3gs 32gb - black screen, nothing works..

I was playng a game on the iphone and then i went on the laptop while the game was still on, so it went on standby. Now i cant turn it on anymore..
I tried a lot..
I tried plugging it into my laptop, nothing itunes is not detecting it.
I plugged it into the wall socket, nothing
I let somebody call me, nothing
I put it on quiet, dont feel any vibration
I tried to hard reset it, nothing even after 1 minute holding the buttons down
I took out my sim card, nothing
It had like 80% battery when it stopped and ive been having it charging for about 30 min now, the weird thing is, the iphone is feeling pretty warm, warmer then normal so i just hope it wont explode in my face.
PS. i did not unlock it or jailbreak it or anything, all is standard.
anyone have an idea what else there is i can do?

See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
If this doesn't work, you may very well have a hardware failure and your next step would be to make an appointment at an Apple store.

IPod has a black screen, nothing working, can't reset or restore

I have had my iPod for almost a year, and this is the first problem I've had with it. It showed a white screen for a day, but then it went black, and nothing is working on it. When I connect it to my computer, nothing shows up on the iPod about it being connected, or on the laptop. Anyone know what to do??

Hello. My iPod nano 4G 8GB has the same EXACT problem. I can't seem to fix it. Apple told me t switch to hold then, switch to on/off then, press MENU and OK buttons for 6-10 seconds to turn it off... I did this and it happened. ... Unfortunatly, I don't know what to do next.

Black screen nothing working

my ipod touch was hot at the bottom rear when i picked it up. for no reason. the display worked ok but didnt let me slide to unlock or slide to switch off. i have since fully charged it, fully discharged it several times and the screen remains black no matter which buttons i press. i have tried the reset by pressing top and bottom button for 10 seconds still nothing happening. It is now not recognised by the computer when i switch it on. or the tone from the computer when the usb is connected. iv not dropped or damaged the ipod in any way. any help here would be appreciated. thanks in advance, kevin

I agree, the black screen with 3beep error is a very common problem and the only solution is a replacement board. I suggest you read some of the other topics in this forum on the subject, many have good and useful info in them and there is also a lot of misinformation out there too, as well as an abundance of improperly repaired boards, so it's best to educate yourself before looking into repair options.

T61p black screen, nothing working

My 8-year-old D has a Lenovo T61p Thinkpad. When she went to boot it up today all it did was give three beeps and then nada. No screen, no sounds, no anything. Nothing I do has any effect, not booting from F1, not hitting the Thinkvantage button.
Now what?

I have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown

i have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown nothing do no restart and when i have restore my iphone it say error 4014????????????

is this the original iPhone 5, or 5s? If it's the 5s do you have Apple Care still? If so calling Apple iPhone support is where to start, hopefully they can help, if not, setting up an appointment at the Genius Bar at an apple retail store is a good option too, Call the store first though and ask what your options are in terms of warranty and service. If you are having problems with the regular iPhone 5, still call Apple Care or an Apple store and see what they can do.
good luck!

Satellite T130 -Black screen- HDMI works perfectly

The problem started as a HDMI-cable was plugged into my running Satellite T130-17E and the screen was closed down. From that point the notebook screen stopped working. When booting the windows start-up logo is on for a couple of seconds and just before the entering the desktop the cursor is visible on the screen. But except from these short moments there is no action on the notebooks screen. When I reinstalled the driver to the graphic card there was some short moments (less than 0,5 sec) when the screen was active.
I can use the notebook without any problems via HDMI to my TV. And when I adjust the screens brightness (FN+F6/F7) the black screen can get more back-lighted.
When I turn off the HDMI-output or plugs it out - nothing happens on the notebooks screen.
Can some of you please try to help me out as I really need my notebook to work normal again. If you can help me sort out this problem I'll be very grateful-
Kind Regards,
Jacob Lindberg

When I use FN+F5 to use LCD only - there is a very short moment when i can see the dekstop on the notebook screen, but then it turns black again.
When I try to duplicate the output on HDMI and on the notebook screen - the notebook black is very backlighted when compared to the notebook screen when only the HDMI-output is used. When I switch between the different options on FN+F5 there is som very short moments when some the the notebook screen is active - but it is like a millisecond.
Is there any thing else I can do?

