iPhone 12 Stuck On Black Screen Of Death

In this troubleshooting guide, we will show you what to do with iPhone 12 stuck on Black Screen of Death. You will also learn the reason why such a problem occurs every now and then, and how to prevent it from happening again in the future. Read on to learn more. 

When a high-end smartphone like the iPhone 12 gets stuck on a black screen and would no longer respond, we often suspect that it’s a hardware problem. But as long as the device does not have any visible signs of physical damage, such a problem can be due to a minor firmware issue. And here’s what you can do about it: 

First solution: Force Restart your iPhone

If the black screen of death that’s bugging your iPhone 12 is just due to a firmware issue, then you don’t have to worry too much because you will be able to make your device respond again in no time. However, make sure that it’s not due to physical or liquid damage by doing a physical inspection of your device. 

If you’re pretty sure it’s not due to a physical damage, then try doing the forced restart. It’s been proven effective against issues like this. Here’s how it’s done:

1. To do so, quickly press and release the Volume Up button, and then the volume down button. 
2. Immediately after that, press and hold the Power key for 10 seconds. This will force the phone to boot up. 
3. When the Apple logo shows, release the power key and wait until your iPhone finishes the reboot. 

In most cases, this procedure will fix the problem. So if you’re able to make the logo show on the screen, that’s a sign that the problem is fixed. 

However, if your iPhone 12 is still stuck on the black screen after the first attempt, try doing the same procedure a few more times because there are times when the forced restart is not done properly. After that and it still won’t turn on, then move on to the next solution. 

Second solution: Charge and do the forced restart

If your iPhone 12 remains unresponsive and stuck on a black screen after a few forced restart attempts, what you need to do next is charge it and do the forced restart while it’s connected to the charger. Here’s how: 

1. Plug the charger to a working wall outlet and connect your iPhone to it using the original cable. 
2. Regardless of whether the iPhone shows the charging sign or not, leave it connected to the charger for at least 10 minutes. 
3. After that, do the forced restart again while the iPhone is still connected to the charger. 

If the problem is just due to a minor issue caused by the new update, then it should be booting up by now. 

But if your iPhone 12 is still stuck on the black screen of death after doing these procedures, then the problem can be with the hardware. With that, you need to have the device checked. 

And that’s what you need to do with iPhone 12 stuck on black screen of death. We hope that we’ve been able to help you.
