Android Central Question

So i have the black screen on my samsung galaxy s6 with the pulsing LED blue light.
I have tried everything.
Holding the Vol down + Power, Vol Up + Power, holding all buttons.
Left it over night and tried again. Nothing is working.
What would be the next step?

Probably something wrong with your display, and probably the LED means something. IF it's blinking a certain way, try googling your phone model AND the way it's blinking to see if you can find the meaning. For example "Samsung S6 LED blinks blue 3 fast flashes then repeats" OR whatever you think you are seeing.

The pulsing LED is like a desktop's "drive" light flashing - it means that the phone is accessing storage.

The most likely cause is either a corrupt ROM or a hardware failure in storage. You can do as pkcable suggested and search for your situation, but I think you'll end up having to try to reflash the ROM (which will delete everything you've added to the phone since you got it, so I hope you keep a good, regular, backup).
