Android Central Question
So a relative of mine brought me an S6 with a cracked screen. It belongs to his 15 year old daughter. He told me that she dropped it and the phone is now stuck on a black screen. When I put the phone to charge it didn't respond in any way at first. After leaving it like that for 2 hours I tried to boot it up. Only response I got was a flickering blue - light blue led light. So I searched on the net and found a couple of people fixing this problem by holding the power button with the volume down button which performs a simulated battery disconnect, unfortunately absolutely nothing happened. The phone continued to flicker the blue - light blue light. The screen is probably dead as no matter what I try it is also black. I tried entering recovery mode, nothing changed (flickering blue light), than I tried entering download mode and the flickering blue light changed to a constant red light (screen still black). So I downloaded ODIN to see if the PC will recognize the phone and oddly enough when I connected the USB it did recognize it. So what I'm thinking is that the screen is probably dead as no matter what I do it is always black, but I am not sure what else is wrong with it... Is another hardware peace broken from the fall or did the system just got messed up is that even possible from a fall? If just the screen is dead shouldn't the phone just boot up normally and have sound, like being able to ring and stuff ... Any advice/ opinion will be greatly appreciated.
