Dead Screen-Photo recovery

My screen is dead-I had to buy a new phone. I want to recover my photos (and other things, if I can) but when I plug my phone in to iTunes it asks me to unlock my screen, which I can't do. I haven't updated to my computer or iCloud lately. Is there a way to recover?

  • Dead screen, laptop locked in Safe Mode with no HDMI driver for external monitor

    Hi,
    Background: This is a Windows 8 pre-loaded notebook, I have updated to 8.1 (some months ago) via the Store.
    I recently had the dead screen that appears quite common with HP notebooks.
    I connected an external monitor, notebook was fully functional.
    Backed up all contents, then updated graphics driver, no improvement.
    Then went into msconfig and forced boot into safe mode...
    Now, I cannot control the notebook at all because I can't see anything.  At this point I am just trying to get control of the notebook so I can wipe it, and sell it to a repair place, or as a notebook that works fine with a docking station or external monitor.
    Questions I have:
    1. WITHOUT SEEING THE SCREEN (dead) is there any way to get it to boot back to Windows Normal mode, or any other HDMI-driver enabled mode?  
    2. As an alternative is there any way I can get it to boot from a USB to any operating system so I can wipe the HDD and start again?
    3. Would (2) even work if I need a HDMI driver to operate the notebook - would it be possible to reinstall an OS with a dead screen, because I would need to be able to run an external monitor?
    4. How do I find my Windows Product Key without access to the notebook (can HP help here, from my notebook serial #)?
    5. Any way to perhaps mount the HDD externally in order to manually edit the boot config to return it to Windows Normal booting?
    Grateful for your comments.  Remember my objective is NOT TO FIX IT, just to get it to drive an external monitor again so I can part with this notebook with some kind of financial return.

    Hi @Dom_Oz ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I see that your display quit and you connected an external monitor and it was functioning well.  You backed up all your data and updated graphic drivers but there was no improvement.  You booted into safe mode and now both screens are blank.
    Since both screens are blank when you booted into safe mode, I would try a Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset.
    to try and bring back the external monitor.
    If that does not work, can could try to do a recovery Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) 
    The Windows product key is tattooed in the bios and is hidden, but if you do a recovery it should automatically get picked up.
    Yes you can try booting to an OS on a USB stick to wipe the hard drive.
    Yes you can remove the hard drive and install it in an external case and then edit as you wish or format  from there.
    If you edit the boot config and manage to have Windows reboot, I would do a factory recovery, this will  format the drive and return back to its original condition.
    I hope this helps.

  • External monitor for macbook pro with dead screen

    Macbook pro built in 2007 has a dead screen but is otherwise ok. Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs. How can I get the monitor to display my desktop if I can't see the macbook screen?

    Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs.
    Then it is working as designed.
    By default, the external screen is combined with the built-in screen into an Extended Desktop, as seen in the Arrange tab below. You need to (Gather Windows) to get all controls on all displays, then drag the tiny white MenuBar to the display where you want it to appear. Then things will begin to operate as you expect.

  • How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11

    How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11. It was black in iPhoto 09 and now it's a murky grey. I'm not talking about events or photo view where it's in preferences only full screen photo. Thanks

    Go into iPhoto's Appearance preference pane and move the Background slider all the way to the left - black.

  • How do I transfer files from PowerBook to MacBook. (dead screen PB)

    Problem is, the PowerBook 1400C has a dead screen. So I can
    boot it up, but that's it. Is there a way to hook up the MacBook
    to the PB so the PB is seen as an external hard drive? There
    are no firewire or usb ports on the PB 1400. Just want to get
    some documents off of it.

    I think you'll have to take the hard drive out and install it in an external enclosure.
    Target disk mode won't work on Macs that are old enough to lack a native firewire port. And if the screen is dead, I don't see how you could connect via ethernet and enable file sharing.
    Edit: From googling, I see that a video out port was optional on (some?) PB 1400's. If you have one, can you get it to boot with a monitor? Then file sharing would be an option.

  • My i Pod touch still works but it has a dead screen! How can i fix this??!!

    I just got the iPod for Christmas last year but recently my little brother dropped it and it became a dead screen! How can i fix this problem?! HELP!!!!!!!!

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price (for 4G iPod, $199 for 64 GB and $99 for the others). They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • NVRAM issues, then dead screen

    My girlfriend's Macbook Pro, a 2009 Core 2 Duo 2.16ghz, went totally dead about a month ago. After doing some research, I found that resetting the NVRAM (Command+Option+P+R) seemed to get it running again. We'd have to do this once a week or so. And while I assumed the problem might get worse, I hoped that it would stay ok.
    Of course, it didn't. Recently, it went dead, and when we reset the NVRAM, the computer seemed to start up again, but with a dead screen. I tried to output video via DVI, but that was dead too.
    It's an old laptop, and I'm inclined to say that it's a lost cause - however, it died in such an odd fashion that at the very least, i'm curious about what was going on. Does anyone have any insight? FWIW, it had a 3rd-party battery in it, and I noticed that the NVRAM wasn't resetting when the battery was out and the computer was plugged in.
    Thanks!

    You nailed it, Apple can change OS and firmware and the cause problems for third party battery makers.

  • 6120c dead screen

    My 6120 classic will have a dead screen after hours of inactivity, phone still on as I can receive phone calls (key pad lights on)? any help ?

    Please make a backup if you didn't do it yet, when the screen still on. This procedure will format your phone & put it to factory default & install fresh firmware.
    This procedure works with S60 phones only:
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
    4. When the message 'Formatting' appears on the screen, release all of the buttons.
    Goodluck!
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
    If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

  • 6030 dead screen

    I have Mobile 6030 with dead screen, i can't see any thing, i want to copy all the contacts from the Phone to the SIM card, can any one help me the way to do that with steps as i can't see any thing.
    I want someone to tell how , like press menu  then press 3 and scroll down twice and so on
    it URGENT for me

    Yes, it's possible that your external display is working just fine but that there may be a problem with the screen. How recently did you have the screen repaired? There should be some sort of warranty on the repair (if done by Apple, 90 days).
    Did the Apple tech tell you why he/she suspected that you have a bad logic board? If your GPU were damaged you wouldn't be able to view the external display. And the GPU on your model is an integrated GPU, not a discrete GPU.
    Call back about the logic board replacement suggestion, at least.

  • Full screen photo as caller ID

    Hi, is there a way to have full screen photo as caller ID even if I have my contacts synced with gmail. Otherwise is there a way to unsync contacts without have them deleted from iPhone?
    Many thanks.
    Ciao, Andrea

    screen caller id photo.
    I found this page:
    http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html
    Which has this information:
    "You can even set incoming calls to display a full-screen image or photo of the caller."
    But, I checked all the options under accessibility, and I can't find a way to do this.
    Like Genuis2000, I have tried setting the photo by:
    1 - Using an existing Photo
    2 - Taking a new photo with the iPhone and using that.
    Either way, it only shows a little thumbnail photo when the person calls.

  • HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

    Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

    I am also having this issue.
    I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
    I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
    I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
    If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

  • Can I transfer files to a machine from a machine w/a dead screen?

    Question:Can I transfer files to a machine from a machine w/a dead screen?

    If the MBP with the dead screen is otherwise functional, start it up in Target Disk Mode (Powering it up holding the T key/Firewire connecting the two MBPs).  If the other MBP sees the other MBP, you can click on the HDD icon and transfer files.
