Dropped my iPhone 4s and now there are lines across the screen?! Help!

Hey everyone!
So, I have recently dropped my iPhone 4S and now there are all these blue vertical lines across the screen, which occasionally change colour also.
I am still able to receive messages and calls, and siri still works, it's simply that I can't see a single thing I am doing- which is very difficult!
I was wondering if this is an issue that needs to be fixed at an Apple store- and if so, how much it would cost? Or if I would be able to fix it myself somehow.
N.B: I've tried to reset it, it doesn't work. I have also tried to restore the iPhone, but iTunes won't let me do this as I have to have the 'find my iPhone' app turned off, which I cannot do because I can't see anything I'm doing!
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Kirstoodles.

Yes. It's broken. A replacement will cost you $199.

The iPhone is not user servicable. Apple does not sell parts for the iPhone. any parts you could get are either stolen, counterfeit, or salvaged. Atempting to fix it yourself will render it unsupportable and forfeit your right to service from Apple, including an out of warranty replacement.

I dropped my iphone 5 and now there are bright lines on it. Help !

I dropped my iphone 5 and now my screen has bright lines on it and the right side of the screen wont work. I took it into a iphone fix it place and they said the screen is damaged. Will apple or verizon give me a new iphone 5? The screen is not cracked at all. Just three bright lines on it. I got my iphone 5 in Decemeber!

If you purchased AppleCare+ at the time you bought the phone Apple will replace the whole phone for $49. If you didn't they will replace it for $229.

Dropped my iPhone 4 and now There are strange vertical and horizontal line plus red/orange background. What is the problem and how do I fix it ?

I can't see the apps or unlock my phone but at the top I see the time/mobile service ect.(it is turquise as if the colour has been reversed) and get notifications! Voice control ect. works as well !

I think that there is a problem with your lcd screen which can only be fixed by replacing the whole lcd assembly. You should definitely take your phone to an apple store and have them fix it. Please dont attempt to replace the lcd screen by yourself because you can and will do more damage to your phone. Take it to an apple store and they will fix it for you.

I dropped my iPhone 3G and now it won't past the apple logo screen

I was listening music this morning and I accidentally dropped my iPhone 3G and hit the floor, it turned off in
that moment, and I tried to turn it on and didn't work, when I got home I connected to the
computer with the USB cable and the apple logo screen showed up but after aprox. 15-20 seconds
turns off, and iTunes doesn't recognizes it, is there any solution or do I need to take it to repair?

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still problem, Restore iPhone, connect iPhone to computer with iTunes 10.7 or 11 open, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem perform DFU Mode Restore of iPhone.

I have reset my iphone 5c and now has apple logo on the screen. I have tried holding home and lock buttons for 10 seconds, but to no avail. How do i sort this please ?

I have reset my iphone 5c and now it has the apple logo on the screen. Nothing is happening, apart from the screen going off for a few seconds, only to go back to black screen and white apple log. I have tried holding home and lock buttons for 10 seconds, but to no avail. I did a reset on settings as the IOS 8 was just slowing down my phone horrendously. How do i sort this please ?

Hi MartinH78,
If your iPhone isn't responding or won't start up past the Apple logo, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

I dropped my iPhone 3G and now there is a white screen that will not go away.. what can I do to fix this?

Okay so I dropped my iPhone 3G today and ever since it has been stuck on this white screen that has stripes on it. I have tried holding the home button with the up volume and the power button for a while and that didn't work. I also tried just the home button and the power button. I also tried taking it apart to see if something was loose but nothing was. PLEASE HELP I don't want to get rid of my iphone!

Applecare+ for iPhone covers two instances of accidental damage for a fee of £49 per claim (in the UK).

If you don't have Applecare you can usually get a refurbished unit from an Apple Retail Store cut price - though they may not have any 3 models in stock and you may be 'forced' to upgrade to a 3GS.

I dropped my iPhone 4s and now vertical white lines appear. i cannot plug it in or turn it off. if i do go to the genius bar and replace it, since i haven't backed it up recently can i do anything to keep any of my contacts, pictures, etc?

it has been like this for an hour or so. no buttons work. it is completely nonresponsive.

If the phone does not show up in the device list in iTunes on your computer, you can't back it up anymore.
If your phone is set to back up to iCloud, at least your contact info and photos should have been backed up, if you selected those items to be included in the backup.
Did you try to connect in recovery mode?

My Apple iphone 5 is less than a year old, meaning it's still under the 12 month warranty. The touchscreen has stopped working and there are lines across my screen. Can I get it replaced for free by booking an appointment in store?

The rest of my phone is still perfectly operational. I can sync it to my Mac, I can still see my phone screen, meaning I can still see texts and calls coming through, the power button works, I can see my apps and my background, and the circle button at the bottom still works. It's just the touchscreen that isn't working. I can't slide across to answer calls or slide across to turn the phone off. As my phone is still under the 12 month warranty, will they replace my phone in store by booking an appointment at the Genius bar?

I was taken through some diagnostics over the telephone with an Apple advisor, who asked me to restore the software, back my phone up, etc, which I have done. He couldn't rectify the problem so advised me to take it in. I am booked in this evening to see an Apple advisor in store. I don't know of anything that I have done for this to happen! It was in my pocket on holiday in Portugal and was ok one minute, I took it out of my pocket and the vertical lines were on my phone and the touchscreen had stopped working! I hope I can get it replaced.

Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list, why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone, so their music is basically lost in space....help

It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
being cluttered up with single artists entries who
might have only one song listed.
I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

I recently purchased a new Macbook Air and used migration to transfer old files from my old PC to the Mac, and now there are songs that I purchased through Itunes on my phone that are not on my Mac, how do I transfer these songs from the phone to the Mac?

You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

Then you have to bring it back to the country you bought it from. Warranty is not International.
