IMPORTANT Note: do Not press your power button more then 4 times in a row if you have sos emergency enabled it will call your emergency SOS line like in USA it’s 911.
I show you how to fix a Google Pixel 5a phone that has a black screen and the display won't turn on. Even-though the screen won't turn on you know the phone is on as you can get phone calls, notification sounds, vibrate etc. Remember if you tried every step and still no go then try ever step again 2, 3, up to 7 times. If you tried every step at least 7 times we should see at least a 75% LIKE Ratio. If after 7 times still no go then DISLIKE this video so every one can see. Good Luck!

My pixel has the black screen of death. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT, press the power button repeatedly in an attempt to reboot your phone. When I did this, a loud alarm sounded from my phone and next I was connected with a 911 emergency dispatcher. Apparently, pushing the power button repeatedly calls 911.

I've had two Pixel 5as with screen failures in the span of a month, this didn't work but I think the digitizers failed. I'm so angry, Google designed the perfect phone for me. Perfect form factor, rear fingerprint scanner, powerful enough to do everything I need it to do, great battery life. All except that their screens are faulty. If you're reading this, you're probably dealing with the same failure. Try the methods above, but if it doesn't work, avoid the Pixels. Don't support Google when they make such delicate little creatures. I'm just so frustrated.

I won't lie, I have no idea if all the tapping/smacking/massaging suggestions are legitimate. But my 5a did black-screen today (100% battery charged, just pulled it from my pocket after getting to my room at work and wouldn't cycle on). I kept trying to hold the power but didn't hold it long enough it seems. My google logo popped on at the exact same time as yours on step 1. I didn't have a charging cable with me in my room since the battery lasts days and charges to full in the car ride to/from work. Big thanks. Can't believe I didn't hold the power long enough.

tried all these multiple times last night. First one worked almost immediately then after loading in, it did it almost instantly again. Hasn't turned on since. After going through all steps now it doesn't vibrate when noticing my biometric or pressing the power button like it did. Also didn't get warm when on charger all night. Now its sitting next to me uncharged for an hour and still warm. Tried using find my device to push a call through but it can't find my device. Tried removing and reinserting sim, nothing. Old Pixel won't turn on either. My favorite part though is when selecting what is wrong to file a claim it says its all good and covered though I'd imagine I'll lose everything because I'll be getting a replacement (I'd rather go to to a store than mail) when entering the IMEI google says they don't have a contract with me. Amazing.

Currently waiting for it in the freezer, but based on all the reactions under this video im willing to give it a few tries. Also live in a european country which isnt covered by google device support so i was told multiple times to go stuff myself on the phone- albeit in a friendly way. Anyway. Hope you get it fixed.

i did everything mention up there, still frozen. i thought my phone was broken for good. But after trying for 30min, holding the power and UP volume did restart the phone. I then did a clean wipe from bootloader and i am now reinstalling my phone like a brand new phone. The screen works perfectly. So it seems that a OS or software issue can make your screen looks like it's missing some cables :). I would not suggest NOT to slam or massage your phone too much as on mine it made the keyboard not work well anymore. The rest of the phone is running perfectly.

Brand new Pixel 5a with the matching Google phone case. This thing literally fell about 12" from my sweatpants pocket onto the concrete. The bottom right corner took the impact and now there's a tiny little crack in the glass in that corner (looks like there must be more than one layer of glass because the crack doesn't seem to be on the outside glass layer). I tried everything in this video and nothing helped. No, I'm not doing it seven times, or even twice. I'm gonna have to mail the phone back and get a replacement. Interestingly, the phone this Pixel 5a replaced was a $50 Chinese ZTE piece of junk, but that piece of junk survived at least 50 such 12" falls with no case, and it even survived a roughly 50ft fall onto asphalt that caused it to blow apart. I pieced it back together, minus the buttons (which I couldn't find), and okay, I had to use a pen or corner of a credit card to stick in the holes on the side (where the buttons used to be) in order to make it light up so I could use it, but it continued to function. So, in terms of durability, I have to say that the $50 Chinese piece of junk was far superior to the Pixel 5a. Rather disappointing.

@@JS-xk3sp Yes, they did, but I had paid for the protection/insurance when I bought it, which gives me two replacements per year if something happens (assuming it's covered, which this was). However, there is a roughly $100 deductible for any accident you claim, which I know is just like any other insurance, but I hadn't read the terms carefully and so I didn't know about the deductible until the rep told me. Free shipping on the return and replacement, and they sent the replacement super fast (next day air, I think it was?). So . . . all good but it did cost me 100 bones. Did you buy the insurance, by chance?

@@douglaspark3419 hey exactly the same situation in facing right now. What adds to my misery is I am from India, and since pixel 5a wasn't even launched in India (I bought an imported one from amazon), I can't even repair this phone here. I would have to send this to Japan/US, and I am still figuring out the process. I bought it JUST LAST MONTH. There is just minute damage on the inside layer of the bottom right of the screen (which is not even visible) but the display is goneeeee.

@@anitajain4086 I'm sorry to hear that. It's a good phone but a lot of people seem to have this one problem. I hope you are able to get it fixed without spending too much money or time. Your situation is definitely a little more complicated than mine due to your location. I wish you the best of luck, Anita. :-)
