My Galaxy s8+ dropped dead...
Yehuda25:
So I tried to turn on my phone tonight, nothing doing.
Tried plugging it in to charge it - nothing.
After trying the 3rd outlet and 3rd different charger (all original samsung and verified good with other working phones) it showed briefly a charge icon then nothing.
I tried everything online, every different combination of buttons, (hard reset, soft reset, recovery...) nothing.
Phone has now been charging for a few hours - still nothing. Nothing lights up, the charging light does not go on.
I also tried wireless charging it - but no go.
The only thing that does happens is - once in a while when pressing the power and another button, a white/black/grey flash (kinda like what those old tv/vhs playing monitors used to show) shows up (one or 2 lines worth, not the whole screen).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds like it can be a loose wire, but can be a software thing too. How comfortable are you with opening up your phone?

I'm a techie, but I don't like to open anything I don't have to.. Especially something that can void the warranty...

If you have a warranty, send it back no?

I plan on going in store, as that is the only way to salvage some of the data.
Of course I have a backup, but it seems to be missing a few of the most recent contact that were added.
I was wondering if there was some fix that I was missing, this was just so odd. I have never seen this.
