Iphone: Screen gone black, Won't turn off, Restore has failed, 1.1.3

Hi,
I am having a problem with my iphone after upgrading to 1.1.3. The screen has gone black with a white spinning wheel(resembles a flower sort of).The wheel however is not spinning. I can see the top bar with the time, battery, and signal strength. The phone however will not turn off and restore yields an "Unknown Error (-19). Has anyone else had this problem after updating? Anyone have a fix for it or is this a job for the genius bar?

I have reached out to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know why it went black

I have reached out to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know
1. Why it went black and is there a permanent fix for this
2.Will the IOS gets automatically updated as I feel the IOS was 5 when I got the phone in 2012 december
3.Do you suggest 7.1 for Iphone 4

1. There is no way of knowing. These things happen.
2. The iOS only gets updated when you want it to be.
3. You should always update to the latest iOS your phone will support. Apple do not write the updates to make your experience worse.

Iphone screen is black

what to do when Iphone screen went black, but the messages alerts are still coming through?

Hello Asia95,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
From what you describe it sounds like the phone is still on, and functioning except the screen is black so you cant see anything.
I would recommened these steps from the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802.
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
All the very best,
Sterling

XPS One 2720, screen gone black?

Hi,
I got Dell all in one XPS 2720 last July, 2014. It has been working fine so far only once the touch screen lost and regained once I sort it out the issue with USB. I have not connect this computer to internet for the last 3 months. Today I connected it to internet after one hour the computer screen gone black not responding to any touch function, It also does not respond to any keyboard touch. I tried to read the "me and my dell" instruction, nothing seems work. anybody has some advise.

Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the XPS One 2720. Press and hold in the power button for 15 seconds. Reconnect the power cord. Press the power button.
Are there any beep codes?
Look at the power button:
Solid amber = The computer has detected an error during power on self-test
Breathing amber = The computer is in sleep/standby state or There is a possibility of system facing an issue
Solid white = The computer is ON
Off = The computer is off or in hibernate state

Screen gone black

my iphone screen has gone black
when i plug it into the computer it syncs
but i cant see anything on the screen
and therefore cant use it at all
what can i do?

Hi there JesaBenstock.
My screen keeps going black as well. I can hear the phone ringing and receiving text messages but cannot answer them as screen black and frozen - perhaps it's the Winter Virus!? Have you any idea why this is happening or is yours all better now?
I now know about holding sleep and home key to get back to life but would rather it didn't freeze at all.
Cheers, Pam

Iphone screen went black

Randomly today, my iPhone 4 screen went black. I can receive calls and I see volume levels. Screen black.

I am seeing the same thing. After I enter my password, the screen goes black. I can still see the sound level, and I have the home button triple press to show the negative of the screen. So when I triple press it, the screen goes white with a black volume level displays. A hard reset fixes it, but it has happened 5 times in the last 3 days. Never happended before that. I'm hoping it coinsides with the latest software upgrade, and they can fix it.

My iPhone screen went black and won't turn back on.

Yesterday, my iPhone 4S screen went black and won't turn back on. So I tried just letting charge but after an hour nothing happened, so then I switched out the chargers and made sure the outlet I was using worked. But it still was black. Then I did a little research and I tried to put it into DFU mode but my power button has been broken for a few months now, so that didn;t work either. Then I tried restoring it, but my computer didn't recognize it!!! So then over night I let it rest with no power source connected to it. This morning I plugged it back into a power source and it showed the charging icon. I'm pretty that means it's still running, but I'm not an expert. PLEASE HELP!

If you have got a different USB Sync cable try to charge your iPhone with that as there are possibilities that your current USB cable or Power Adapter is not Charging your iPhone. If it still doesn't work make an appointment to Nearest Apple Genius Bar
