up. It remains dark when I double tap on the screen or when I press the power button. The screen turns on but remains dark as I can feel it vibrate and respond to touch when I touch anywhere on the screen. I basically have to restart the phone to get it working again. The phone is basically unusable as I can't have the screen stay on all the time for me to use it.
What might be causing the problem and what can I do to remedy it?
Try to backup your important data and perform a factory reset.
May b it's hardware problem
My Galaxy S8 64GB suddenly froze up and then went into a bootloop. Restarted couple of times and then black screen – with the LED notification light flashing blue. I haven’t been able to reboot or shut down. Volume down plus power button didn’t help either. Please help. I need to get this to turn on and recover data from this phone.
Please help.
