Not sure how to turn it back on, however. Still working on that.

Check the manual for your phone, or do an online search.  In my
experience you can force a reboot or reset using the physical power
button and one of the volume buttons on the phone.  They are usually on
the side edge of the phone.  With my motorola phone, I can get to this
screen by holding the power and down volume buttons at the same time and
keep pressing them until the reboot/reset screen appears.

Being a purposefully helpful and rather detailed person, as a public
service, I wrote this, which may help the OP with an unresponsive Samsung.

Good luck to the OP.
Please let us know how it works so we all learn from each other.
