Haha great stuff my pal dropped his google Pixel 3 and now it's only showing black screen and I've hard reset many phones but yeah no response I was holding buttons for 85 years lol
Nothing worked! for two days, but then I tried the pressure trick one but with my knee (more pressure, weight), all the surface, both sides. Then connected to the charger and power button for 30 seconds, and magically it turned on! The battery was at 0% despite being connected before hen I had tried almost everything already! This video saved my phone, for now!
My 3a XL's screen went to a pixelated mess, and was unresponsive. I couldn't boot in safe mode, or do a reset. The hard squeeze technique fixed the problem immediately! Much appreciated. Google was telling me i'd have to send it to a repair shop, and might not be covered with a warranty.
Heads up: DO NOT DO THE STUCK POWER BUTTON TRICK. I did that when my phone was still responsive, but still with a permanent black screen. When the phone is on, this actually triggers the Emergency Call feature, and long story short, this process ended in an accidental 911 call. Not trying to bash this video maker, I'm sure something must have changed software-wise since 2019, but just wanted to make sure nobody else has this embarrassing incident like I did
@worldoftech: Be aware! Fast tapping the power button like mentioned at about 2:05 actually calls 911 on my phone (I think it is a setting you can turn on or off)! I still didn't have my screen back, but the call connected and I had to explain that I accidentally called 911. I even ha to have her hang up, because I had no way of stopping the call.
Likely the screen went bad. I have a Pixel 3 that has been fine since purchase (new) at launch, it suddenly had a total black screen in September 2021 and I haven't seen anything on it since -- except for while charging I can sometimes get it to display a green light on the screen. I can hold power button and feel it vibrate, I can also feel a vibration if I touch the fingerprint sensor or long-press in the bottom-left where the 'back' button would be.
Thank you so much! I am still within the first 30 days of purchase. This has happened twice already. For $800 I shouldn’t have to do any of this. “Put in the freezer” ?! 4 yrs old LG died. Think I will start researching other options. These solutions are insane. Thanks again
Thank you so much! I took my phone to the local phone repair store, it was stuck in a boot loop and they couldn't solve the issue. I was advised to drive an hour away because it was a software issue. I chose to google first and came across your video. I followed all of the steps with the exception of the freezer and was able to complete factory reset. I will lose some things, but it is so much better than having to replace the phone in which case they would have been lost anyway and I would have been out unnecessary funds on top of it. Thanks again!
OMG I LOVE YOU IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The squeezing and rubbing of front and back of the phone got it going again!!! YAY!!!!!!
I'm stunned this worked. I think it was the smooshing step that fixed it for me. I bought a new phone 2 years ago but had my pixel 3 sitting around and decided to give it a shot before recycling it. Kudos to you sir and thanks!
This really worked for me. Had the black screen of death. Pressed the screen and back cover with the paper tower. Pressed the power button again for 30 seconds and got it fixed. Thank you so much for the solution !
dude.. pressing the screen! Yeah! it worked! It was on loop. charging, then google logo, then shuts down.. rinse and repeat. your method worked wonders! Thanks a lot!
I was holding my power button in with zero response. I mean like for a looooooong time. I used the one two three hold in and to my amazement it worked! I was without my phone during an emergency with my dog last night which made the situation even more stressful. I'm kicking myself for not searching for a solution sooner because that was EASY! Thanks for your video!
THANK you very much!!! I've prayed to find a solution and your video came up! I've followed your instructions and after pressing the screen, my phone worked again! God bless you. Thank you very much.
My pixel 2 screen became suddenly completely unresponsive today. I spent the day picking out a new phone to buy. Found your video and thought I'd try your suggestion of putting it in the freezer for an hour. It seemed an unlikely fix but IT TOTALLY WORKED! Thank you. I am slightly disappointed now that I don't have a good reason to buy the new phone I'd been looking at but I'll get over that quick enough.
this totally worked! My pixel went black and unresponsive several weeks ago. I took it to a phone repair place and they said it was likely the motherboard. Your series of button pushes and finally STEPPING ON THE PHONE worked! Turned right on--now no problems!
I just wanted to let you know, I love you cause I just traded in my phone and it wouldn't turn on literally as I was factory resetting it and nothing worked. Until of course I saw this video and your comment. And let me tell you I walked all over the phone and it turned on! Thank you!!
Ngl, when you told me to clean it and put my phone in the freezer I thought this was a wind up. 😂 But my phone actually works now. You're a real G babe x
HECK YEAH! I followed all the steps and when I got to the applying pressure on the screen part, I hit the corner just right and was able to see enough of my incredibly warped screen to function. THANK YOUUUU
Hey, I tried spamming the power button like you suggested, and my phone made an emergency call to 911 and since my screen is black, I couldn't cancel it. Thanks bro. Cops came and fixed my phone for me. Solid tip.
THANK YOU!! I have been stuck on a boot loop for twenty minutes and I am so glad I found this video! It seemed strange that pressing down on your phone would somehow fix the problem but after I did, it started right up! Thank you!
Threw my Google Pixel 3a down on to a shirt and it just went dark and totally unresponsive. I started getting really worried about it. I held the power button, tried the power button and up volume, power button and down volume to no avail. Then I took the case off and cleaned the sensors like you stated here (doubting that such a silly problem would stop the phone from turning on) and then held down the power button and the Google Logo magically appeared! I'm good now. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your help. I thought I had lost my phone to the black screen of death. I watched your video and my phone was back within 1:08 seconds. I was one of those who didn't really want to pry the screen protector off. Simply took off the case off and wiped the whole phone with a dry cloth. I didn't realize there was a lot of dust and dog hair under the otter phone case. My phone went blank in the middle my first use with snap chat. Thanks you!
