HT201263 my iphone 4s i unresponsive. the screen was stuck on something and now it's black

Hi, my iphone 4s suddenly froze and became unresponsive on the home screen. now it's asleep and it doesn't respond - it's black. If i press on the home siri sometimes says something. I can hear incoming calls and it works - the screen is just black.
The thing is my off/ on botton is not working too.
I triend to force restore iphone - but it says i have to turn off "find my iphone" first so I can' do that.
Hope someone can help!!
Thanks!

Hi mfiphone98,
If your iPhone is has a black screen, but you are hearing sounds and Siri, you may have inadvertantly activated an Accessibility feature known as Screen Curtains. You may find the following helpful (page 130):
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

    My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using.  Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't.  It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years!  Please help!

    When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

  • The display was working just fine and now it seems it darkened. I can barely see what is displayed in the screen and can't understand what's going on.

    I can't understand why all of a sudden the display on my computer got all darkened, and I have to tilt the computer to barely see what I'm writing or the icons. I tried the brightening the screen but it didn't work so I'm concerned on what's going on.... 

  • I use Yahoo as my home page. As soon as I left it, the screen was grabbed by something that took it to a page including "adap.tv" in the URL. Help!

    I use current version of Firefox on a Windows XP desktop machine. I normally use Yahoo as my home page and Firefox as my browser. Starting a few weeks ago, when I clicked on a link on the main Yahoo page, I would get about one second of whatever it was I wanted to read or see then another screen that included "adap.tv" in the very long URL would replace it. Starting yesterday, this program began to override the security settings in Firefox that told it to NOT change the home page and I now get about one second of Yahoo before it switches to a page with "adap.tv" in the "URL". I have reloaded Firefox without success.

    Try to reset your Firefox

  • HT4528 How do I get my iPhone 4 to get the screen from being frozen on the "Connect to iTunes" and to be recognized by my iTunes?

    Alright, so what had happend to cause this, let me just sum it up for you in the steps I took.
    Turn on iTunes.
    Plug iPhone into the laptop in order to be recognized by iTunes.
    Start to update the phone onto iOS7.
    Message pops up saying I have to download latest version of iTunes.
    Download iTunes update.
    Try again to download iOS7 update onto the phone.
    Says that it'll take around 2 hours to complete, so I wait.
    After about 45 minutes to an hour later, it says that there was an error that had occured.
    Screen on the iPhone remains stuck now on the part where it says "Preparing the download..."
    After another hour or so it then switches onto the "Connect to iTunes" screen and remains there.
    iTunes isn't recognizing that I'm plugging it in.
    Already tried troubleshooting it with my laptop and it said that both "Apple Mobile Device Drivers weren't responding."
    Decide to look more into it and find out that in order to fix that problem, I'd have to uninstall iTunes (in a specific order at that)
    After uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I plug the phone back into my laptop, and now it's making the noise that I'm plugging it in, but it still isn't showing up onto iTunes.
    So there you have it. I really hope that this gives you any insight as to what my situation is at hand. So... Please help? :/

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, I had been looking in e-mail accounts and there was no sent folder. However, your email prompted me to check again just now and the sent folder has reappeared and the last message I just sent a few minutes ago is in there. Thank you. I guess after re-establishing the account it just takes a couple of hours?

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

  • At night, as soon as I plug my iphone to be recharged, my iphone starts behaving abnormaly.  It is like somebody has taken control of it.  I see the screens moving, music starts playing and then stopping, etc.

    At night, as soon as I plug my iphone to be recharged, my iphone starts behaving anomaly.  It is like somebody has taken control of it.  I see the screens moving, music starts playing and then stopping, etc.  I have noticed that several nights.  What I do is in Settings is to change  into Plane Mode, thinking that, may be if I do that, somebody that has taking control of it will not be able to download data.  Yesterday night, I was awakened by an alarm, whose setting I did not changed. When I looked over, the alarm screen changed to Settings and the Plane Mode changed alone in front of my eyes, from on to off.
    I have not observed such a situation during the day. Only when I plug the cable.
    I suspected that may be there is no Trojan installed. May be the cable, which is a spare cable, has been modified by a hacker, and it has electronics installed in the connector.  But tested with the original cable, and the behavior was the same, as described above.

    Thanks Meg for your reply.
    It could be that both cable are bad. But, anyway, you would not expect any of these manifestations, even with a bad cable. I had bad cable for my 4s, and never saw such a thing! 
    I contacted by chat the support of Apple.  They told me that this behavior could be a software problem and recommended me to do a full recover of my iphone. That meant, putting in at the factory conditions and recup all the data from the backup.  I did that, and the behavior did not change.  The backup was made with the data of my PC, not icloud.  Tomorrow will try with icloud and check if that will work. 

  • My iphone 5 is frozen on the screen that shows a cable and itunes symbol.  I can not get the phone to enter DFU mode and itunes does not recognize the phone when plugged in to itunes.  The phone was mid update when it was disrupted....

    I plugged my iphone in to do an update and it was mid way through the update when the phone was accidentally disconnected.  Now the phone is stuck on the screen that shows a cable and the iTunes image suggesting the phone needs to be plugged in to iTunes.  I have plugged it in, powered on and off, attempted to enter DFU mode numerous times all with no success.  ITunes does not recognize the phone and I continue to only receive the screen saying I need to plug in to iTunes..  Please help!

    Hold Sleep Button with Home Button toghether until it restarts Always it takes 8 to 15 seconds, after it restarts leave the sleep button and remember do not leave the home button it automaticlly switches to DFU mode.

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
    I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

  • My iphone 4s works, but the screen is completely black... does anybody know how to fix this?

    Hi i woke up three days ago to my iphone 4s not working, assuming it had no charge i plugged it in and fully charged the battery.
    when i returned the screen was still black, but the phone was functioning (ringing and accepting text messages etc)...
    The screen has been blank since and have tried things like restoring and hard resets, but this has not worked. a very very vague image appears when in use but it is almost impossible to see.
    Can anybody suggest a way to maybe fix this issue if it is possible?
    If it is not possible would i be entitled to a replacement or free repairs as I have had the phone less than 1 year and should still qualify for the warranty?
    Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. It sounds like the backlight has failed.
    If it's under warranty, there will be no charge so long as the phone isn't physically damaged.

    After adding the latest update to my 5c iphone, the screen was black, with the itune logo in the center, a white arrow below it point to the logo, and below that, what seemed to be a white lock, but it had a long white line reaching the bottom of the screen.  I can't get the phone to start.  The white apple appears and then I get the same logo, arrow, etc.  What can I do to fix this?  Thanks for any assistance.
