Hi there,
Hoping someone can help me with the following!
I put my tablet in charge yesterday (everything was fine at this stage) but when I unplugged it 2-3 hours later, the screen is no longer working.
I know the tablet is on and working as I can unlock it using my fingerprint and can turn the volume up and down - the sound is working fine. The back and recents buttons are also still working and light up when pressed.
Anyone experienced this issue before or know how I can fix it?
Thanks
Aine
I have two SM-T815 - experienced the same on both. First I had it sent via Vodafone to Samsung for repair. When happened two weeks later with the second TabS2 I pulled out the SIM-card and suddenly the device worked as usual after having rebooted it.

Hi had my p1010 (wifi only) tab about 1 week (actually since saturday so only a few days)
Anyway on the first day after playing with it for a few hours I put it down for a bit and when I picked it up the screen wouldnt turn on. No buttons worked and it was as if it had no battery power. I pluged it in but nothing happened. Left it for a while and still nothing.
In the end I fixed it by holding a finger on the screen and holding the power button. The tab turned on and I still had installed programs but all settings had been lost and it looked as if it was its first boot. Also the home and search buttons no longer did anything apart from make the device vibrate. I had to do a factory reset to get the buttons working again.
And now it has happened again.
Does anyone know what is causing this? has it happened to you? Is my unit defective and should I get a replacement?
Thanks for your help
I've only had my P1010 for two weeks, but nothing like that has happened to mine (yet). If it were me I'd be calling Samsung for a replacement :-(

Hi Guys,
I have a frustrating situation whereby my Galaxy Note powers on but the screen appears to be in permanent sleep mode - I get nothing but black on the screen.
You can here the Samsung chime as the phone powers up, I can adjust the volume button and hear audible tones. I can also call the mobile from another phone so the underlying phone/OS is working fine.
I can also connect the device via Kies USB and copy images/music with no issues.
I have tried removing the battery and replacing, I have also tried giving the device a full charge however I still get nothing on the screen.
Does anyone know if it's possible to perform some kind of hardware reset to get the screen to power back on? If not I guess i'll need to return the unit
p.s. Stock Galaxy Note
Thanks v much
Jeremy
Same problem for me , i have test many ROM and kernel but i still get the black screen. it's generally when i haven't use my phone during a couple hours.
Same issue here. The screen remains black and not responsive to front button or power button. I still am able to hear notifications (e.g. calendar reminders, plug in power, etc.).
Long press of power button to reboot is the only solution I have found in order to clear.
First occurrence yesterday after owning note for 1 month.
Second occurrence today.
Stock device. No root. KL7.
No newly installed apps prior to first occurrence. I will cross-check to see if any apps updated yesterday.
I have also disabled Green Power.

and the phone wont respond

so i can select power off and then again switch on the phone

Hi all.
My note was replaced yesterday.screen now turns on fine however I'm greeted with a lively green hue and banding! Ha
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Hello, my power button stopped functioning properly after my device lost connection with my phone several times. Since then my power button doesn't react when pressed. However, long press works 50% of the time, so I can turn it on/off, but I can't double press the button to open an app or turn off the screen for instance. It's really strange. I haven't dropped or physically damaged the watch. I tried hard resetting it 3 times, but that didn't fix the issue. Everything on the watch works apart from the power button. The phone charges perfectly. Any ideas? Do you think this could be caused by a software or mechanical thing?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Same here
I got the exact same problem , I'm running on the last version of the Null_ Rom and my phone is a GalaxyS3 LTE (4G) with a custom official rom of 4.4.4 ( working with gear manager ).
I don't understand pls help
Hey, Has I said few weeks ago, I had the same problem has you, so I tried to change the motherboard, so I bought a new one one IFixIt and I just get it this morning, but when I tried to change the MB I get a little surprise, in fact the screen or the mother board have been flowed on the other one, I don't really understand what the hell happened in this watch but Screen and MB was sticky as fu**, so I'm just gonna try to change the screen, I let you know if it's work again for me in a week or two ( I'm living in France so It would be about 1 or 2 weeks shipping as the MB )
Hey, so today I just changed my screen and the Gear is working now !
So it seem that was a screen problem :silly:
Hi,
I got my Mi A2 about 3 or 4 days ago, and really love it, but today I set it down for a minute after using it, and it worked perfectly fine, and when I picked it up, the screen wasn't responding, so I tried restarting the phone and all it did was light up the screen, but it was all black, and turn off a minute later, but you can tell it would boot up because the phone would respond to me using the fingerprint sensor (by vibrating), and the notification LED would also light up when I went to charge it, along with vibrating when I held in the power button to restart. I tried messing around with it, and the screen turned on once, but was super glitchy and shuttered and jumped around before turning off again. When I boot it into fastboot mode the screen stays on (but the entire screen is all black, but you can tell the screen is lit), and it's recognized by my computer when I use fastboot commands. It's just especially weird, because I have not dropped the phone once, and I have kept the stock firmware and haven't rooted or unlocked the bootloader or anything yet. I can't tell if it's an issue where the device had a faulty screen or if the motherboard is the problem since the screen can turn on initially when booting up, but turns off a second later and won't come back on. I've contacted the seller I bought it from, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue because I don't want to run into the same thing again.
Thanks in advance!
Seems like the device has faulty hardware. From the facts you mentioned, it can be assumed that the problem lies with motherboard. It's better to get the piece replaced since you have recently purchased it.

