    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

    If my Iphone is on but my screen is black, what should i do?

    Hi dbrown23,
    Try and do a hard reset first to see if it may resolve the issue.
    Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and choose the reset information.
    Failing that, it might be that the display panel may be damaged or not functional.
    If this is the case it is best to bring it to an Apple Retail Store Genius Bar to get it inspected/serviced.
    Alternatively you can bring the device to an Apple authourised service providers.
    Go to https://locate.apple.com/ for more support.
    Best of Luck,

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • HT201177 Macbook Pro is turned on but the screen is black.

    Ok, I have read A LOT of discussions on this issue but it seems like nothing works.
    I bought my Macbook Pro 13" in September 2012 (so i've had it for a little over a year) in the States. So, I was just using the laptop a couple nights ago, then I closed the lid to the Sleep mode. Then, yesterday morning, I plugged in the charger and unplugged it after the batter's full (showed the green light). Later on that day in the afternoon, I opened the lid to wake up the laptop...but the SCREEN wouldn't display.... It has remained BLACK .... I KNOW the mac is still working..cuz when I turn it on the Caps Lock button shows green light and the sleeping light at the front is working...
    I don't think it's  RAM problem...cuz I did that Option-Comman-P-R thingy..and held it until I heard the third startup chime... (I held those keys at the SAME time...WAS I SUPPOSED TO press them one by one??)
    Last method I used was the SAFE mode...and now the VOLUME buttons and the keyboard light buttons Dont work now.....
    PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOUUUU!!!

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • My ipod is on you can here the sounds and everything but the screen stays black, what can i do?

    for days my ipod 4g screen has stayed black and i plug in the charger i can hear the sound just cant see the image it just stays black what can i do? is ti broken? what part needs to be fixed?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My macbook pro screen went black and won't display back to the normal screen. When I turn it on I can hear the computer starting up and the keyboard light turn on but the screen stays black. What can I do? Help please!

    Please help! I can't get my screen to turn back on. It just stays black when I turn it on. Is there anything I can do to reboot it or am I just out of luck
    Thanks!

    Did you buy the Applecare extended warranty? If not then you will need to pay for whatever repairs need to be done.
    You will need to take the system to an Apple store Genius Bar for a check up.

  • Equium A300D-16C turns on but the screen shows nothing/stays black

    Hi there, I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C laptop.
    It was fine until now...
    When I press the power button, my laptop turns on but the screen remains black / off.
    HDD indicator doesn't flash or anything ... ( in case this helps )
    I've also tried to remove the battery, hold the power button for 30s and plug the power cord back in... Same thing laptop turns on but screen is black.
    I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
    I haven't changed anything inside my laptop or unscrewed it.
    PS:
    I quite often kept my laptop on the bed/pillow so it may have something to do with overheating or something.
    How did I get to this point:
    Yesterday my laptop was fine, there was nothing wrong with it... I switched it off at night but when I tried to switch it back on this morning that's where I faced this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Rejanu.

    Hello
    > I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
    Its very good that you have this test with an external monitor because so you could make sure its not related to internal monitor and its working properly.
    Well, you have tried a lot so my personal opinion is its a serious hardware malfunction It could be related to mainboard or CPU in my opinion
    I think such hardware diagnostic can only be done from an authorized service provider. I think you should contact the guys. They can help you to get rid of this problem :)

    If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display
