Possible causes of Samsung A10 black screen issue
- Hardware Malfunction: A defective display or internal component can lead to the Samsung A10 black screen issue. Physical damage or a manufacturing defect might render the screen unresponsive.
- Software Glitches: Erroneous system updates or incompatible applications can disrupt the device’s functionality, leading to a black screen problem. Incompatibility issues between the operating system and certain apps can trigger this situation.
- Battery Related Problems: A completely drained or damaged battery can prevent the device from powering on, causing the screen to remain unresponsive and black.
- Power-Saving Mode Activation: Accidental activation of the power-saving mode can dim the screen to the point where it appears completely black, giving the impression of a severe issue when, in reality, it is a minor setting problem.
Fixing a Galaxy A10 that’s stuck on a black screen of death
What you need to do is rule out the possibility that this is just a minor firmware issue because if it points to the direction that suggests that it’s a hardware problem, then you would really need a technician to check it for you. With that said, here’s what you should do to try and fix this problem…
First solution: Perform the Forced Restart to fix the black screen issue
If this is just a problem caused by a system crash, then this procedure will definitely make your phone respond again. The Forced Restart is a simulated battery removal that will force the phone to turn off and turn back on again. Here’s how it’s done on your Galaxy A10:
- Press and hold the Volume Down button and don’t release it yet.
- While holding down the volume button, press and hold the Power key as well.
- Keep both keys held down together for 15 seconds or until the Galaxy A10 logo shows on the screen.
If you were able to make your Galaxy A10 show the logo, that’s a sign that the phone is actually responding. However, if the device still won’t respond to this procedure or if it responded but turn back off again, then move on to the next solution.

Second solution: Charge your phone and do the forced restart
At this point, it’s possible that the battery of your phone has been completely depleted and while it’s not really a big issue, there are times when it would lead to a system crash. When that happens, you will be dealing with a couple of pretty minor issues that both result in an unresponsive phone or the black screen of death issue. But don’t worry, there’s always something you can do about it. Here’s how:
- Plug the charger to a working wall outlet.
- Using the original cable, connect the phone to its charger.
- Regardless of whether the phone shows the charging symbol or not, leave it connected to the charger for at least 10 minutes.
- After which and while the phone is still connected to the charger, press and hold the Volume Down button and don’t release it yet.
- While holding down the volume button, press and hold the Power key as well.
- Keep both keys held down together for 15 seconds or until the Galaxy A10 logo shows on the screen.
If you were able to make your phone respond again after doing any of the procedures I cited, then the problem was all with the firmware. However, if the occurs every now and then, then you would need to reset your phone to ultimately fix the problem.
