E71 camera went black...

I recently discovered that when I start the Camera function on my E71, the screen remains black... I can see the camera crosshairs and all the menus pop up just fine.
Only no image... none whatsoever. Very occasionally, after a few seconds of the aforementioned black screen with the crosshairs I see a message saying that the camera is in use by another app. Need I say that when I check there's no such other active app to be found?
So how about it, mechanical failure? Or?
Yes, I've rebooted my phone and yes, I've reinstalled the newest firmware (4.smthn). The problem remains the same.
*sigh*

Did you reset the E71? Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings. If that doesn't help, you've to bring it in for service.

My iphone 5 camera went black and flashlight off also, anyone deal with the same problems?

Another stupid thing, there are so many apple authorized reseller here who offer applecare but again applecare doesn't work in my country. Apple hasn't put my country on the applecare service list. Not even my provider can help repairing my iphone 5 camera. So what's my guarantee thing for? really?
Since i got my iphone 5 for two months, the camera started indicate some problems. It starts with blinking screen, it turn pink and flickering then freeze. It was still on iOS 7, so i thought by updating will help solving the bugs problem. I have restore it too, nothing really works. Now my camera just a total pitchblack screen that i cant operate anymore and even my flashlight stop functioned too now...

My phone worked for a maximum of 5 minutes, before lsoing signal. Disabled LTE and it works perfectly. Spoke to some Samsung mates and they had the same problem.
LTE is not ready!

How could it have been a brand new phone if there were already pictures on it?
I'd ask for your money back.

My iphone 4 turned off yesterday very randomly. I had 88% battery when it turned off. I plugged it into the wall and it said i had no battery, then the apple came up as if it was turning on. It went black again and this keeps repeating. Any help please ?

Battery could be at EOL. Try getting it replaced.

- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try here:

Okay my Macbook Pro computer screen suddenly went black but it came back on once I clicked a key what does this mean?

I need some assistance I just bout a refurbished Macbook Pro 17 inch and i have had it for roughly 2 weeks. My computer screen suddenly went black and comes back on after I press a key. What is the matter I need help cause im starting to get upset

Hi,
is it possible that while working in photoshop, you accidentally hit this key-command?
Control+shift+eject
This instantly darkens your screen to black. When you hit any key, the screen comes back, the behaviour you describe.
(It's a handy thing when your boss comes in and you don't want him to see your "confidential information".)
Maybe there a key command in photoshop you used and you missed a key?
(Or something was pressing on the right top corner of your keyboard (the eject key) en you pressed ctrl-shift to execute some other keycommand)

Pavillion dv6-Had screen replaced on August 22, 2012 because it went black and would not come back o

Have a Pavillion dv6 for my teenage daughter. We got it late December of 2011, so it's less than a year old. On August 22, 2012, I just got it back from being repaired because the screen went black and would not come back on no matter what we did. It came back with a teeny, tiny little black line way down at the bottom of the screen, didn't seem like a big enough problem to worry about so we kept it and she used it. Last night when she went to bed it was working fine, today when she turned it on after getting home from school, the whole screen is a disaster---it looks like a big diagonal crack is running up the screen and it's a solid strip of color on one side and then lines and then the crack then you can see where the sign on logo is trying to run---kind of---rolling up the tiny part of the screen it is showing on. Called customer support, which was a complete nightmare! I used the first number that came up for hpsupport on google and it was iyogi-----could barely understand the woman on the other end, she kept having me tell her the problem over and over and over and over and telling her my name and phone number and email address and the serial number and the product number, over and over and over and over and over and over-----this went on forever---then she had me try pressing the f10 key and the power button and it gave 13 beeps and would go off, she had me put the phone up so she could hear that happen 6 times. Then finally she says it;s a hardware problem and she will transfer me over to harware support after trying to sell me software protection that I don't want. She transfers me, I get an automated system and damned if I don't get rolled right back to the same Indian woman and she starts me from scratch like she hadn't just talked to me 4 minutes before that-----I was furious! I told her I had already been on the phone with her and told her all this information and she still had me give it to her 3 more times then said she would put me through to hardware support. I spent 1 hour and 25 minutes on the phone total and almost all of it was with this woman that had no clue and barely spoke English. Why? I live in the USA, I bought the product in the USA, why can't I speak to customer support in the USA? Why do I always have to talk to someone that I have a language barrier with? Why do they always make me do the same thing over and over and over and keep me on the phone over an hour? It was the same way in August when it needed repaired, I was on the phone that night 1 hour and 10 minutes. Is the goal to get you to just forget it and go buy a new one?

iYogi is not part of HP. I would recommend calling 1-800-474-6836 or visiting http://goo.gl/Pru5A for all of your support needs with HP products.

My macbook 2008 screen went black a few months ago. I've been using it with a monitor. Today it's working. I have a feeling it's going to die at any time. Is it possible that a software patch fixed this ? Is there a utility I can run to test the screen ?

Model : Macbook 2008
Symptoms: The screen was, intermittently, going black last year and then went black completely. I have been using it on a monitor ever since.
I can see the screen with a flashlight.
I completely erased the drive and loaded OSx 10.7. I believe that's the last version of OSx Mac will be supporting on this computer.
When I booted up the computer this morning the screen came on !
While typing this question, my screen went black again, not to return.
So sad.
I did bring it to Apple and they believed the entire screen needed to be replaced.
They say that they tried a new inverter and it didn't work.
I have a feeling I'm just out of luck unless I want to cough up the $300 to fix the screen.
Although it is a solid machine, 2Ghz processor with 4 gigs of ram, it is still six years old.
I imagine that's like putting a new transmission in a 95 Honda civic. Yeah, it's a reliable car but it's old and it's probably going to break again.
I love my mac so much but I can't justify buying a new one or paying to fix this old one.
I have a Gateway dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu linux that's actually pretty slick and has taken it's place on business trips and coffee shop excursions.
If anyone has any thoughts or feedback I'd appreciate it.

