- ***UPDATE 2 10/23/18: Push VOLUME DOWN + POWER at the same time to restart your phone. If it has ZERO power it will not restart. Instead, use the wireless charger and leave on there for a while. Then plug in the phone as it's left on the wireless charger at the same time, and do the Volume Down + Power restart. Once it restarts, shut it down immediately and let it charge until 20% minimum. After this procedure, you will be able to see the amount of % charged on screen with the PHONE TURNED OFF.
*** UPDATE 1:
This dead battery recovery procedure works for Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+
***Here is a recommended wireless charger (use a compatible one): amzn.to/2FUOcJI
This is a solution to getting your Galaxy Note 8 to charge again after the battery is drained to 0%. This is an issue that is now acknowledged by Samsung. They are offering replacements on a case by case basis. The only problem with that is that if you bought a new phone, you end up getting a refurbished one. And that to me is not acceptable. Here is the link: www.androidauthority.com/sams...
Please leave me comments and/or questions below and I will respond to help you fix yours.

Man, you are *_such_* a life saver! I was ready to replace my s9 (which has been a great phone so far) you saved me about $800 man. You really deserve more subscribers, thank you so much!
This worked!! I was ready to buy a new phone :-/ Could not get phone to charge. I did the wireless charger and and plug in you showed and finally got the charge circle. Left it a while and eventually the red charge light showed and it powered up! Gotta love what you can find on youtube! Thank you sooo much for posting!!!!
You're a lifesaver. My note 8 didn't want to charge on me this morning and kept plugging it in till I thought my electricity went out, but that was not the problem. After you had mentioned that a wireless charger would fix it, it did. I had never really used my wireless charger in years, but as soon as I set it on top, it booted right up and started charging. Thank you so much!!!
It worked!! You're the only one that gave us the actual fix. Thank you so much.
It worked!!!!! My last phone had the same issues. Service rep at US Cellular said phone was fried. I had to buy a new phone. Pretty sad when they don’t know about this tip. Thanks!!!!!
OMG this video is such a life saver. I was on my phone with it plugged in the car charger when it died. I came to plug it in the house but didn't realize it was charging until I tried to turn it on. I put it in rice and everything nothing worked. I ran across your video and wen to Walmart to get a wireless charger.( couldnt wait to get it from amazon needed it asap) At first it just showed the circle and lighting bolt. I left it on longer and now its showing that its charging!! Thank you so much!!
I'm glad it was able to help you! This happened to me while traveling to Big Bear Mountain and I needed to conduct some business. And that's where I posted it from as I was so pissed with Samsung. I really had NO choice but to figure out a solution. I had some stuff on my phone that I would never be able to get back at that time.
How long before you noticed it was charge ring. I too saw the circle with lightening bolt but it's not therenow
My husband Samsung Galaxy 8 note died and would not charge. I found this video and told him to do it. He was reluctant to do so. But finally give in. And it worked!! Most hacks dont work but this does! Thanks for the video 👍
thank youuuuuuuu so much. I was devastated without my phone. Thank you much for not being selfish and sharing this. it really does help. i did exactly like you told me and it works I can't thank you enough.
I'm very glad that I was able to help! Thanks for the comment!!
@@walexander81 how long you have to live on the wireless charger for
Tried this method today and it worked for me! Very clutch man thank you lol. For those of you wondering, you dont need that exact model for the wireless charging part. I borrowed a friends wireless charger and it was one of the round samsung ones and I plugged that into the outlet and placed the note 8 on there then plugged in the actual USB type C charger in while it was plugged into the outlet as well and it slowly charged until the red light at the top left turned on. After it reached about 4% I took the phone off the wireless charging pad and turned it on with the type-c still plugged in and didn't need to boot my phone or anything. Good luck :)
Amazing, thank you for your detailed comments!!
Just thank you. I plugged the cable and the wireless at the same time and left it for approximately 8 minutes then it starts working again. I left it till it juiced up then start using it again. I thought I'm going to lose everything on my phone but YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
I'm glad you were able to rescue all your digital stuff. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks Alex... Your recommendation worked on my Note8 on the first try!!!