You are a miracle worker! After taking photos of a disaster site, I went to use my phone but it was dead. When I tried to power it up, it kept rebooting. I couldn't even force a shut down. I thought your suggestions to quickly hit the power and rocker buttons over and over was silly, BUT IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU!!!
Unfortunately my phone has been broken for two weeks now. I've tried the force restart several times before and my screen still stays black, but now that I've found this video I'll have to try the power button fix and pushing on the screen, hopefully it works! Edit: I've tried everything in this video but nothings working. It's just a black screen, no response whatsoever. Hopefully it's different for some you!
Wow this video is really good! You know what, you are a good utuber! Nice video! This video riched with details and steps! It's really good! I did these all steps and yeah It worked! Now pixel 3 is good for now! Oh my god thank you so much ! Have a nice day and stay safe we need more videos! I'm from srilankan
Had the black screen of death like a year ago, I find it really funny that slapping the phone legitimately helped, had to come back to this video again today and the prssing on the screen worked. Thank you a bunch!!
worked!!!! Cant believe pressing with wet paper towel solved it. It was not working after i dropped the phone. Happened twice and this solution fixed it both times. Thank you mate!. I owe u :) Pixel repair costs a fortune nowadays!!
amazing!!! we were just about to give up hope at the freezer step but then it magically came back to life. Google Pixel 4 black screen of death. Thanks so much!!
Thanks man.. I was basically rdy to order a part × I while watching ur video i read a comment that guy said he placed his knee on the back for more weight × I did it. Then tried it × it came on!! I yelled 'hell yea' at 5:50am lol.. thanks a alot bro!! Frfr
I was skeptical, but I was desperate so I was doing everything you said... and it worked! So thanks - while mashing the power and volume buttons like a madman it loaded up the lock screen... lol
Also ended up calling the emergency services by accident!! ARGH! Think this bit should be taken out of the video, or a caption added. BUT! The squeezing thing of the phone all over thing worked for me! Thanks so much!!
Nice! I was on a boot loop, tried your recovery mothod but only did a Reboot now (no factory reset), that did the trick, phone just booted normally, no data lost. Thx
this happened to me when i used my phone as a music speaker from the sink while i was in the shower, i just kinda slapped and held the power button till it turned on again. Now today it happened for no reason but i did the sensor wipe and force restart. tyty
Wow... so i followed your video in hopes of resurrecting my disappointing $800 Google Pixel 3.... nothing worked and my 3 month old phone will only charge with a wireless charger so it was difficult to perform your suggested procedures properly... anyhow, i was at a loss until you said to put it in the FREEZER? I said "Well shit, i have nothing to lose" so i tossed that overpriced disappointment into the ice box, came back a half hour later and IT WORKED! Thank you for this... you saved me from having to go smash it in my driveway out of anger.. Honestly - im going to make an ice pack phone case for this fragile over engineered expensive prototype that i got suckered into buying..... i miss my galaxy s5... that thing took a damn beating for several years.... THANKS!!!!
welp... the phone did the same thing again and i performed the same thing again but had no luck this time... however i appreciate your video it did work but unfortunately ill have to take an alternate action :(
Thank you so much! I dropped my phone at work and was panicking and pressing on the phone with the towel worked! And when I got my screen back on I had a voicemail for a job interview! My crappy day just got so much better!
Unbelievable......... I didn't think just pressing my phone really hard would fix my "device: error"/locked device problem... THANK YOU SO MUCH. I had to check the upload date several times to make sure this wasn't an April Fool's joke.
sigh, i know this is old video but for some reason when I go to try to boot into recovery instead of selecting different menus my volume rockers also just restart device again.
Holy smokes this works ! that method with pushing all components with paper towel cloth bring my phone back to life, i have no idea how could i thank you!! I just had purchased this phone yesterday oh my god
I TRULY hate giving this a thumbs down, but alas, I must be in the 30% of those that are not successful. I did every step, including the freezer, and I do not have a black screen, but I have a screen that is non responsive and I cannot move up or down, nor bring down the settings window. When I reboot I feel the haptic vibration and to activate any app or icon I must push it once to center on it and twice to activate it. I have tried recovery and reset modes, but cannot get beyond boot mode. So far I have not been able to do a factory reset since I can never get beyond whatever is on the main (showing) screen. I may resort to removing the battery and seeing if that works.
Thank you for this video!!! I used the "plug it in to charging cable, hit the power button twice, hold on the third tap" method and the Google screen came up just like you said . THANK YOU!!!
hey man my phone is working only when i keep and take out of the fridge and after a few minutes it is again switching off itself. . Can you help me? not only him can any of the guys help me?
I felt like a moron pressing my phone hard, but this worked. Thanks. I dropped it hard and it turned black but the phone would buzz and the fingerprint scanner worked. Looks like it may have disconnected the ribbon connection
Had a boot loop. Cleaned the sensors. Holding the power button didn't work but rapidly pressing it gave me a "no command" error. After holding the power button again it botted up.
My pixel 3xl just died and my wife worried about what happened. Followed your instructions by removing the screen protector and cleaned the surface n sensor's....damn it worked! Thanks mate!
Black screen of death no matter what i did. Volume down and power button, pc connecting tried everything. Freezer for 40mins and power reset brought it back. Can confirm. Thx OP.
i've been holding the power button for 84 years
😂😂😂
Same for mine pine
Haha great stuff my pal dropped his google Pixel 3 and now it's only showing black screen and I've hard reset many phones but yeah no response I was holding buttons for 85 years lol
Me too
I have tried the data base wipe and the force restart and my screen continues to stay black aswell.
Cleaning the sensors, and hard resetting worked for me! Thank you so much. I was panicking something fierce when i couldn't turn my phone back on.

