I switched off the screen by accident.
And I have no idea how to switch it on again.
Does someone?

Are you saying that if you switch off the phone, when you switch it on, the screen is still off?
A Soft reset on a Samsung is to Power off while holding Volume down. That will usually clear unwanted behaviour.
Yes that’s happening, the screen is on for a split second and than it’s off.
Unfortunately your method did not work. Tried with volume up, still the same.
I can see “phone is starting up” and then the screen is off.
Hi @rex
I dont know this message on Samsung !
About the screen off, are you using a magnetic cover ?
The message I think, comes from /e/OS, my Fairphone 3 comes with same one.
Normally I’m using an Otterbox as cover.
Will the phone boot into Recovery mode? (This might give a clue if it is a hardware problem). Similarly, can you reach Download mode? Any clues written there.
I had some very unusual behaviour on my Samsung when the hardware buttons had become a bit sticky and my volume switch seemed to have become capable of “double clicking”!
Worst case you probably know a Factory reset from TWRP will clear all your data but restore /e/.
Let me explain something more about how the problem is developed.
I was working in “settings” on the phone and touched by accident “Switch off screen”
That is the reason.