I have the same issue. I got the device on Sunday morning by 11. I went to 6X MiUi 9 to MiUi 10 EU (Without firmware update) later returned back to A2 stock, set it up. Then was using the device, like copying files from otg etc. After that while phone was in use, suddenly screen went off with notification led working. I restarted to fastboot, no bunny but device is detected with fastboot commands. Only black slightly backlit (it seems) screen. Suspect issue with Ambient display(It was on) coz 2-3 times screen flickered while using from the time I got it.
I then went back to MiUi 9 to see if it was an issue with rom. I could feel phone turning on, vibrations, notification led etc. MiUi 9 was flashed successfully from Edl again and boot up shows same issue. I confirmed it is a hardware issue.
Returned to A2 stock rom (issue still persists), ordered a replacement device, returned the device on Monday, expecting replacement in 2-3 days as it is shipped now.
hi! I have the exact problem. May i know if you already fixed it ? Thanks
Hi guys
Just a quick one. Got a strange issue with the screen on my note 8 and just seeing if anyone has had the same issue or any idea on a fix.
Last week updated to the 9.0 beta and all seemed to be going well with no notable issues just a bit of lag here and there. However last night I turned my phone off and when I came to turn it back on this morning it started to boot as normal I entered my password successfully and it started to boot. As soon as the password registered and the unlocking pad lock appears it quickly shifts to the bottom right hand corner instead of the centre as normal. The phone continues to boot and from then on the screen just goes black and is unresponsive. The handset is on cause people can still ring, notifications still get received and all the hardware buttons make noise as if they are working. The screen will just not turn on. If I try doing a soft reboot with the power and volume down I can start the phone and the Samsung logo comes up as normal and the pin screen as normal but as soon as I enter my pin the same issue happens. If I hold the power button on its own to turn off the phone the multi menu (reboot, power off, emergency) all briefly appear but are enlarged and sitting on the right of the screen.
Any ideas guys, cheers.
Try reinstalling Oreo back onto it. It could be an issue with the Beta Version of Pie that you installed on your device.
The beta software is intended for this very purpose, you found a problem, then you report it to the releaser to be fixed, the creators of the software are the ones that will evaluate and improve the software, you see, it did not work for you, just try to reinstall it, if the issue persists, provide feedback to samsung, and flash a stable firmware
Possibly this bug Pie Beta + Secure Startup + WQHD = Black Screen?
It happened to me too. I installed over my existing UAE firmware with Indian one then the one ui update. After reboot got the same blank screen issue. I then did a factory reset and everything is back to normal for the last couple of days with improved battery life probably due to the reason that many region specific Samsung app like Samsung pay doesn't work.
So had a bit more of a play when I got chance and I managed to resolve the issue. Still being hit with the same problems for some reason I tried unlocking the phone again but sideways (don't ask not sure why) and the screen unlocked. From then on phone worked completely normal until next reboot. Same thing every time until I hold phone on its side and unlock with the fingerprint reader.
I've since reverted back to 8.0 and sent feedback over. I'm gonna try testing again weekend see if I have same luck.
Cheers for the replies guys, hope anyone else has this issue the comes across this.
you must disable secure start up
I had the same issue after updating to beta 1 with secure boot enabled. I wiped the phone and it started as it should, since I couldn't unlock the phone even with fingerprint. I noticed that the screen was only showing for few seconds the 1/4 of the image (unlock sim with PIN).
