In this latest installment of our troubleshooting series, we will tackle the Samsung Galaxy A30 Black Screen of Death issue.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy A30 or any other Android device for that matter, we will be more than happy to assist you with any concern that you may have with your device.

We, however, ask that when you do contact us try to be as detailed as possible so that an accurate assessment can be made and the correct solution can be given.

One problem which can occur on your phone is when its display does not work which is often referred to as the Black Screen of Death issue. This particular problem is characterized by the phone screen being completely black and you may or may not receive notifications, calls, or text messages on the device. What we will be doing right now is to check if the problem is caused by a software glitch. Follow the troubleshooting steps listed below to fix the problem.

Make sure the phone is fully charged

What you will want to do first is to make sure that the battery has sufficient charge. This will eliminate the possibility of the problem being caused by a drained battery.

Clean the charging port of the phone using a can of compressed air making sure to remove any dirt or debris stuck in it.
Fully charge the phone with a charging cord and wall charger that have been tested to work on another device.
If the phone does not charge with a wall charger then try charging the device from a computer USB port.

Once the battery is fully charged check if the Samsung Galaxy A30 Black Screen of Death issue still occurs.

Perform a soft reset

Sometimes the problem can be caused by corrupted temporary data. You should try to refresh the phone software by doing a soft reset. This will usually resolve the issue caused by minor software glitches.

Press and hold the Power and Volume down key for up to 45 seconds.
Wait as the device restarts.

Check if the issue still occurs.

Start the phone in Safe Mode

There are instances when an app you downloaded from the Google Play Store can cause this particular issue. This can happen if the app has bugs or has compatibility issues with your device. To check if this is the case you will have to start the phone in Safe Mode as only the pre-installed apps are allowed to run in this mode.

Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key past the screen with the device name.
When ‘SAMSUNG’ appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see ‘Safe Mode’.

If the issue does not occur in this mode then it is most likely caused by an app you downloaded. Find out what app this is and uninstall it.

Finding a particular app will need a trial and error method. Uninstall the most recent app you downloaded then check if the issue still occurs. Repeat this step until the issue no longer occurs. The last app you uninstalled is most likely the culprit.

Wipe the cache partition

There are instances when a corrupted system cached data can cause this problem. It’s, therefore, a good idea to delete this data as the phone will just rebuild this data when it starts again.

Turn off the phone.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
When the device logo screen displays, release only the Power key
When the Android logo displays, release all keys (‘Installing system update’ will show for about 30 – 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
Press the Volume down key several times key to highlight ‘wipe cache partition.’
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight ‘yes’ and press the Power key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, the ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.

Check if the Samsung Galaxy A30 Black Screen of Death issue still occurs.

Perform a factory reset

One last troubleshooting step to consider is a factory reset. This will bring your phone back to its original factory condition. Take note that your phone data will be deleted in the process.

Turn off the phone.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
When the device logo screen displays, release only the Power key
When the Android logo displays, release all keys (‘Installing system update’ will show for about 30 – 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
Press the Volume down key several times key to highlight ‘wipe data/factory reset.’
Press the Power button to select.
Press the Volume down key until ‘Yes — delete all user data’ is highlighted.
Press the Power button to select and start the master reset.
When the master reset is complete, the ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
With no apps installed on the phone, try to check if the issue still occurs.

If the above steps don’t fix the problem then you will need to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked as this is most likely caused by a faulty hardware component already.
