How do I fix my black iphone screen.

I have an otterbox case on my iphone 4s. I dropped it and when I picked it up the screen was black with white lines. I held the buttons as a reset then the screen just turned black. The phone is still working and I know this because the screen gets brighter when I hit the power button, it vibrates when I charge it or turn the ringer off, and when I hold the home button I hear Siri. Please help!
P.S I have tried to restore it from itunes but it says I cannot because it is locked with a passcode! But I cannot enter my passcode, the screen is black!!

If a reset didnt help then you would try to restore via recovery mode. The link can guide you on how to do this:

Otherwise book an appointment at an Apple Store to have your iPhone evaluated.

  • How do i fix a black print screen after downloading adobe reader?

    I downloaded acrobat and reader late last week on my mac.  I've noticed when I go to print a pdf file, the preview screen is black and when i actually print, it's black.  How do i fix this please?

    Quit Safari
    Go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Look for "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" and "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin"
    "Trash" them both. You may need to enter your admin password.
    Empty the trash.
    Relaunch Safari and open the PDF.
    It should be OK.

  • How do i fix my itouch. the screen is black but it still responds to touch

    How do i fix my itouch. the screen is black but it still responds to touch

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  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.

    How can I fix fine black horizontal lines {and now I notice shading} across the bottom of my screen?

    What kind of machine?  Could try smc and pram reset.  But if it's the display or video card failing it won't do any good.  If it's a mac pro blow out the dust and reseat the video card.

  • How do I change the default iPhone screen capture format to .jpg? I have an iPhone 5.

    How do I change the default iPhone screen capture format to .jpg?
    I have an iPhone 5 (but I'm sure users with other models would like to do this as well).
    My online searches have not found an answer -- I did find a discussion thread that was essentially, "Why would you want to do that?" Those posts are not welcome! Not looking for a work-around, an intermediate step, or the need to change the file format on a computer, etc. Just want to hit the two buttons and have the resulting capture be a JPEG file.
    Not interested in jailbreaking or using apps that require jailbreak -- Want to do this with a new phone.
    Thank you in advance for any help!!

    You can't.

    IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info.  There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either.  So, it seems I'm back to square one.
    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

  • ITunes 11 how do I arrange apps on iPhone screens from computer? Device tab disappears???

    I just downloaded iTunes 11, and am regretting it. It is super easy to buy new music, apps and vids, but I can't figure out how to get it to display my iPhone screens on the computer.  It will sync, when I plug in my phone via a USB cord, but other than that...what the heck?  I tried to click on my Device tab but the second I do, that tab just disappears.  Nothing changes, I get no screen showing my iPhone screens, no way to move around my apps in iTunes.  What am I missing or doing wrong?  I can go to my Apps tab and see all my apps, in alphabetical order.  I can select them all and update them, etc., etc., but I just can't figure out how to show my iPhone screens while in iTunes. 
    I've searched online and found a How To that shows your phone comes up after you click on the Device tab...but I can't get that Device tab to work.  HELP!  This is driving me nuts and making me feel completely illiterate.

    This is what I done on my Macbook Pro 10.7.5, Using iTune 11.0.1 to Sync with my iPad 2.
    Here you go
    Once iTunes 11.0.1 is up & running
    On the top Left hand side, Click on Apps
    In the Middle of iTunes, Click on iPad or iPhone
    Then on the top right corner, Click on your device icon with the Eject button
    Then you should see you device screen at the bottom were you can start moving around apps or etc.....
    I hope this tip Help