Your video has saved me from further frustration, time lost without my phone, and from having to pay for "professional" repair costs... Thank you... Thank you!!!
It's Dec 2022, bought a used s9 for my wife for Christmas and had this issue before I could even set it up for her... Your solution worked!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this information, I purchased my wireless changer from Wal-Mart for 9.99 and connected the normal charger at the same time and within 10 mins I was displaying a percentage for charging again.
Once thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you for your kind comment!
A 1000 thankyous mate!! I've just woken up with dead phone and could NOT get a charge into her. Volume down and Power button and came straight back on!!! Mate, you're a star!!! I love You!!!!!!!
which charging brick did u use for cable and wireless pad? Samsung or different?
You sir are a life saver! I was driving with a low battery as well and a notification buzzed on my phone, I went to check it, but it was bright out and I couldn't see the screen so I went to turn the screen brightness up and as soon as I did it died. I tried everything, and I mean everything else as I did not have a wireless charger. I tried the volume down/power button, plugging into desktop usb 2.0 over night, the 30 sec charger in 30 sec charger out 20+ times and nothing. I was ready to go to verizon and have them exchange it, but your video convinced me to try the wireless + plugging in method you described. It worked flawlessly the first time and in less than 15 minutes my phone is powered back up and working again and already charged to 13%. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for the comment!
Wow,this really worked for me,at first nothing happened but then after a few minutes a symbol of a lightning bolt inside a circle popped up. I let it keep charging and then red light went back on and then like 20 minutes is was able to start again!!Thanks dude you just saved me like 300.00 bucks!!
(Steps that worked for me)
1.Put phone on the wireless charger
2.Let it sit there for a few minutes
3.Plug your cord into it while it is on the wireless charger still charging
4.Screen will still be black and look like it's not doing anything.
5.A lightning bolt with a circle around it will appear
6.Let it keep charging on the wireless charger and with the USB cord still plugged in for like 20 minutes.
7.Sometime during the 20 minutes the red light will turn back on and it will charge regularly(Screen will go black again at this time and circle lighting bolt will disappear).
8.Do not mess with the phone when the screen goes black again or attempt to start it at this point,just let it keep charging in like 20 minutes you should be golden!
Thanks again dude!!
Hi Michael, thanks for the comment! I have also done a new update on the description of the video. Glad it worked!
@@walexander81 thank you again so much.I had to do it again just the other day!
Michael Pothead same story
Do you put the cord on by its self or charger with the cord plugged into an outlet
Thank you! This is the 2nd time it has happened to my S8. First time it was replaced under warranty. This time warranty is out and I found your technique. Worked perfectly as you stated. Phone fully recharged as is operational. Thanks again!
Sun Feb 10 2018... woke up to a dead phone (my kid killed my phone night b4)...so I plugged phone into wall outlet didnt do anything seen a few video non of them helped till I came across this video.
Went to walmart bought a $40 wireless charger and did as he said
1. Plugged wireless charger to wall
2. Put phone on wireless pad
3 plugged samsung charger
(A circle with a thunder sign came on)
4. Left it there for about 20 min or so red light came on and was finally charging ... this guy just save me money and time ... thank you thank you thank you.!!!!
Love it, thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH! I tried a combination of your idea, plus Melissa Bleam's comment below and I can't believe it, but it seems to be working now:) I left it on the wireless charging pad for about an hour, then plugged in the fast charger (that came with the wireless pad I bought) at the same time - then when I saw it was beginning to charge, I took it off the wireless pad (left it plugged in), and pressed Volume Down + Bixby + Power keys at once - and it booted up! Leaving it to charge overnight...hopefully this will take care of the problem. I thought for sure I'd have to get a new phone - which I can't afford right now...You're a life saver:)
I'm glad I was able to help and thank you for the detailed comment!
Thank you so much this just worked for my Note 8. I too had a wireless charger did exactly what you said and it came on.
DUDE!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
I've been pulling my cable in and out for over an hour. Pulled out my wireless charger from my S6 Edge, BAM! Restarted to recovery, cleared cache and rebooted. You're awesome!!
