Display blank but phone works

i dropped my iphone and now display is dead. It still is capable of working because if i apply pressure i can see light from the screen. Also, audio still coming from the phone. Any ideas?

Hi ericmine,
You can try rebooting, but you are likely going to need to make a trip to the Apple Store. To reboot (no data will be lost): Press and hold the Home and Power Buttons at the same time and continue to hold them until the Silver Apple appears (hopefully you will be able to see it - but if you don't see it by the time 25 seconds has passed, then release the buttons and wait a minute to see if it reboots and becomes visible).
If that doesn't result in your screen being visible, then you are goint to need to take it in to get looked at.
Cheers,
GB

A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

Blank iphone screen but phone working behind help!

my iphone 4s screen is blank the phone is working behind it, does anyone know why or what i should do to fix this?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Satellite A100 display blank but external vga works

Hello,
my two year old Satellite A100-847 display stopped working. I used external VGA monitor for a few days,
then switched back to laptop LCD and found out it doesnt work. It doesn't show anything , only the grey backlight.
The LCD doesn't work even at boot nor does in WIN XP, nor at battery power or AC. I have tried to dismantle the display according to some guide
to check if the signal cable is firmly at its place in the connection to LCD, but it hasn't solved the problem.
I use the original BIOS and somewhat updated nvidia display driver, they worked fine up to now, so I suggest its not a bios/driver problem.
(but maybe it is, so I tried to install original display driver with no effect. I dont want to try to flash new bios, and end up with f....ed up display and bios too)
The video output to external monitor is completely fine, from boot or in win.
Does anybody see a solution, please? Or should I only go to service provider...
thank you
Pepe

Hello
In my opinion you should definitely go to the nearest Authorized service provider. They can say for sure what the problem is and, of course, order by Toshiba the right part for exchange.
It is definitely hardware issue and it can be the FL inverter, especially if you see the something on the screen but almost black and grey.

Desktop 6 software won't work with media card, but phone works with card just fine.

Pearl 8110
media card transcend 8G HC
using latest software update for desktop and phone.
Vista business
Since upgrading to desktop 6 several months ago I can't upload media to my phone. Windows does not recognize the media card as another drive.
I can take pictures, record video and voice using the phone, and send that via bluetooth to my vista computer, but not by usb.
However when trying to transfer media to my phone via usb I get an error message says I need to turn on mass storage mode (yes it's always on) but the error message just keeps repeating when I try to transfer anything to the media card via usb. Can't transfer via bluetooth windows says I need some type of software that I can't find.
I uninstalled version 6 and reloaded the last working version 5 and the roxio media manager and that didn't work either.
I see this as being a blackberry software problem, uless someone has another idea. I've posed in other forums with no help comming.
What do I do?

Hi midnightvisions,
Have you tried reinserting the media card and battery?
Can you please clarify something? Are you currently able or unable to transfer these files via Bluetooth?
If you are able to, you may want to transfer these files to your PC via Bluetooth and format the media card and test again. http://bit.ly/f8fCQ8 If this does not resolve the issue or you are unable to transfer them via Bluetooth, try doing a clean uninstall of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstall and test again. http://bit.ly/bvuRJU

External display recognized but not working?

So, I've got kind of a weird problem.
Whenever I connect my iMac (through the Thunderbolt port) to my 32" RCA HDTV via a displayport to HDMI adapter, it shows on my iMac that there is a display connected (TTE HDTV), but my TV isn't recognizing it. I have tested the port/TV using my Windows laptop with a (native) HDMI port and there have been no problems.
I would think it was the cord I bought, except that my iMac recognizes an external display. It doesn't seem to be the TV's fault, and I've tried every resolution setting.

Yeah I have been having the same problem. When I'm looking at the Display Settings, it comes up with Samsung 1080 when its connected, however the tv doesnt recognize it. And if i unplug the HDMI cable from the adapter, the Tv options go away. There must be some sort of TV setting maybe? I am also using a passive adapter.

Phone screen NOT working but phone IS working

Like the subject says, my screen is not working, but phone works fine.
I was able to guess the 'turn on USB storage' button and I got everything backed up.
I didn't drop or let my anger loose on the phone =P.
This is my 3rd replacement phone! I read another thread on the first page of someone complaining they are on their 4th phone. Prior to that reading, I was hoping I could upgrade or convince them to give me a NEW phone rather than a used. I guess that won't be happening.
I also tried all sorts of battery pulls including waiting 30min before I put it back in...none of this worked.
So I guess my best bet atm is to take it in to the store?
Thanks!

I am on my second Droid. The first one was damaged due to me dropping it. I have insurance and had a replacement sent to me. A month later I get the BSOD Black or Blank Screen of Death. I did the battery thing as well as a hard rest and nothing.
I am three months away from an upgrade and I am starting to think of downgrading to just an ordinary phone.
It seems that smartphones are too problematic and require dealing with multiple parties i.e Verizon, Motorola, and the Insurance company for the phone.

My Apple 4 display is on for fer seconds and turning off, but phone is on. please help me

My Apple 4 display is on for few seconds and display automatically going blank, but phone is on. Help me out guyz!!

First thing to try is to connect it to the charger that came with it and plug that into the wall outlet. Let it charge for an hour. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the. Phone starts up continue with the setup procedure.
If the phone still does respond Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on

hi,
phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply.

"Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?

My iphone 4s screen has gone blank but the phone still works

My iphone 4s screen has gone blank but the phone still works

Hello antspeaks,
It sounds as though screen curtain has been enabled on your iPhone. This can be disabled by tapping three times with three fingers on your iPhone's screen.
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.
