How to charge a new Samsung battery the first time

You do not need to charge a new Samsung phone or battery for hours, or run it flat first; lithium-ion batteries have no memory effect. Charge it normally with a suitable charger and avoid charging in the heat. After a replacement, the percentage reading may settle in over a few charge cycles.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