Glad you had success with it. Thank you for the great comment!!
Thanks so much, man! I’m about to trade in my Note 8...and I went to power it up to clear data...DEAD. Couldn’t get to boot at all. I tried your idea, and after a few false starts, the phone is finally booting! Just a note...be sure the USB connection is plugged into a fast charger, because a standard charger doesn’t seem to have enough power to kick start the phone. Thanks a million!!!
IT WORKED!!!!! I did have to leave my device on the wireless charger and plugged in for more like15-20 min but it turned back on and took a charge like it never happened. Thank you very much for the fix
Yeah, it depends for how long the battery has been dead as well. The longer it's been dead the longer to recover. Glad you were able to get it back and thanks for the comment!
YES, IT WORKS! Thanks for posting this! My S8 Plus died yesterday. I had to: place phone on wireless charger, plug in charging cable, unplug, replug... circle n lightning bolt appeared... waited a few minutes but no % indicator. Removed phone from wireless charger, unplugged and replugged cable, set on wireless charger... circle appeared and % charge a few seconds later. Now charging and powering normally.
Martin Adamczyk excellent!!
You are literally a life saver. I wish I had found this before my dumb ass sent my phone in and lost everything. Thank you so much. I genuinely appreciate you.
Thank you, I'm glad I was able to help
DUDE!!! YOUR A LIFE SAVER... My Samsung galaxy s8+ went completely dead and I tried every solution given, then I came across your video, ran to Walmart got a $30.00 wireless charger(it has to be the pad not the stand or else you cant plug your wall charger up) and did as you said. I put my phone on it, nothing happened then went ahead and plugged the wall charger up too it and it started charging... Thank YOU!!!!!
Amazing!! I'm glad you got your phone back!!! Thanks for the great comment!
William Alexander so wait, the charger that you put a link to is not the one I should be using??? I already bought it!
Have had my s8 for a month and this was the first time i let it completely drain. I thought i was going to have to go through a month long process to get a new phone and i came across your video. Thanks so much
Hi Christian, thank you for the comment and I'm glad I was able to help!
Issue with my Samsung Galaxy 8 plus solved.
Thank you very much sir, when this issue happen to me I tried everything to charge my phone, also my warranty expired. I even took my phone to ¨You break I Fix¨ They told me my phone was shot, and the circuit board chip was leaking, they couldn't fix it. I called Samsung and they couldn't do anything for me either, because of my expired warranty. They said I would have to send it to them and it would cost me more then the phone is worth to fix it. I did exactly what u said with the wireless charger and plus phone charging cord, and my phone came back to life. I only had the phone for a little more then a year and I can´t afford to by another one. Thanks again.
which charging brick did u use for cable and wireless pad? Samsung or different?
Thx for the tip ... it works. The Samsung guy even said the board is down and needs replacement. Totally unprofessional advice. He said all my data will be gone. You not only help to save my phone but more important is the data. I think it's the phone's wireless charging is causing all this and it's not working now. Appreciated.
Dude you not only saved me hundreds of dollars by not having to buy a new phone, but you saved my job. I have to have a smart phone for my work, and I almost didn't. You ROCK!!!!
This really works for me too!!! The wireless charger and the normal charger added to the phone did the trick for me. Thank you very much.
Excellent!!! Glad it worked. So far it seems it has worked for everyone that followed the procedure exactly as described. Thank you for the comment!
what wireless charger did you use and how long did it take to work?
what did you do exactly?
This has worked for me us well. Thanks for making my day.
any wireless charger that has fast charging capability compatible with this device will work
OMG, it worked.....make sure both wireless charging and plugged in at the same time for about 5 mins then just took off charging pad and used the reset (volume down/bixby/and power on at the same time) while still plugged in to electric. It took a couple minutes, but if finally showed the charging screen......I have a Belkin wireless charger......THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Melissa Bleam excellent! Thanks for the comment!
What is the exact steps again? I have s8 and i didnt charge it and it passed 0 percent. Just ordered the wireless pad. SO i put the phone on the pad for 5 mins then connect charrger?
