Hello

Phone was being used then went blank.

Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G, note sure what SW versions.

Phone vibrates when connected to a charger.

PC beeps if connected to phone.

(Under Device management shows up as Samsung Mobile USB Composite/Connectivity Device V2)

Dex doesn't recognise phone being connected.
Smart switch doesn't recognise the phone being connected.

(Using emergency software recovery and initialisation doesn't show up, using initialisation says please check connection. Emergency recovery asks fo code I do not know)

Power and Volume down 20sec just vibrate once

Power and Volume up and long vibrate

Both black screen

No Physical damage just scratched screen.

Phone connected to wifi says router/find my phone only shows last connection on timeline.

Calling phone just rings out

Not sure what steps to take now

Thank you

Hi @Soltakr, at this point, I'd recommend having your phone physically inspected by an engineer. If you're based in the UK, you can arrange a repair here. If you need further assistance, you can locate the contact details to reach support here.

How much would diagnostic cost?

I'm in Coventry, think nearest Samsung centre Birmingham or Leicester.
Thank you.

So checked and only option is screen replacement for 280. Not sure if Mrs wants to pay that.

As for my issue. This seems to be a not so common issue with having a Black Screen. As the phone is on I was hoping to back it up. So post suggested connecting to tv. Done that but presented with lockscreen with lock icon and time.

On my S20 ultra I plug in cable, tap anywhere to unlock and use thumb. On the Black death Note 20 nothing, thumbprint doesn't work or swiping, tapping or pen. Any other way to unlock?

Thanks

Right so using dock I have connected to tv. Off another forum, use keyboard and hit space bar then Pin and phone unlocked. Backing up phone at the moment.

No way of removing fingerprint and lockscreen in Dex?

I don't want to leave this setup at the moment while it's backing up/working.

Edit: exited Dex and removed fingerprints. So should be easier assess.
Thanks

So phone was left for a few days. Mrs didn't want to pay 280 from Samsung and 180 from phone shop for new screen as she back to her huawei.

I picked up the phone to box it away and I pressed the power button for ol times sake.

And the mofo turned on to show the 0% battery and recharge icon. Its on charge for 10min and it boots up and loaded just fine.

What the he'll samsung?

So not faulty screen it's OS then? Think it died to 0% only 2 times.
Thanks
