Galaxy Tab A8: Black Screen? Won't Turn On? Easy Fixes!

I show you how to fix a black screen issue where the screen will not turn on even-though you know your Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 is on. Try each possible fix. If you tried every step and still black screen (blank screen) then try every step a 2nd time, if no go again then try a 3rd time try up to at least 7 times if you have too. If you tried each step at least 7 times then we should see at least a 75% Like ratio. So if this worked for you plz LIKE and comment which step worked for you so others can see a well. Good Luck!

Went through the cycle three times with no luck but on the fourth attempt, hallelujah it worked!! Thank you so much 👏👏👏👏

[@quilterine2129]

Thank you!!! Fixed in 10 seconds by fix #1, holding down both buttons. So kind of you to share.

[@noworriesnailart]

I've only had my A8 for about 2 weeks or so and came home to a black screen today. Thank you so much for this video!!!! The second fix worked for me.

[@user-bd1up8sl6d]

Thank you soo much! Was online with Samsung for a long time and they eventually said I would need to buy a new one. It stayed black. Your third and fourth options made it work! You are awesome!

[@MargieDuerr]

Wow. Taking the case off and the restart procedure totally worked!! 🤯 Thank you so much!!! (my device was charged to 100%)

[@bryana565]

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU. AFTER A YEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN IT ON, IT WORKED. the smack method got it lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@CarpathianShepherd]

This worked! (so far!) I went through the steps in order and it sputtered back to life after the massage. Then I got some half-black screens and flickering, so I whacked it and now it seems to be working. Thanks so much!

[@Mindlord-to9wm]

Loved 😍 the whacked it. Bit faqued descriptive at the same time. I like 👍🏿 that better than the SMACK! 😅😅

[@Eeecee19669]

Thank you!! Worked. Tablet would vibrate multiple times, like it was turning on, but still black screen. Held it longer as a last resort before pulling off the back cover. It worked!!

[@lanabanana8093]

thank you so much I watched other videos and read instructions but nothing worked so I started losing hope until I came on the 2nd step🥰

[@miketheman08]

The tapping and the button reset combo fixed mine. Thank you.

[@sophiemahan3219]

Same!

[@twxnty_]

Did you keep your data

[@marthaurbina6305]

Same😂

[@HiMokshith]

Same

[@mialily206]

Hi the tapping method 💪 thank you. I finally got the circle icon ( showing charging)not just the "lightening bolt", thank you dude.

[@glynisgordon3997]

Thank you so much!! Turns out the battery was totally flat and the tablet refused to turn on, even with the charger pugged in for hours. Your double pressing of the buttons did the trick, we are so grateful 🙂

[@sarahtonks8224]

THANK YOU!! my Tablet restarted itself and then it had black screen and would not charge or turn on or off... this has worked brilliantly and I'm now back in business

[@bilalzahid8709]

I salute you dude,your fix trick saved my A8, i was about to go to samsung to claim warranty,but you saved me alot of time and money as well. Well done dude. Thank you very much a hundred times

[@twxnty_]

It still hasn’t worked for me 😅

[@SuhaibPatel]

Same 😢

[@sweekruthsadu4946]

Same

[@carlosguerra4039]

Thank you! The freezer method worked for me but just for a short period of time, probably some internal connection is not right, going to try the tapping method again.

[@pablomontenegro6768]

Llévate mi like!! Revivió mi tablet gracias a tus consejos

[@abisuriyha1577]

My Samsung tab is working now after following some of your instructions. It really saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you so much😊

[@peterwicks9851]

Thank you Worldoftech, tab fired up straight away and is now working, panic over!! I now know where to go with my tablet problems 👍🏻

[@friendnamedjane8686]

WOW!! I can’t believe this really worked! THANK YOU!! I’ve been trying to get it to turn on for nearly 2 weeks. I had bought a new charger and tried all the reset buttons but I got nothing but a black screen with a circle showing it was 100% charged. I was about to drive 17 miles to a Samsung store to get it fixed when all it needed was to be smacked around 😂😂😂😂….I guess technology also needs an attitude adjustment here and there.

[@davidessandoh476]

Wow I just did the second option which is the power button and lower volume and it came back on. Really worked. Many thanks

[@ares7187]

Been trying to fix my tablet for a week. This video is gold. Thank you!!!!!

[@dwaynearmstrong4157]

[@mr.a1033]

Great 👍🏽 info & did fix the issue! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

[@yolandaweakley9228]

Thank you!! The massaging and tapping worked for me!! Wow

[@user-pp2wm9jr2m]

Tried the freezer fix for 15 min and it fixed it! Thanks! It saved me from buying a new tablet.

[@roland-if4zx]

i did that and it worked .But turning it off made it poo itself again ,3 times already. after turning back on the battery was flat overnight . beginning to think samsung are crap .

[@gab-xs4eq]

My tablet is not opening for weeks and i watch this and i try the tapping and button reset combo and it works thank you very much you save my life

[@SynteconlineAuSupplements]

I'll keep this short...I love, love, LOVE this tablet. kzbin.infoUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS The picture quality is amazing and there are so many features that this technodino can't wait to learn! My only (very, very minor) complaint is that I ordered this in bronze and they sent me black. Yes, it should have been corrected, but we were only in country for a short period of time and I didn't want to run the risk of not getting a new one in time. I'm such a fan of Samsung Galaxy tablets that I'd rather suck it up than lose out on having it. In the big scheme of things, this rates an irritant factor of .0000000001 out of 1000. In other words, I'm not looking at the colors when I use it, so I got over it very easily.

[@estelamolina2238]

THANK YOU I WAS SO WORRIED THAT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON You deserve a like

[@tommcdonald53]

Thanks so much, nothing worked until I massaged with a lens cleaner! You are fantastic and fixed all our tables ❤🎉

[@donnievail]

I can't believe that this worked (the finger tap/massage method) but it really did. You are a lifesaver!

[@charissebugais4336]

Thank you so much for this. But why does this happen? It stresses me so much because my tab is still new. 😅

[@arianeiglesias4253]

Same.. I only used my tab A8 in just 1 day.. and that day I'm so worried. And I press the power button ,then after that, my tab is open,when I swipe the screen ,huh😔😔 unresponsive..it tooks more than a minute before it turn it back to normal.. This is my first Day..

[@dark.acad.pj3]

Oh man thr force restart buttons literally saved me!! Just a big thank u ❣️

[@Dogday323]

Thank you so much the first method worked where you had to try restart it and it showed the samsung logo and fixed

[@Dominator9572]

I tried prying/heating my screen off to replace my USB power port. I started on the wrong area near the screen board(opposite USB port side). It separated the board from the screen and I also had a bubble expanding crack. I just bought a new screen to replace. Plugged it in and blank, and only makes charge sound. After this video, I'll try some of these tricks. Is this tablet this crappy? Smacking, freezer, and massaging? Is there an issue with the spring contacts inside not making contact? Just Did the hold reset. YESSSSSSS!!!!! It came back to life. This thing has stressed me out. I thought it was me. Thank you so much!!!

[@lisak3159]

I'm in the exact same boat as you but no luck. I don't want to glue screen back down until I get it to turn on. , 😞

[@ramans8856]

Thanks a lot sir. Perfect. My tab started working screen opening by your guidelines Excellent.