Yeah just make sure your cable is good. Many faulty ones out there including mine.
Melissa Bleam you saved my life well explain better then tje video
Worked perfectly!
I can't thank you enough, this just happened to my Samsung note 8 and i freaked out and this worked with me and yes I'm never letting it die to 0. Thank you again
This fix also worked for me (sooooo relieved, thanks William Alexander!!!) .... only difference in what worked for me is that as soon as I placed the phone on the wireless charger, I immediately plugged in the wired charger and the circle with the lightning bolt appeared. I then pressed the volume down and power buttons and held them for 10-15 seconds and the phone started.
Tried everything and nothing worked. Did what he explained and it worked!!! True life saver!!! Thanks bro
Amazing, thanks for watching and I'm glad it worked. Thanks for the comment!
It's crazy I've had my note for almost 2 years and today believe it or not is the first time it died. I was surprised!... thankfully I had a Samsung wireless charging pad that I got free for pre ordering the phone and with your advise it powered on thank you!!!!
glad it worked! thanks for writing.
I went to two T-Mobile stores today for this same issue. Both stores tried to sell me a new phone. My phone would not charge and would not stop vibrating and flashing the Samsung logo. After doing the power/volume method I watched your video and ordered a "same day" wireless charger from Amazon. I put it on the wireless charger and plugged it in... Within 10 minutes of receiving my Amazon package my phone was back on. Thank you so much for posting this video. This actually worked!!!!
You rock! I have been fighting my phone all day and figured I was screwed but your method worked! Great to have my S8+ back and running!!
Amazing! Glad it worked worked!
Omg thank you, thank you, thank you. I was almost devastated. Thought I had lost EVERYTHING on my phone. This worked I'm amazed.
How u did it? Minutes
samsung have so much problems with battery
Did exactly what you said and it turned on!!! You, sir, are a lifesaver
You sir are a lifesaver! My note 8 is now charging after following your instructions!
Wish I came across your solution a few months back though- went through the same horror with my s8+. Brought it to Samsung and they diagnosed it as a faulty battery. But since my phone was out of warranty, had to cough up $75 for a replacement. Got it after a week, brought it home, and after a few days IT HAPPENED AGAIN. Brought it back, Samsung said the battery they put in (which was supposed to be brand new) was faulty, and they replaced it again.
BUT IT DOESNT END THERE- got my phone back after another week, used it again for a few days, AND GUESS WHAT?! Thats right! It f***** shut down on me again!!!
Brought it back to them- and this time they say it wasnt the battery anymore but the motherboard, and that to replace that it would cost $300 at least! If it was the damn motherboard, why didnt they see that in the beginning?!?! They returned my phone to me dead and partially open (since I decided not to have them do any repairs on it anymore they are not obligated to seal the unit- how profesional right?!)
Ended up bringing it to a third party specialist, who said they had to replace a chip in the charging system that was missing- probably Samsung intentionally didnt put it back since I didnt have them do any further repairs...not only that, my camera (both front and back) is practically useless since its all blurred and distorted- something that the 3rd party guy says was damaged already when he went to work on my phone.
Looking back now, your hack might have saved me from the very beginning. :(
BUT SERIOUSLY, thank you man.
Thank you for your amazingly descriptive comment. I'm really appreciatw taking the time to write. Still has happened a few times since I posted the video and I keep rescuing it back with the same method. Samsung never addressed the issue
Thank you!!! I just tried this and my phone is actually charging! I have my phone on my wireless charger AND its plugged into a sub port and whalah...the charge symbol is showing...lightning bolt... thank you!!!!
Thank you for the comment!
worked just like you said on s8 active. I was just getting ready to take apart. THANKS
Thank you for the comment!
Thank you so much for this video!!! After searching online for 2 days finding no answers was about to order a new battery and would probably break the phone trying to fix it I found your video. I already had a wireless charger and had already tried it by itself which did not work. But then I followed your steps and worked like a charm!!! Incredible!!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much. I dug out a clock radio with a wireless charger I bought for a gift and never used and the phone started charging!! It saved a trip to the repair shop. Thanks again.
