Screen flickers for a few seconds then goes blank

I have been reading these threads trying to find someone having my problem, but the popular issue seems to be with lines on the screen. Mine just goes completely blank a few seconds after start up. Any words of wisdom?

Unfortunately, the internal power supply within the AirPort Express has likely failed.
As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Power off the AirPort Expess for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button, and keep holding for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into power
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
At this point, if the Express is operational, it will display a slow, blinking amber light.
If it doesn't....then it is time to replace the AirPort Express.

but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

I cannot sync my iphone 4 to my imac it connects for a few seconds then goes off

please can someone help me When i connect my iphone 4 to my imac using bluetooth it pairs up but only lasts for a few seconds then goes off and shows
not connected i have tried all sorts of ways but without success why is this happening am i the only one does anyone know the answer please

Seems like my problem - I have a new iPhone 4 and it does not want to pair with any device. It seems to connect, and is recognised by my MacBook pro, it shows the code that my Macbook shows, but then says it cannot connect. Neither did it connect to another imac, nor does it connect to my carphone. Have received a replacement (as I had bought the iPhone five days ago), have a new one now, but exactly the same problem. But I cannot alter the bluetooth settings on my iPhone, and restoring does nothing, nor leaving it in the completely unaltered setting, nor switching off all other wireless devices. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Iphone 4 says "connecting..." for a few seconds then goes straight to "Connection lost"

Just yesterday it was working fine, but this morning facetime has been not connecting.
It connects for a few seconds, and then it goes straight to Connection Lost.
i have tried calling the person a bunch of times and it does the same thing. They have done the same, and apparently their iphone is doing the same thing, too.
Is there something wrong inside my phone? I/m sure its my phone because my connection is full and working for every other app. is there any other method i can do? i have tried resetting my phone, wifi, and my facetime. Please help!
Thank you.

BluRay video plays for a few seconds then goes black...audio plays fine

I have several videos that are to play from a main menu, then return to the menu. On all of them, only a few seconds (ranging from 4 to 9 seconds) plays, then the screen goes black while the audio continues. This is happening with all videos. The menu structure is working fine, when I go to the end of each video the menu returns. I'm on a MAC, and all quicktime movies play fine in quicktime player. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Steve

I'm in the Windoze world, and don't do BluRay, so I have no idea if the Avid codec is your problem
I guess all I can suggest at this point is to Google for something like
Encore CS5 Avid Codec
and see if anything jumps out

Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on. I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change. Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again. Same action over and over.
I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete. Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
Device is frozen in this display loop. Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
* power off your phone.
* Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes. You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
*Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

Can't listen to any music on my iPhone 5, when I press play it just skips to the next song, does that for a few seconds, then goes back to artist/album/song list. HELP!!

I just updated my iTunes on my laptop to the newest version. I connected my iPhone five to the laptop, and it asked me something about a restore. I wasn't thinking, confused "restore" with "sync" and I just hit yes.... I know, dumb. Anyways, I logged into iTunes on my laptop, downloaded all my purchased songs through the cloud, did a backup, then disconnected it. When I used my phone again, everything was different. All my backgrounds had changed, my apps were rearranged, I had old apps on my phone that I had previously deleted, etc., all signs pointing to me restoring my phone to a previous version.. None of that bothered me, I knew how to deal with it and just changed everything back to the way I had it before the restore, and everything was fine.
Until I went to listen to some music on my iPod. I made my album choice, selected a song, and instead if it playing, it was silence. I looked at my phone and it was skipping through the songs without ever playing a single sound. That bar that shows how far through the song you are? It never moved from zero, but my songs were skipping and skipping and skipping, almost like I was hitting the "skip track" button, only faster.
Should I re-restore my phone? Would that possibly fix it? I've checked, and my iOS and my iTunes and iPod version are all up to date.
PLEASE HELP ME!! I can't find this topic anywhere in support, and I NEEEEEED my music.

Hello avenmaven,
Thank you for all the information you provided, and congratulations on your new laptop!
I do not think this has to do with setting up iCloud on your new computer. You might not have the option to manually manage music checked on your devices. This box would need to be checked if you are dragging content over to your iPhone or trying to delete by pressing the delete key:
You can find more information at the full article:

Macbook screen goes black for a few seconds then reappears fine

The last two days my macbook screen has gone black for a few seconds then reappeared a few seconds later. Its as if it goes to sleep for a few seconds. The two times it has done this it has been charging. I have checked for hotspots but i have not activated any. I only bought the macbook air two months ago and have been really careful with it so i am confused.
any help? Please?
Thanks people.

Hello @bobbiy58,
I understand that your HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC is going black for few seconds and coming back. I need to ask has this just started? Like since you connected your X-box? If so have you tried disconnecting the X-box to see if it stops?
Please re-post and let me know. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Nano 6th turns on for a few seconds then screen goes black and nothing. what is wrong with it....

My 6th gen nano turns on for a few seconds, then screen goes black and nano goes off. what is wrong with it? can any one help me out? do I need new battery? do I need a full repair? or is there something I can do myself to fix it. Thanks for your help.

At the moment I say as I've fixed, momentarily:
I made a downgrade to 1.0
The problem, gentlemen, is the upgrade from 1.1 and 1.2
It is a pity that I lost all the new features offered by the new firmware , just because Apple staff could not think to try this new update, on ipods with some airtime.
I hope Apple pull out a version 1.3 with the ability to choose the feature detection, and the user can disable it at will.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

My iPhone 3G phone button no longer works. If I push it I get a black screen for a few seconds then back to the home screen. Everything else is ok. Any ideas how to fix this?

The phone button on my iPhone 3G no longer works. Everything else on the iPhone works fine. I can receive incoming calls. I can make calls directly from Contacts. But if I press the phone button I get a blank white screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I've tried the hard reset and also restoring orignall settings via iTunes but keep getting the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you, Neil.

Thanks for the advice but I've tried resetting network settings and also the reset by pressing home and sleep buttons until getting the Apple logo. Still have the same problem. To be clear (because I mistakenly typed black instead of blank in the title to this thread): If I press the phone button I get a BLANK WHITE screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I doubt it's the SIM card as I can receive calls and make them directly from contacts. What I can't do is view my favourite numbers or missed calls or access my voicemail, i.e. all the things you get to via pressing the phone button.

When I try powering up my phone it stays on the logo screen for a few seconds then turn off, whats wrong with it?

When I try to power up my iphone 4 32g, it will stay on the apple screen for a few seconds then turn off. even when I try connecting it to my computer it turns on for a few seconds then turns off. Whats wrong with it? and what do I do about it?

Have you tried charging it with another known working USB sync cable? After letting it sit to "charge" for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting the device by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes

The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes.

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
