1/3 of the screen shows nothing but black

I searched all over the internet, and I am afraid I am the only person who has encountered this problem.
I was watching a movie through air video, and the video freezes. When I hit the home button, 1/3 of the screen is still showing the frozen frame of the movie. No matter what I do, that section of the screen continues to show the frozen frame.
I turn the iPad off then back on, that section now is completely black. The iPad works fine except for that section showing nothing.
I have gone into general settings and reset, and I have held home and the lock button to reset as well. Nothing has worked.
How can this be? Did the application fry the video connection or the display? It seems quite impossible for an application to affect hardware this way. I am also overseas in a country where the iPad has not been released yet, I feel very helpless. Please help.

Next try is to connect to your computer and do a wipe and restore. First try restoring from you backup (iTunes makes one automatically). If that does not fix it do a wipe and restore to factor new configuration without any apps or dat/files installed to see if it works that way. If that does not work, make an appointment at an Apple store or call Apple Care.

Equium A300D-16C turns on but the screen shows nothing/stays black

Hi there, I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C laptop.
It was fine until now...
When I press the power button, my laptop turns on but the screen remains black / off.
HDD indicator doesn't flash or anything ... ( in case this helps )
I've also tried to remove the battery, hold the power button for 30s and plug the power cord back in... Same thing laptop turns on but screen is black.
I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
I haven't changed anything inside my laptop or unscrewed it.
PS:
I quite often kept my laptop on the bed/pillow so it may have something to do with overheating or something.
How did I get to this point:
Yesterday my laptop was fine, there was nothing wrong with it... I switched it off at night but when I tried to switch it back on this morning that's where I faced this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rejanu.

Hello
> I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
Its very good that you have this test with an external monitor because so you could make sure its not related to internal monitor and its working properly.
Well, you have tried a lot so my personal opinion is its a serious hardware malfunction It could be related to mainboard or CPU in my opinion
I think such hardware diagnostic can only be done from an authorized service provider. I think you should contact the guys. They can help you to get rid of this problem :)

Is it a common occurance for an iPad 4th gen to just blank out and stop working? The screen shows nothing at all, no sounds but it registers on my computer when connected.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

HT200197 My Apple TV just has a white blinking light. Will not turn off. The TV shows nothing but the Apple logo. It worked fine yesterday. PS - I am not an IT person. :)

Sounds hardware-related. Have you got a SuperDrive? If so, boot from that to test.

HT1414 I just tried to update to IOS 7 but after it completed, my iphone screen shows nothing but a USB cord and the iTunes Logo even when connected. Help Please!

Today I was updating my phone to the newest IOS 7 and after it finished downloading. An error showed up on my screen telling me it was unable to update. So I decided to just unplug my phone and maybe do it later but on my screen I have a USB cord and the iTunes logo asking me to connect. So I hooked it back up and still at this point my iTunes will not connect and when I unplug the phone the screen stays the same. I have tried turning off the phone and restarting and both times the screen goes back to the connect screen.. How can I fix this?

I have tried the steps to fix it but no solution! Please someone tell me what to do!

I can turn my macbook on, but the screen shows nothing!!!

I closed my laptop yesterday night, without shutting it down, and every thing was OK.
Today, i opened it, and nothing shows up, i thought the battery is empty so i plugged it to the power, also, nothing shows up.
I removed the battery and re plugged it, tried to turn it on, then i heard the CD ROM working as usually, and nothing appears on scree.
Is it a technical problem with no reason, or what!
I have to solve it soon.

Which means when the iphone is working and doing normal noises but the screen shows nothing?

my phone is making normal noises, such as vibrate to connect with the charger, the noise of Blocking and unlock, but the screen is all black

Hi https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6267396,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone giving you a black screen, I would suggest that you follow the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

After restoring my phone, the face shows a usb with an arrow directed to the itunes logo. The iphone shows up in the left column of itunes, but the only thing I can do is eject it. The right side of the itunes shows nothing but the word iphone.

I have no options in the itunes lobby, to synch or do anything else. It seems the phone is frozen. The "open" arrow, which normally says "slide to unlock", says "slide for emergency". Any sugestions?

It should do it Automatically when plugged into iTunes if there is a valid sim in the phone and you have an Internet connection.

Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

HT4461 Is anyone else having difficulties with app updates. The icon on the screen shows that several updates are ready, but nothing shows up on the screen.

The icon on the screen shows I have several that are ready to update, but when I go to that tab in iTunes, the screen is blank.

If you go to the App Store and go to the purchased tab you can go through all of your apps. They will either show open or update. You would have to search through all of them but you can at least still update your apps.

When I log into the iTunes store my screen shows the marker go half way across the loading indicator, the screen show a blank screen with the heading accessing iTunes. If I go to the right side and search the store the names drop down. Nothing happens

I am using a Dell Vostro 3400, with 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 64bit Ultimate OS. ITunes version 10.5? (Latest)
What I have tried:
Uninstalled iTunes,
Removed firewall and protection.
Re-installed iTunes 64bit (still get the same issue)
Restarted firewall, added apple.com etc.
I have created a new user profile to no vail.
Still the same issue. I can access using my iPod

I am having the same problem ever since I upgraded. Have received four emails from Apple support on the
issue and nothing has worked. Unloaded 10.5 and went back to 10.3 which worked fine but it would not allow
me to sync my Iphone with the ios 5 upgrade. Went back to 10.5 and sometimes get exactly what you do when
I try an access the store. It looks like something is clearly missing. Have done just about everything I have seen
on threads but nothing works. Really need help.