You're a lifesaver! Glad I stumbled across this video. Thanks again!
Thank you for your your kind comment om glad u was able to help
Dealing with this problem at 5am is NOT fun I tell you. This is the third Samsung phone, 2nd model I've had do this, (Note 8 now, second device, & before that, the Galaxy S6 Edge+) and without a doubt this is my LAST Samsung phone. The unreliability is appalling!!! Hopefully this charging method works (I think it will) but I'm going to bed lol. (Update: while typing this, it has. Still going to be looking for alternative options!)
5:50 am here in amsterdam
can you explain to me me in detail how to fix it? i have the same issue with my galaxy s8 plus
I have a note 8 that I have been holding on to since 2018. It happened to me several times, the first being 17 days after I bought it, and the recent one being a couple of days ago. I have tried everything, I almost gave up thinking that my phone has just given up given that it is old. I came across this video and did exactly what you said (and I am not one to follow instructions, ditto) IT WORKED!!!! Thank you so much
You saved my life man! Thank you so much! Note 9 died this morning, but thanks to your video it helped!
I tried following your method, both the video and in the description, still doesn't work.
just bought note 8 a month ago..thank you for this information!
I'm very glad you found it useful. Thank you for your comment!
OMG, totally works, I was getting tired and frustrated. I've never heard of this problem before so I let my phone die today and when I tried to charge it, nothing... Even the screen was flickering in random spots (weird). I have an old non-fast charging Samsung pad, I placed the phone there for 2 minutes, plugged my regular charger and left them do black magic for about 5 minutes, then I tried the volume down/bixby and power at the same time, and the phone woke up. Get it out the pad and left the phone connected to the regular wall charger. Thank you very much!!
Hi Ricardo, I'm glad you got it to work. With a normal wireless charger instead of the fast charger it may take longer and in some cases not work at all. But I'm glad it worked for you. And doing the reset process with the button combination is also important in some cases. Thanks for the detailed comment!
Wow I can't believe this actually worked. My s8+ kept turning on and off really fast every 4 seconds. I thought it had something to do with the hard drive. You are a hero brother
Thank You so much. It worked , You saved my 100 bucks :)
damn bro this helped so much for my S8 Plus ! also thanks to the ppl in the comments with the info
Worked for me as well. Praise God, I could avoid dealing with very bad Samsung customer support.
thank you one more time for your help!
Thank you for the comment!
Thank you so much!! It definitely worked. My bf had a wireless charger that he never used so he gave it to me. I promptly followed your steps and my phone started charging after 15 to 20 minutes. Guys follow his advice! It works!
This saved me a lot of trouble and hassle. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the comment!
Thank you so much man, it's really life saving tricks, I wasn't able to used my S.Galaxy9 1 week because of this issue then I searched video hoping that founding some magic which it did in first video, I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience with us, Thanks ,Thanks a million, God bless you!
Glad I was able to help!! Amazing.
I don't usually comment on things, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. It really did help me, within minutes my phone started charging again. You just saved me a whole bunch of money.when I talked to both T-Mobile and Samsung for over two hours in which they did not have an answer for me other than to get another phone. I am so so thankful I came across this video because my phone is def not backup on anything. I learned two things today, always backup my phone and youtube has all the answers lol
Thank you for the comment I'm very glad the video was able to help you!
William,
I bought a wireless charger and was about to return it because it would not work with my Note 8 case; however, my phone went completely dead (0%) and it very frustrating.
I came across your video, took the case off the Note 8 and followed your process.
IT WORKED!!!
Sir, you deserve a techie award.
Thank you.
By the way, I'm keeping the wireless charger and getting a new case without a backing.
Hi, your method saved my newborn pics on my S8+.
I believe I drained the battery by not turning off the flashlight (?)
I tried the volume and power on keys, and other keys combinations but no light appeared on the top of phone. Nothing seemed to work to have the phone come back to life.
I took the phone to the Verizon store, they said phone was done and I needed a new one. Then I went to three different cellphone repair shops, left the phone with each one to later receive a call from them saying that they were not able to do anything; claiming that they even tested a new battery in the phone and not even with that the phone turned on (I actually never saw the phone open or a new battery being placed in my phone to test this).
