HT201210 My Iphone 4S screen went black but iTune is unable to finish recovery and software restore.

My Iphone 4S screen went black but the Iphone was still working. I was able to play music with the headset.
I went a head and put it in a safe mode to perform a recovery. iTune updated the software succesfully but is unable to finish recovery and software restore.
I went to the support page to see what suggestion apple has but I had done already what they asked (update software, unplug all other USBs, restart the computer, iTune and restore process).
Any suggestion what I can do?
Thanks

Make an appointment at the genius bar. It's probably a hardware failure.

  • How to fix iphone 4 that the screen went black but it is on

    My iphone 4 screen went black but the light is on.  I can hear the phone rings and other sound from the screen but I can't answer the phone.  The screen won't come on.  What to do?

    Try resetting:  Press both the home and on/off buttons for 10-30 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. (No data loss)

  • My iphone 4s screen went black, then siri stopped working, now the phone wont charge

    My iphone 4s screen went black, but Siri was still working and then a little bit later Siri stopped working. I then let the battery go dead and have plugged it into my laptop and it is not responding. I tried holding the lock button and home button for 10-15 seconds but that did nothing. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    Hi
    how old is the device as the battery may need replacing or if no help visit your local apple store or contact support
    good luck

  • I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • My iphone 4 screen went black and will not come back on, the screen lights up but is still black and will not show anything on the screen, it still vibrates though. help

    my iphone 4 screen went black and will not show anything on it, the phone still vibrates and lights up but the screen is black, HELP.

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  • 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.

  • My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

  • IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?

    IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?  What's would be wrong?? I have dropped it and the lower volume button went partly in side the IPod (thats why i had the assisted touch on) and its been working very slowly fore the last week or so. but other then that it was fine.

    With the information given, If the screen is completely black even after the reset, it's sounds as a hardware issue
    Could be : The battery
                    The charger
                   The phone itself
    You can narrow these down one by one preferably.
    -If you have an extra battery, test it.
    -Try another charging cable or another outlet
    If neither of those affect it, you can also wipe the phone, but that's pretty much the last last step you should do since it erases everything.  Then restoring it. Time varies.
    If you are still having trouble, contacting your carrier, the closest Apple Store, or the technical support line for Apple.

  • My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
    Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
    A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.

  • Iphone 4s screen went black and wont turn on

    Iphone 4s screen  went black and wont turn on... what do I do?

    Does the Vibrate/Mute switch make the iPhone vibrate? Does iTunes on computer recognize the iPhone? If not, then possibly the battery is faulty or worse. If yes, then the LCD Display is not working, possibly the connector came loose and simply needs to be pressed down to the logic board. Of the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. Or worse. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Replacement iPhone is $199 or battery is $80 with Apple.

  • My iPhone 4 screen went black.

    My iPhone 4 screen went black and is not responsive to anything, plus my lock button is broken so there is no way to hard reset it, HELP!!

    I've had a similar problem to this, (apart from the lock button), I called apple up using the option where it was something to do with the recent update to 6.0.1, and from what they said it had happened to more than one other person! They're sending me a replacement, so long as it isn't liquid (water) or accidental damage. Maybe you should try the same if this is still happening? Mine did it more and more frequently as time went on so it may just get worse.
    Hope I helped! Good luck :)
