To perform this procedure just press and hold the power button for at least 7 seconds. The phone should turn off automatically then turn on again. Try checking if the display works.

Solution 3: Charge the Redmi Note 11

There’s a possibility that you are experiencing the black screen issue on your device because the battery has run out of charge. You should try charging the smartphone first and make sure that the battery is fully charged before turning it on.