HELP!!! Black screen, nothing helps

PLease help. My ibook g4 started having black screen: i can hear the chime but the screen remains black. Sometimes it does turn on, but almost immediately the message asking to restart appears. I have tried all the regular fixes: setting changing, os re-installed etc. Support told me that it is probably hardware issue. What do I do now? Do I go to the store and pay them to fix it? Does anyone know how much? Please help.

Andosia, did you call Apple?  What did they say?
I've had a dead iBook G4 since last November-ish.  There are a few suggested fixes, one of which is taking your iBook apart and putting a shim in the case to put pressure on the chip.
A couple of months ago I put a wood clamp on the left palm rest of my iBook and it booted up without a problem.  I had it running (with the clamp attached) for nearly six hours without a single problem, and during that time I was able to get all my personal information off of it.
Now, in the past I was quite adamant about not taking apart my iBook when it's the responsibility of Apple to fix this issue, but today I finally broke down and took it apart.  I figured I may as well, it was just a $1100 paperweight as it was.  But as I type this on my wife's MacBook (which we bought to replace her iBook), I have her previously dead iBook up and running with a shim placed on top of the graphics chip.  I'm currently loading Panther from the Restore Disk because I wanted to give it a clean re-install, but it hasn't given me a single problem yet.
I still very much feel it's Apple's responsibility to fix this problem, but I'm not holding my breath, and at least now I have a working (for how long?) iBook.

In win7 there is a shortcut to alter the display (WINKEY+P). Try use this. If not work, maybe a problem with the cable of the notebook display.

IPhone 6 black screen but works

After getting to work, I come to find out that my iPhone 6 has a black screen. Before that time, it worked just fine until I took it out of my pocket later this morning. The phone shows a black screen, but the buttons still work (the mute switch works; every time I mute it the phone vibrates). I tried connecting it to iTunes and it shows the phone. I assume that the screen has been bricked. I previously had a time where my phone was covered in rain water. That also explain why I have been experiencing crashes on my phone which led me to doing a hard restart. I have the choice of taking it back to my carrier as I'm still under warranty or I can try find out and fix this bug myself.
Any Suggestions?
Many thanks
iPhone 6 running the latest iOS

IIf you did a reset and screen remained black then it's a hardware issue, not a bug. You should return it under warranty if you still can. Any other attemp to fix on your own is probably going to void your warranty.

IPAD 3RD GEN WIFI 32GB : BLACK SCREEN/WILL NOT OPEN

Hi everyone.
I am not sure what the **** is going on with my luved Ipad. It has been working perfectly until last weekend when I turned it on as normal but it would not open to my first page. Normally I simply open my ipad cover and it starts up straight away, I put in my password and away I go. All I have at the moment is a 'black' screen. I have tried pressing the Home button but it does not open my ipad.
I have tried connecting to Itunes and updaing which it does (there is about 50% battery left) in Itunes on my computer, but my ipad does not open.
I bought the above ipad online at the Apple Store here in Australia on the 14th June 2012.
I luv my ipad and am keen to get it working again.
I know there are some amazing helpers out there in ipad land. Could you please suggest what I should do as it is not operating at the moment.
I'll await your thoughts
Many thanks
Allan : Brisbane/Australia

Gees : sorry everyone. I posted my problem then noted on the RHS reading pane that some of you geniuses suggested to hold down the Home Button with the On/Off Button : its a MIRACLE !
It is now working like a dream.
Many thanks again : this is a terrific source of info
Best wishes again

Why did my brand new Ipod 5g 32gb touch screen stop working?

So I got this ipod from the Genius Shop for about a month. A few days ago when IOS 7.1 came out, I updated it. However, the ipod seems to lag a little. Today, I was charging my ipod and for some reason, when I turn it on, the touch screen stop working (the ipod is in perfect condition). The home button, volume button and the on/off button all works fine except for the touch screen. I want to restore everything on my computer, but I can't get pass the lock screen (the touch screen seems to stop working). I just can't do anything on this ipod anymore beside turning it on and off. I can't even power it off because the touch screen is no longer touchable. So how can I restore everything, or do something about this ipod to work again. Can I still take this back to the Genius Shop and get another one without additonal charge?

If the reset does not work try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
