At present, black screen of phone will appear occasionally, whether it is an Android phone or an iPhone. Generally speaking, the reasons why the phone cannot be turned on are complicated, but it is nothing more than these two situations: hardware and software.
It is mostly a hardware problem if caused by external forces, such as falling, pressing, watering, overheating; it must be a software or system problem, if you download some software, delete some system files, or fail to boot after flashing. Therefore, if the black screen appears in terms of mobile phone, how should we solve it? I have listed the situations where black screen appears and methods of iPhone and Android phone to solve this problem, respectively.
Black Screen of Android Phone

1. The phone responds when it is turned on
These are all signs of abnormal boot for such situation: there are vibrations and sounds when the phone is turned on, but the screen is dark; the phone is stuck on the LOGO interface and cannot enter the operation interface after the phone is turned on; or the phone can enter the normal interface and click anything, without reactions.
Solution One: Check the phone battery.
It proves that the battery is still working if the phone responds when turned on. Apart from battery aging and water damage, battery problems can be ruled out.
Where the battery is aging, you can try with a battery of the same model. If it can be turned on normally, then replace it with a new battery; where it is turned on before the water is dry, it will cause a short circuit to battery so that the phone can only operate for a while. It is only one or two days for a phone having water damage to become dry, after which you can try to turn it on with a new battery.
If the battery is dead or enters a deep sleep state (not used for a long time), charge it for half an hour and then turn it on again. If not, press and hold the power button for more than 11 seconds and try it again.
Solution Two: Check the phone screen.
Where the screen in terms of phones, especially those unsteadily soldered, fails to respond due to external force damages, the black screen is easily to appear.
At this time, you can tap the phone and take a few more shots. If the screen of the phone flashes from time to time, it means that the phone is just a certain circuit problem. You just need to disassemble the phone and find the disconnected solder joints and re-solder them. When turned on, with normal vibration and sound but the screen does not respond, this situation must be considered first.
Solution Three: check if you can enter recovery
Both of the above two solutions are hardware problems, but the phone cannot be turned on normally may be caused by software or system problems.
If the phone is just stuck on the LOGO screen or cannot be operated after booting into the interface, press and hold both the power button and the volume down button to check whether the phone can enter recovery. If it is able to do this and the cursor is to be moved through volume button, you can consider flashing to solve this problem. If it cannot be moved through the volume button after entering recovery, you have to take the final solution, namely, brushing the official upgrade package, which is equivalent to an official mandatory upgrade, and the phone can be operated as long as it responds.
2. No response when pressing the power button
Solutions
- Check the battery and power button by the same way as the above solution one.
- Check whether you can enter recovery or official upgrade mode, the method is as above solution three.
- Send it to a repair center.