I placed the phone over wireless charger. No light on phone visible.
Maybe 1 hr later I connected the USB fast charging cable. No light on phone visible.
I flipped phone up side down and while on the wireless charging pad I plug / un-plug usb fast charging cable several times. No light on phone visible
I left phone on wiresless charging and connected to UBS fast charging over night. No light on phone visible.
My wife woke me up at 5am and said your phone has green light on!!!
I picked up phone still connected to usb and pushed the On key and the phone showed the image of green battery 100% then I saw the samsung logo and it was all good. All data, pic, videos, apps, everything in there intact.
Thanks again!!!
Glad you were able to rescue it!! Thanks for the comment.
you make me happy....thank you
you make me happy....thank you
Hey Juan, thanks a lot for the effort to write down your experience. I was already feeling bad about the whole thing not working. I will try your method to leave it charging longer. If it works, it works. If not, thank you still!
Dude!!! You are a life saver, I work in the industry and had never heard of this issue. So after hours of research I came across your video and I tried what you said. Sure enough it worked like a charm. You gained a follower with this tip.
Amazing, thank you for the great comment!! Glad you were able to get it resolved.
OMG, You are a life saver! I was completely losing it until I found your video. It really works you saved my babies newborn pics! priceless THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! It works exactly as described! I purchased my wireless charger at Walmart for 20 bucks. Thanks again
I'm so glad you were able to save your newborn pics!! I had something similar on my phone when I was desperate for a solution since Samsung was of no help. Keep the wireless charger, it may happen again. It's happened to me a few times since. But the recovery process always works. Thanks for the comment!
Worked for me too! It kept not lighting up but I’d get a vibrate when I plugged the cord in so I left it on the wireless charger and plugged in while I ran an errand and when I came back, it was on and charged. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much broo.. you the real MVP.. keep doing what you do bless up
wow your advice did made my phone charging again, thank you so much....
2nd time this happened to my daughter's phone. First time the volume down and power button worked. This time it didn't. Saving this method in case. Thanks for the info. Cheers
THANK YOU SO MUCH! My phone (galaxy s8) would not turn back on after dying. I had it on the charger for 8 hours and it still didn't charge. I put it on a wireless charger while still plugged in and IT WORKED. THANK YOU.
Thanks for the great comment!
It worked...woot woot thanks dude , you're the man!!
In glad it worked thanks for the comment!
June 2018 It works!!!! Took about 5 min don't forget vol down and power button combo
Thank you for the comment!
Dude you rock!!! I got a new battery thinking the one inside was dead. I was about to look up instructions on how to take the phone apart(reluctantly) when it occurred to me to look for solutions first. After 2 or 3 videos I saw your and tried it using my daughter s10 powershare feature as the wireless charger. Got it working in about 10 min. Thanks for posting this video.
Amazing!
William, you are life saver. It worked for me. I had almost given up and ready to give it in warranty process. But your video did the job for me. Well done.
you are a life saver man!! My phone is on its last leg, but not today !
glad I was able to help!
OMG!!!! William thank you sooooooooooooo much!!!!! I did exactly what you recommended and it worked!
My pleasure, thanks for the comment!!
Omg I know this is a old video but it freaking works!!! Unlike a lot of the other ones I’ve seen!! YAY!! My husband has had my phone for a month bc his just decided not to charge or turn on what so ever!! I had to place it on the charging pad and then plug in the usb cable like you saId and it’s finally charging!!! Yay.. but I actually had to plug the usb in and out several times and I was about to give up!! But then I seen something red out the Conner of my eye and it is now charging!!! You just saved us 300$!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! 🥰😇💋
I've had this happen to me twice now. After the first time i said I wasn't going to let it die ever again. Well, I had been using it all day, researching a new car and before I knew it it was dead again and doesn't seem to want to turn on again. I've noticed that when I plug it into a charger pack that it turns on the charger pack, so I know that it's not complete trash, there's just some sort of fault in the charging mechanism as mentioned in the video. I haven't tried the wireless charger as I don't have one, but trust me, I will be getting one before the end of the day! I just wanted to add that the first time this happened to me, I had been up all night freaking out that my brand new phone that I already spent way too much money on wouldn't turn back on. When I got up in the morning I tried everything again, including plugging it in in my car on the way to work. Still nothing worked. When I got off work I had planned to go to the local US Cellular store and figure out what the deal was, that's when I started my car and the phone was still plugged in and it out of nowhere started charging the phone. However, I tried this today, plugging it in in my car, then starting the car, but I didn't have the same luck this time around!
