My phone is opening and then closing a second after. What to do?

[Android Central Question]

Last night, after my phone died, I put it to charge.

Now, my charging port is a bit damaged so it doesn't charge sometimes, but the phone was dead so I couldn't check if it was actually charging or not.

A few hours later, I tried opening it to check. The screen opened for a split second and closed immediately after. I tried opening it again, but it closed immediately again.

I think that the phone itself might be working, but the problem might be with the screen. I should note that I have dropped the phone a few times and it does have some damage on it, but I can't tell if it's the protective screen with the damage or the actual screen.

This has not happened before.

I'm using a Huawei P smart 2019.

Anything will help!

Routinely discharging a battery until the phone loses power, if that’s what you’re doing, a faulty charging port, multiple drops, and screen cracks, if you have those, are all bad things, and I don’t know that members can make much of a diagnosis based on them.

Welcome to Android Central! When the screen turned on for a split second, was it your homescreen, or was it a big battery icon?

Chances are it's a hardware problem and you'll need to bring it to a repair shop.
