How to run a screen test on a Samsung phone

On many Samsung phones, typing *#0*# in the Phone app opens a test menu. The red, green, blue and black tests show dead pixels, spots and lines; the touch test shows areas that do not respond. The code does not work on some models; Samsung Members diagnostics can be used instead.

Key points

  • Colour and black tests show spots, lines and dead pixels.
  • In the touch test, draw over the whole screen; no area should be left.
  • The code does not work on some models and versions.
  • The Samsung Members app also has phone diagnostics.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

What is the Samsung screen test code?

On many models, typing *#0*# in the Phone app opens the test menu.

02

What if the code does not work?

The menu is disabled on some models and versions. Try the phone diagnostics in the Samsung Members app.

03

What if the test shows spots or lines?

The display panel may be damaged. Spots and lines that stay in the colour tests usually mean a screen replacement.

04

Will a screen replacement delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

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.
