1- Black screen fault due to system failure:
Black Screen Fault on a Smartphone Due to System Failure: If the phone works just like usual. It still can receive calls, messages, chats or any notifications, but the screen is black / blank maybe that’s caused by some system problems / errors that affect the display of your phone.
We noticed in some phones with black / blank screen faults, sometime if any system or installed application goes crashed due incompatibility or any other reason then it can be a cause of black screen fault on a Smartphone.
Fix blank / black screen problem due to system failure?
Here are some solutions that might help based on my experiences: Remove protector and check the screen is it normal or broken. if screen is broken then it should be replaced with working display unit to fix black screen fault, if it looks normal then follow the steps below to fix blank / black screen fault on your phone.
1. If you have a phone with remove able battery, remove battery from your phone and wait 15-20 seconds, then insert battery into phone and try to power on.
2.

2- Black screen problem due to disconnection
Black screen problem due to disconnection board and display unit / screen can be found when display unit and board connection lost due some reasons like dust in connector, open connector due to falling down and due to damaged connectors on board or lcd flex. because most of Smartphone comes with fix battery and hard to open, you should check and understand what you are going to do before opening phone.
How to fix black screen problem due to disconnection?
To fix black screen fault due to disconnection in display connectors we need to open phone, so be very careful because smartphone disassembly in little bit risky and tough. always disconnect battery first after opening your phone, then start your work.
Open your phone and check LCD connector it may be dusty or opened, clean dusty LCD connector using CTC, MBC or whatever you are using to clean smartphone boards. I suggest you to use Falcon 530 motherboard cleaning spray.
Check all points of both connector using magnifying glass and resolder if you see any open point due to any reason. then reassemble your cellphone, it may be ok now.
3- Black screen due to damaged display unit
This part is not very simple as we think, i used damaged display unit term that can cover all problems from display unit / LCD. I will try to write some conditions hat can cause of black screen problem on a smartphone.
1. Broken display unit, that is very simple to understand if LCD unit is broken from front but sometimes display units break glass from back corner that not visible from front investigate the display unit carefully, remove protector from screen if you feel any difficulty, if found any breakage then replace it with new one.
2. Liquid damaged display unit, this is little bit hard to understand when liquid gone dry, but if you have experience before then you will easily understand liquid damaged display. You can try to clean and dry if it works then good if not then tou need to replace display unit to confirm.
