**Hi, I'm an experienced iPhone expert. I'd be delighted to guide you with the steps to restart your iPhone when the screen is black.**
Method 1: Force Restart
1. **Press and quickly release the volume up button.**
2. **Promptly press and quickly release the volume down button.**
3. **Immediately press and hold the side button (power button).**
4. **Keep holding the side button until the Apple logo appears.**
Method 2: Recovery Mode
1. **Connect your iPhone to a computer using a USB cable.**
2. Put your iPhone into recovery mode:

Note: Recovery mode will erase all data from your iPhone, so make sure you have a backup before proceeding.

Reset. If restarting your iPhone doesn't solve the dark-screen problem, reset the device. Do this by holding down the "Sleep/Wake" button and the "Home" button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. Hopefully, you will see the Apple logo appear before you release the buttons.