Have cracked my Note 8 Phone Screen 5 days ago, this Note 8 was made in Korea.. and I was sent out a Refurbished Note 8 same exact Phone and it was made in Vietnam. I have no Screen Burn-ins and no scratches on it at all The phone looks great and new like and the screen is very great. The refurbished phone is just like the one I have damaged. The only thing is that I had to pay a Deductible of $199.00 and the phone was in my hands within 3 days. If there's a problem with the Refurbished phones then I guess I got lucky because my refurbished one is New like.
UPDATE: I just had this same problem this morning Oct 2018, woke up to dead phone (left on low % and Power saving mode on, overnight). My phone WOULD light up when I plugged in my charging cable but I just got a circle with a lightning bolt. Power button would not work. What ended up working for me:
1.) Place phone on wireless charger (make sure blue light on charger comes on).
2.) After 10 minutes or so on wireless charger, plug in cable charger WHILE leaving the phone on the wireless charger.
3.) After circle with lightning bolt comes on, leave for another 10 minutes then press POWER and VOLUME DOWN for 7 seconds.
4.) Profit.
Thank you for the procedure, there is a new update on the description. And yes, volume down + power is important. Thanks!
Thank you so much William Alexander! This worked like a charm for my S9 Plus! I will NEVER let my phone get to zero again! You are a lifesaver!
Great!! Glad I was able to help. Thanks for the comment!
Hello sir, I have the same problem with my note8 . I’ve been to technician twice and they can’t fix it. Now I saw your video here on youtube and order a wireless charger. It just arrived today and tried it after 1 hour of charging and doing your tricks, it worked for me huhu legit. Thank you so much , you saved me and my phone. God bless you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇

This really worked for me I took my fone to UBRAKEIFIX they said they couldn’t fix it because there was a leak inside the fone witch I thought was BS I called Samsung the only option they gave me was to send my fone and get one sent out for me for 200
Ubrakeifix was going to charge 250 if they could fix it
This morning I saw your video and as soon as i set my fone on my wireless charger I also used my wall charger and there was the charging sign
This was my second day without a fone I tried car charger wall charger and nothing no charge sign just a black screen even though I let it charge for hours
But this really worked thank you so much
Yeah there is a bunch of scammer out there. And Samsung is of great no help. Glad the solution worked for you
I am an EE guy and have been struggling with this problem. Your solution is out of box, and it works
dude you rock. Fixed my bricked Note 8, i didn't even think of a wireless charger.
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you were able to bring your phone back to life!
Thanks for this information. I had sent my phone into Samsung since it was still under warranty. They claimed it was water damaged on the power port, even though they opened it up and there was no water damage on the inside. They wanted to charge over $500 to replace the motherboard. While my phone was away for 2+ weeks, I had to purchase a Pixel 3XL. Samsung returns my un-repaired phone and I tried this trick the moment I got it back. I was surprised that it worked so easily. The white charging notification showed up right and I just left it untouched to charge over night. After calling Samsung many times and just dealing with them making me think I had damaged my phone, I think I may look at other options before Samsung. I've always loved Samsung but this whole experience was just bad.
I contacted Samsung my self same thing happened. Then I offered them my solution but I never heard back. They are using the issue as a money maker and blaming customers. Sad
My phone died while I was eating then I went to my house used my charger it worked nothing happened 🤷🏻♂️
Worked Perfectly On My S10+. Thank You Man
William! Thank you so much for posting this video. I just had this problem with my Note 8 and your solution worked. Can't thank you enough!
