    S7 Black Screen - No Resets / Reboots Work - Phone appears to be on...

    No, I did not get it working. Looked at options to buy a new screen and install myself and decided it was not worth the expense. Moved on to a new / used phone. Am glad I did.

    (2) NEW Shield K1 tablets fail w/ 64Gb Micro SDXC cards
