Samsung A70 wont reset

[Dave Derrick]

I have a Samsung A70, and am trying to reset it. It shut down a few days ago, for reasons unknown. I'm trying to reboot the phone by holding down the Power button with the Volume Down. After 10 seconds, I just get a screen full of random coloured pixels, like white noise. Nothing then happens. How can I reset the phone ?

Thank you.

Try googling the problem. There's a tiny hole at the bottom of the phone (between charging port and speaker) Someone told me a long time ago putting a pin in there can reset the phone (not sure how true this is so I would look it up just in case)

Just googled it.... it's actually a speaker don't put a pin in it

No its a microphone 😂 it is not a reset port!

@shazzkid yeah, I realised that after I'd googled it. Had a look at the problem, there is a way to reset the phone, but it's quite long. Requiring lots of button pressing. Techspot, tells you how to do it. There's probably a tutorial on YT that shows you how to do it as well.
