Screen turns on and off

It just happened. My A71's Screen is turning on and off. I mean it turns totally dark but not off. Then after a few seconds to minutes, It is back. I cannot finish what I am typing or watching.

I have also experienced this with my A71. At first, I uninstalled some apps but after 2 days, the problem is still there and it got worse. I am super careful with my phone so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Try to factory reset then install only the apps that you need and avoid overheating your phone.

Thank you, I'll try it too. I think I already tried almost 9 options from samsung and watching videos but it is still happening. That's the only option I skipped because I knew I needed to do back ups. I hope, this time. It will.

[keiiiiiii]

Yes, backup is a must. Please let me know if it also worked for you. ☺

Went through this issue with my A71. It's a hardware issue. You need to have it checked at a service center. Lucky you if you still have your warranty; otherwise, you'll be spending around 10k for the LCD.