Glad I was able to help! 🙌
I hate Samsung note 8 I’ve been through 3 of them and it either dies when the battery hits 0 or it says moisture in the USB port and doesn’t charge..never again Samsung you lost a customer. They helped the first time but said screw you you’re on your own after that. Good riddance this is the last time you take my money
Do a charge back, I did all Samsung product total Junk!!!!
This same thing happened to me on note 5 and note 8
N. M. E same is happening to me
I have had two note 8 do this to me and now my girlfriend just called me and said her has did it. I'm so done with them but iPhone ain't no better.
@@mdot80 I agree
Thank you so much!!!!!! This worked for me I appreciate you so much. God bless!
Jorge Cruz Trevizo thank you for your comment. I'm glad I was able to help!
what wireless charger did you use and how long did it take to work?
Johnny Taylor I used the Samsung wireless charger it took about 5 mins I would leave it charging for 1 min then remove it for about 10 seconds I did that for 5 mins and it worked
So you just repeated that process over and over again? Did you leave the phone on the wireless charger the whole time? And also, did you use a fast charging brick (with lightning bolt) for the wireless and wired charger or regular charging bricks?
Johnny Taylor correct well I used the original charger my phone came with which fasst charged and also the Samsung wireless charger says it's a fast charger for the pad. I would leave it charging first for about 5 mins and if that doesn't work plug and unplug like I mentioned
I just saved my dad's s8 with the method. You're an absolute champion! Mum and I were devastated, we lost dad 2 years ago and were so sad that we potentially lost those memories on his phone. Definitely going to back up the phone now! Thank you so much!
I'm very sorry for you loss, and I'm glad this was able to help you. Memories in the end is all we have. Thank you for the message!
I suggest using Google photos there is a setting for unlimited high quality photo and video storage on all your devices and its free for life. All device and storage methods tend to fail and the cloud is the only way to go.
@@walexander81 Thanks for the tip!
Dude I bought the wireless charging pad omg and it work then I plug my cord it work. Dude you save me 300 dollars on a new phone. Thanks a lot.
REALLY I WAS WATCHING THIS AND THEN IT CHARGES wow... im speechless
That's great!
Omg it did for me well i guess it works 10/10
I pressed Volume down and power button. Then waited like 15 mins. Then while watching this it worked then I unplugged it and went back. Now it turned on again after the same method and another 15 mins...
u just saved my life , thanks a lot for sharing this info , guys this method can be done on a note 9 also , not only note 8 , i had the same problem and it worked
Amazing!!!
Thank you so much. The AT&T store and samsung store told me the phone was essentially dead and my warranty had expired on the phone (S8). This is the absolute only thing that worked.
Yeah, not even Samsung is helpful. I wrote to them to give them the procedure, they didn't answer. I'm glad you were able to use the solution!
Thanks for the video bro. It worked exactly as you said. I already tried the wireless charger but not both at the same time. Great idea!!
My device Note 9 is having problem with charging
When my device is connected to charged charging icons appears but it won't charge up my phone battery n works with wireless charging
Pls help me out
Please see the update on the description you need to hard reboot it
Yo I need your help please, I've tried everything and idk why it's not working. I have court next week and all my evidence is on the phone.
What phone do you have exactly, can you give me more information on the problem you are experiencing. Is it the problem described in the video. And have you followed the procedure?
It is a note 8. My phone turned off while I was listening to music. And it died I tried to recharge it. And no indication just black screen. I followed the exact procedure that you posted. I've been charging it for 6 hours and nothing is going on
@@The143getatme do you you have a wireless charger and is it compatible? Make sure it is. Also buy a new cable. They are faulty. Many people had that problem including my self. Also do the button combo for reset sequence.
New update on the description of the video ;-)
@@walexander81 which charging brick did u use for cable and wireless pad? Samsung or different?
Was starting to think it wouldn't work. And then it finally did. Thanks so much!
This fix workes! You need to be patient for starting it up. It will show you logo and then black for multiple times and then suddenly it starts up. Then take it off the wireless charger and let it load for a while. Do not unplug it! Cheers William! It was a lifesaver