The current Apple hardware warranty provides the following coverage for replacement parts:
A replacementpart or product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance withinstructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining warranty of the Apple Product orninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coveragefor you.
Check your particular warranty and see where you stand as to the period of coverage.
Good luck,

Screen went black but still works

How do I fix iphone 4 screen went black-still works and already tried shutting it off

I fix a lot of phones and have only experienced this once with a customer.She told me that the screen went black but the phone still rang.I thought she was just doing something wrong or that maybe she dropped it and the LCD ribbon cable hopped off the board.By the time she got the phone to me the battery had completely died as she could not turn it off.After I received the phone I plugged it in and to my amazement it came alive after the usual 5 or so minutes it takes an iPhone to fire up after being dead.So if possible let it fully drain and then plug it in at the mains charger.Hope this helps.

LED backlight went black

Day 3 with my new 2.2 15"MBP.
I attempted to use Photo Booth just now, and immediately after the white screen flash - the screen went black. Backlight shut off completely. This was darker than the normal dimming that occurs when idle; but I could still (barely) make out the icons on the desktop. Everything seemed to be functioning normally, albeit in complete darkness.
I hit the power button and clicked Restart. The backlighting returned at the start of the reboot cycle. Everything seems normal, and photo that started this was OK. Took some more pics with no problem.
Im not sure what I should do about this. Is it a one-off or systemic? This is my first Mac. Any thoughts?
MBP 15" 2.2ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9) Purchased 6/12/07

Same here, used it for a week and during a day of air travel he screen just went dark and never came back. Machine works perfectly but is unusable but with an exernal monitor. My retailer is exchanging it for a new one. Very unusual for Apple but as expected the service is no questions asked perfect.

Just came back from the Genius Bar. Dead for good, repairs would be around the price for a new one. What a good way to spend a thousand bucks on an LCD that will die in about a year. I guess I won't buy any expensive LCD from Apple anymore.

Was playing the Ipod and it went black and now won't turn on

was playing the IPod touch with camera and it went black in the middle of a game ans now won't turn on.

After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If it now works you are done.
- Connect it to the computer. If it appears in iTunes restore the iPod
- If not seen, see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

TV went black..

It is less than 2 years old, and today the screen went black. I still have audio. Is it dead?
It's a model 26av502u. 26 inch LCD.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For anyone who is interested, I finally solved it. The TV had decided to sponaneously put all it's 'picture settings' down to zeroes. The answer was to go into each possible 'picture mode' under the 'picture settings' option and use the RESET option which returned them all to the default values. Picture then came back as before.

Screen went black, restarted to 0:01 on 01/01/01 and keychain access lost

I just had my screen go black and the computer shut down completely. Upon restart after pressing the power button, it powered to 0:01 on 01/01/01 and lost keychain access (WiFi). I restarted it a second time about 5 minutes later and these were restored. However, this is the second time this has happened in less than two days. The first time was at 2am and the screen went black and I had to boot it back up with the power button after determining that it wasn't asleep (which it would have no reason to be, I had just gone to brush my teeth).
I've noticed that both times it happened was while it was plugged in and I moved with it. I am extremely careful with my Mac (it cost an arm and leg and I've been very happy with it until now), and I handle it gently so it cannot be due to me setting it down hard. Also, it doesn't recognize the power adapter after the restarts. It's been about 20 minutes now and it still doesn't show that it is being charged nor is the adapter lit.
The first time, the keychain access and date came to within about 15-20 minutes after the initial restart. This second time, I just restarted the computer again and all was well.
I'm really concerned as I've only had it for four months (purchased brand new). While this is a much better crash to length-of-ownership ratio than I had with my PC's, I was thrilled that my MBP had been flawless thus far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The other forum topics I found with this same issue all reported having to seek warranty work. I have no idea how I could be without it right now and I'm leaving for holiday in a week where I'll need it for studying and writing my dissertation.
Thank you in advance!!

Your AppleCare coverage is international, I'm not sure who told you it would't be covered however I'm pretty sure they were flat wrong. Call AppleCare and if you are questioned about where you bought the machine ask to speak to a supervisor, explain your situation, have all your receipts and documentation ready and you should be able to get help. At a minimum if the machine is less than a year old you have a warranty and should take it to your local Apple Store.
As far as update ONLY install updates that specifically designed for your machine.

Connect 4S to USB cable, camera goes black?

At work I have an iMac 24, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with an Apple iPad keyboard dock connected to the USB port. I normally keep my iPad in this dock, but sometime I unplug the dock connector and use it to charge my iPhone 4S.
Yesterday afternoon, after having the phone connected I disconnected it and then the camera dimmed and went black. It was black in every camera app I have, and the default camera stayed at the "shutter" screen. I tried shut down/restart and hard reboot to no avail. Everything else about the phone worked fine.
I was ready to bring it in to the Apple Store, but then last night while I had it connected to an iPhone AC adapter, I hard reset it again and the camera came back on. And worked fine all day... until I connected it to the USB cable and the iMac again this afternoon. This again blacked the camera out in all apps.
I disconnected it and hard reset it, and the camera works.
What could be causing this? Why only when connected to this computer (which I have done for months without incident)? Is the camera about to fail?

Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