I tried everything and phone still wont come on

DO NOT PUT IN THE FREEZER!!! MY LCD IS CRACKED!!!
i don't think freezer did that, its prob the screen is broken
@@darkmishelyt4509 probably got her phone wet
You're actually a blessing. Spammed the on & off button with no remorse & now it's working!

Perfect fix, just cleaned screen, and restarted. Thank You 🙏🏼
You are a life saver!!! I'm so not tech savvy and I guess i was letting go of the power button too soon. You saved this mom a stressful day!

Now if only your phone had a number...
my husband changed his battery and the screen went black. He did the squeezing and then tried to turn on and it finally came on. Thank you!

Is there a way to open the phone to look at the mother board and battery? (Pixel 3 XL)
In the UK repeatedly pressing the power button will call the emergency services. Ask me how I know!
Thanks! Pressing the front and back of the phone did the trick for me.
Same, I love this man.

bro!!!! YOU SAVED MY PHONE!!!! It was stuck in black screen of death for no reason. Your tip of cleaning sensor and force restart worked for me.
Thanks! Cleaned the sensors and came right back on. Saving your video in case the problem occurs again
I have called to police 5 times trying to fix my phone today, at this point they have my name and phone number so they know Im fine XD
Had the black screen of death like a year ago, I find it really funny that slapping the phone legitimately helped, had to come back to this video again today and the prssing on the screen worked. Thank you a bunch!!
Oh my god the pushing on the front of the screen worked, amazing! Thank you so much!!!
Clicking my power button a dozen times caused a nice loud alarm to go off, then the phone auto-dialed Emergency Services. Would not recommend.
Force reset worked great - thanks much!!
I DID NOT THINK THAT WAS GOING TO WORK YESSS! My phone just randomly went black, I got to the squish and press the phone part and it to life it came!
worked!!!!
Cant believe pressing with wet paper towel solved it. It was not working after i dropped the phone.
Happened twice and this solution fixed it both times. Thank you mate!. I owe u :) Pixel repair costs a fortune nowadays!!
amazing!!! we were just about to give up hope at the freezer step but then it magically came back to life. Google Pixel 4 black screen of death. Thanks so much!!
Papel towel and pushing the On button quickly helped me, my phone was completely black, I bought it around 5 months ago...why did this happened?
Hey it worked pushing the power button rapidly for my husband. It finally works
Putting pressure on both the front and back fixed my boyfriend's phone. I'm saving this video in case it happens again. Thank You!
Firm pressing in along the screen and back fixed it for me. No tip like that anywhere on the Google support pages. Thanks so much!
My phone out of nowhere started to crash and was stuck in a bootloop. The "paper towel squeeze method" worked and got it back to normal. Thanks
Thanks man.. I was basically rdy to order a part × I while watching ur video i read a comment that guy said he placed his knee on the back for more weight × I did it. Then tried it × it came on!! I yelled 'hell yea' at 5:50am lol.. thanks a alot bro!! Frfr

Definitely worked! Wiped the sensors and spammed the power and the volume buttons! Phone is back up and running!
My pixel 3xl just died and my wife worried about what happened. Followed your instructions by removing the screen protector and cleaned the surface n sensor's....damn it worked! Thanks mate!
Black screen of death no matter what i did. Volume down and power button, pc connecting tried everything. Freezer for 40mins and power reset brought it back. Can confirm. Thx OP.
pressing hard with the paper towel worked! thank you!
I'm not sure which part of this worked, but it did! Thanks! I don't have a phone repair center anywhere near me, so this was great!
