My samsung s5 works fine the 1 out of 20 tries that it turns on and once its on if i give it the slightest of taps or move it to quickly it shuts off and reseting doesnt seem to do anything...please help me!

I found this on an android forums site: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/381408-static-screen-s5.html

Hi there
I had this exact same issue with the exact same phone, eventually it wouldn't turn on once, just the static and blue notification light.
The problem I found out was a loose flex ribbon connecter (I have know idea).
So I tried turning in on while holding down fairly hardly the spot they're at, which is just under the heart rate sensor area. The phone booted up fine but as soon as I let go it turned to static.
So I turned the phone off and held on the place I held as hard as I could for a good 10 minutes. I tapped it and shook it as well. And then, voil?! The phone works as good as new again!
So I suggest you do what I do, hold it hard down near the top of the battery, try different places. I guess it reconnected the cable somehow I hope this helps

More details please. Is it really "frozen" or just doesn't work?

There is a high possibility that the components over a period of heating and cooling, tend to bring on a problem of dry soldering. So my advice is to check the set for some loose joints that have played on to give you these erratic shut downs or poor performance. The best way to check for loose connections is to tap lightly when the set is powered on, if there is change while tapping then it seems that there are DRY solder joints. Remove main plug, the covers - with caution of high voltage, check for dry joints, and use a good soldering iron to solder all suspected points. Sometimes the fault occurs when the set warms up; if so you can simulate the heat using a hair dryer on the suspected areas, try with the power supply, distribution, Processor controller, driver controllers on the A/V related sections. Also the use a FREEZE-IT spray can simulate the components to cool and show up the fault. It can also be related to WEAK ELECTROLYTIC capacitors as the value can reduce in time.

Use "tapping" to do the left click if the button isn't working. You can click, double click and drag things around using just the touch panel.
Position the cursor on the icon you want to select and do a quick "tap" on the touch panel, the icon will become selected, equivalent to one click. To double click, double tap. To drag things around, do a tap and quickly tap again without lifting your finger and move.
It takes a little practice but you'll get used to it. Also the touchpad software has some settings that will let to configure the sensitivity and time between taps among other things to adjust the movement to your preferences.

Try cleaning the carbarator

I had what sounds like the same problem. The camera was dropped and the shutter was stuck open. Just kept showing error message.
As I felt I had nothing to lose I began tapping it on a soft book and the shutter started to appear. I then shut it just using the end of my finger. When I then turned the camera on again it opened and shut when turned off. It has worked fine ever since.
Seems a rather poor design.
Hope this helps. Very best regards Peat.

samsungs have convergence ic that heat up and cause tv to shut off but most of the time the colors will be off. Alsp solder connections could cause this on voltage regulators.my guess would be convergence ics cost for repair is 250.00
