My lenovo phab 2 is blacked out and won't let me get in my phone or do anything on it. What can I do to fix it

Welcome to Android Central! When you say it's blacked out, do you mean nothing happens when you try to power it on? Do you hear it ring when someone calls you, or notification tones when the phone receives a message? If not, either the battery is dead or the motherboard has failed. You'd have to bring it to a repair shop.

I merged your duplicate threads. What did the guy tell you to do? The more details we have, the better.

He said hold power button til power and reboot come on the hold power off button until it says reboot safe mode then go in and do pattern lock on phone and then reboot so I did then it blacked out and won't let me in

Hold the Power button for about 20 seconds to force a shutdown (in case the phone is actually on, but the screen is just blank). Then wait a few seconds, and then press and hold Power again until it powers on. Is the screen still black? Do you not even see the Lenovo logo show up as the phone is powering on?
