Blank screen and no signs of life

schuflea · May 3, 2012

So I was in the middle of messing with my note, rooted already and working great. Just downloaded a ROM to the SD. Not installing anything. Note not plugged in but 98% on battery.
All of a sudden the screen is blank. Can't get anything to turn on. Don't see anything on the screen. Nothing. Changed battery, plugged it in, no dice nothing.

Ideas? Hardware issue?
Any and all help is appreciated.

By the way was on stock ROM.

Try downloading and running the is odin one click. And try to put your phone in download mode. if it does not work. hardware failure and youll need a new device

I would try the above, download mode, all different modes of the phone to see what's working.

Also i would try holding the power button for 8 mississippi seconds and see if it vibrates.

I have the same problem, and no vibration when i hold the power button. I take out the battery try different comboc, and nothing, seems like a dead phone, but i did nothing to mess it up...

I think i found the problem, after reviewing whAT i think i had done, I was tryuing to root and install a custom rom to galaxy note, but in odin i flashed cwm recovery to the bootloader instead of PDA...can this be fixed?

Sometimes phones die... Good new is sammy will probably never know that you rooted it when you send it in for exchange.

wow thanks yeah thats what i was thinking, if there is not water damage or anything and no power, then they should give a new one?

right? i dont see how they could diagnose it if no power

If your not getting any response try holding the volume up and down buttons at the same time and plugging it into a charger that brought my phone into recovery mode, I did a factory reset and I was up and running again

nada, could it be from me using the bootloader tab for installing CWR?
