Even though your home button is gone, you should be able to use some non-metal object to aid in "pushing" the home button. Something like a pencil eraser should work fine.

  • Did this happen after some sort of impact?
  • Is there other damage?
  • Is your brightness set low, so that if you're in bright light (sunlight), you can't see the screen, or is it just black?
  • Have you downloaded or updated an app recently?


I have an S3, and that has happen to me. When the screen was just black, I restarted the phone. That helped for a few minutes, but I knew a rogue app was actually causing this issue. Once I deleted that app, and restarted the phone, the problem was solved. IF this could be related to your issue, you can uninstall the trouble app(s) from the app store online via your computer or even from another late model android phone under the same gmail account.

I have also been unable to actually see the screen (it appeared to be black) because I was in direct sunlight. In that case, you have to just do the functions even though you don't see the information. Depending on how you've set the phone security, you may be able to press the side button to activate the "unlock" screen, and then just swipe down to access slide-down menu. Then, adjust the brightness as necessary.

SOURCE: Need to 'hard reset' my Samsung Galaxy Europa

I attempted the above in order to hard reset my Europa i5500. However, it didn't work, and instead just went back to the "enter address/password" screen. I've attempted to connect to Kies, but to no avail, Kies doesn't register that the product is plugged in. I can get the phone onto download mode and emergency download mode, however neither are helping me much. Any suggestions?

So sorry to hear/read about this challenge you are having.
You've provided a few details to help you out; so also is it that you've probably left a few otter details out too.
First, the android logo which appears... is it lying on its back with its tummy open and a 'no command' writing also displayed?

Or is it simply the android logo ONLY.

In any case, once you do the hard reset and the android logo re-appears, try and pushing either the volume up or volume down button.

Next, check and see if it now displays the various command options on the screen.

Otherwise, when the android logo reappears, you can try press one of the following 'home button' or 'back button' or 'opened tabs button' and see if the reset menu/command options become displayed.

Sounds like you need an inverter board which is the power supply for the screen lights. I tried to look up the part but samsung dosen't have a service diagram posted for it yet. Since it is so new you may want to find a samsung authorized service center because if the part is not available yet Samsung will have to solve the problem.
