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 .
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!
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..
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.
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!!!
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!
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
THANK YOU! Your tips worked when nobody else's did! My tablet had died and I didn't use it in months and it would not come on despite how much I charged it. I got it on finally with the tapping and massage. Once it was on, it was at 1% charge despite charging for hours. It was like in a dormant stage. Now it's charging and working. Strange.
My tablet's been blank from yesterday and couldn't get it to turn on or even charge. Pressing on the power and volume down made it work again. Thanks much
thank you so much. i got it right in the first time i almost run to the store and claim my waranty. man i wished you all the best and good luck on everything. i mean it. seriously hope you are happy as well
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤ It is the second time that your instructions have helped me to resuscitate my poor old Samsung tablet! God bless You!!!🙏🤗❤️👏💐
Thank you so much. My 4 year old was a mess crying. She had her tablet laying next to her when it went black. We both thank you so much. Your a life saver.
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 🙂
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
I thought the tapping method was kind a make no sense...but nooooo, it does really work..im speechless... THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for this video... my tablet was different brand yet this method does work for it as well.THANK YOU SO MUCH
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!!
Apparently my tablet just wanted to be smacked because that's exactly what did the trick. I have absolutely no idea how and why that worked but i thank you from the bottom of my heart, magic man.
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.
Summer heat right now is no joke and my other half forgot his tab inside the car, the next day it doesn't want to turn on anymore. Omg! Thank you very much for this video, mahalo Nui Loa🙇♀️🤙

Yo this worked. I habe been trying to get this thing to work again for a year. It happened once before when I was in tha hospital, but this time seemed final. I beat it, massaged it, beat it some more, reset 10 or so times in between all tha love taps. I was about to stick it in tha freezer and I smacked it real good one more time... It has come back to life. Amazing.
After trying all these methods I though this was a prank. Ready to try the freezer method and out of frustration gave it one last slap and the screen came on. Thank you 😊
Hey I mean this with every fiber of my being...Thank you so very much..my daughter was really bummed about her tablet ..you brought it back to life🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you , it worked just before I was about to put it in the freezer. I am wondering too why this happens and wonder if the new casing I’ve got is draining the battery (magnetic closure on the casing). At this stage I am deeply regretting getting this NEW Samsung Tab, should have kept to Apple.
Thanku so much 🥺🥺🥺,it bought 2 days ago and today suddenly screen black out this gives me shock and depression, but thanks alot , finally it open after pressing volume and lock key together ,you are like angel for helping me 🥺🥺❤️❤️,thanku 3000
Went through the cycle three times with no luck but on the fourth attempt, hallelujah it worked!! Thank you so much 👏👏👏👏
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😊
Tried the freezer fix for 15 min and it fixed it! Thanks! It saved me from buying a new tablet.
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 .
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!
Loved 😍 the whacked it. Bit faqued descriptive at the same time. I like 👍🏿 that better than the SMACK! 😅😅
Thank you!!! Fixed in 10 seconds by fix #1, holding down both buttons. So kind of you to share.
Thank you so much for this. But why does this happen? It stresses me so much because my tab is still new. 😅
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..
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.

I thought the massage method was silly and was the one that actually worked... many thanks for this!
The tapping and the button reset combo fixed mine. Thank you.
Same!
Did you keep your data

Yes your methods worked. Thank you so much. Many times I used it with wet hands. I believe water got in.
Your great.
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🥰

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!!!
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. , 😞
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm an Indian became so worried when my screen gone black . Tnq so much ❤❤❤
Been trying to fix my tablet for a week. This video is gold. Thank you!!!!!
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!
Thank you! I couldn't believe it when my screen came back after a massage. My 8 year old is relieved he's no longer in trouble too!
Wow. Taking the case off and the restart procedure totally worked!! 🤯 Thank you so much!!! (my device was charged to 100%)
Did that problem persist or never happened again?
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
Wow I just did the second option which is the power button and lower volume and it came back on. Really worked. Many thanks
THANK YOU! Your tips worked when nobody else's did! My tablet had died and I didn't use it in months and it would not come on despite how much I charged it. I got it on finally with the tapping and massage. Once it was on, it was at 1% charge despite charging for hours. It was like in a dormant stage. Now it's charging and working. Strange.
The “massage” method ended up working for me.
Great video. Thanks for helping

Cannot Get the Screen To Come On...

I Want To Bring tablet Up So I can do Factory Reset Which Should Remove All Configuration Info
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Wow!!!
I removed Book Cover...
Started Tapping on Front & Back...
It came on & battery had 99% charge...
How does tapping cause screen to come on...
Please do not delete this video...
I'm going to save it...
Thank You For Making This Video...
When you suggested taping it, I wasn't going to do it at first because I've never ever seen any of my phones, laptops or tablets require that...
But it worked...
I think I also squeezed front & back & that's when screen came on...
Why Does Tablet Lock Up Like That & Become Completely Non-Responsive?
Why Does Tapping & squeezing get it to respond again? 🤔
Correction,
It was the wiping of front screen with paper towel while pressing that made it screen come on...
Is this something that reoccur?
Or is this one time....
