HT4061 my screen wont light up or turn on

my screen isnt turning on

Hi mrs.romero,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps you can take if your iPhone is not turning on:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Cheers,
- Ari

  • IMac 27 i7 8Gb screen wont light up

    Hi all,
    First of all, i was really happy with my imac 27. It was amazing. So fast...
    But then..
    My imac became very very slow. I Thought it was because my imac was full of crap. I want to play the new saints row 3 game so i decided to create a bootcamp partition for that. So i started bootcamp created a partition and the installation started. Windows 7 x64 ultimate without Service pack.
    My imac was during the install very slow. After 1.5 hours of installation the setup told me: Windows cannot be installed on this hardware. Hmmkay.. weird.
    So i tried a windows vista dvd. After 2.5 hours off installation, windows vista was installed and works. Slow again. I tried windows xp. Blue screen. unable to mount drive. drive errors it said.
    A friend of mine borrought his windows 7 x64 ultimate SP1 cd. I tried that one and after 2 hours  of installation, my imac booted windows 7. My imac was also in windows very slow when it became to harddrive tasks. I installed saints row 3 and start play. it was not playable. the game lagges. And again long wait times.
    After reading possible solutions on internet, my conclusion was the harddrive. so i decided to swap my harddrive because my imac doest have any warranty anymore. :-(
    I work at a pc store. building pc's and laptops and repair them is my core business so i know what i am doing. After checked a few youtube video's i decided to do it. so i pulled the glass off, unscrew the LCD, lift the screen up, disconect the cable replaced the harddrive and put it al together. I replaced my 1TB WD for an new 1TB Samsung.
    The first time the mac booted well and i restored my backup. My mac was fast as **** again and i was really happy. So i installed my bootcamp partition again. and saints row was also fast and good now. Jeeeej..
    But then the second day, my screen wont light up. i hear the sound and the bootup sounds from facebook etc.
    I need to restart 10 times and pull the power cord out etc. then it starts normaly..
    Is this problem because i did not put a wd harddrive in again ? something with the temp sensor ? Screen starter broke?
    Is there someone who have got the same problem ? Anyone who can help me?
    Kind regards from holland
    Greetings Robin

    Regards everyone.
    This same issue happened to my new iMac last week. The screen has still not turned on, as I write this I am using a secondary monitor on the machine.
    There is a very long thread here - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2223188?start=390&tstart=0 with many other users having this problem. My guess is that it has nothing to do with you switching hard drives.
    I do not know of any solutions this thread offers, only to show you that this is a known issue. There are many theories, the most popular one having something to do with bluetooth devices but again, nothing conclusive.
    Honestly, for the past week I've come to this fourm and everyday there is a new thread with this problem happening, mostly with the 27 inch models. I find it very absurd Apple would be so in the dark about this.
    Unfortunatley, I have not heard any perment solutions, currently I am still searching for a way to get my monitor to come back on.
    Best of luck figuring out how to turn the monitor back on and what to do to stop it occuring again.

    Hi
    This may be a disply issue try to connect a external monitor to your notebook and see if you get the display there.
    You can connect to an external monitor via a VGA or HDMI connection.  The usual process to transfer the video output to an external source is to hold down the fn key and press f4.  Use the arrow keys to select 'Projector Only' and hit enter.

  • My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Water damage screen wont light up

    I have just washed my iPod touch 4th generation.  It was in the water for almost a minute.  I took the iPod out of the washer and put in a bag of rice.  After a day I took the iPod out and it worked, for a little bit.  Then it stopped working.  You can still see the back screen if you hold the iPod to a light, but the backlight of the iPod itself doesnt turn on.
    Is there a way I can fix this or can the Apple store fix it.  I have a 90 warranty left on this iPod.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Liquid damage is not covered by the warranty

  • Screen wont stay off when turned off via ctrl - shift - eject, turns back on within 5-10 seconds - 10.7.2

    I usually have my MBP next to me and when I'm not using it I either use the hot-corner to turn the screen off or the ctrl - shift - eject keys.
    But when the screen is off it wakes up within 5-10 seconds every time, nothing I can see has changed since this didn't used to be an issue.
    It's always stayed off but recently it hasn't been.
    I'm on 10.7.2, I even shut down every app and just had it running stock OSX and it still does it.
    I have no peripherals connected to it, bluetooth is also off.
    Does anyone know of a fix or is this just happening to me?
    Many thanks in advances.

    i would take back to store and exchange.
    if this is new behaviour then make sure you running the latest update.
    if that doesn't fix it...hold off a few months and upgrade to torch 2 but if you still within exchange time from when you got it...exchange...within warranty time? rma it.

  • My HP envy ultrabook left hinge broke and now my screen wont light up

    So I have had this computer for a little over a year and a half and about 2 months ago my left hinge broke. I was out of the country studying abroad so there wasn't much I could do about it. After I got home I didnt have the time nor the money to fix it so I was just carefully opening and closing it. Well today when I opened it, the screen wouldn't light up. I really need to get it fixed fast because I am a full time college student and my classes depend on having a computer. What can I do? Oh I should say, it is not under the warranty anymore.Help please? 

    Hi HP + all, I am currently in a similar situation. The bottom left part of the frame (very close to the left hinge) is detached from the screen, making it difficult to open and close the laptop. I have had this problem at least two (most three) times in the past year and each time have sent it to HP for repair while having the one-year waranty. It appears to be an issue of faulty glue, but if left untreated, the opening and closing gets more difficult (even while I hold the frame and screen together while performing such actions) and the left hinge will start creaking. My warranty is expired and the additional repair period that HP gives after a repair (30 days? 90 days? I forgot) is over. My last repair was in late 2013 or early 2014. I do not carry my latop by the frame at all, and I treat the Ultrabook with care (gently placing on table when using after first frame separation). I no longer close it at all and only use it on my home desk. It's very frustrating to repeatedly have the same issue, very frustrating that I can't take it to public places without risking something, and it also makes me unhappy since each cycle of sending the laptop over and waiting for it to come back takes away a week or more of work. Can someone please address this? I am nearing my wit's end with this repeated issue. Thanks.

  • I was using my iPad and then I locked it and now the screen wont light up and when I plug it into iTunes it doesn't show up under devices

    I was using my iPad one morning looking at ebay, and then I locked it and came back and when I clicked the home button nothing happend. When I clicked the lock button nothing happened, when I plugged it into iTunes nothing happened and it didn't show uunder "Devices" on to side. Please help me I don't know how to fix this and it's been two days since it happened.

    I would then try and do a hard reset like Fernando recomends if that doesnt work you might need to try a DFU Restore.

  • My lock screen wont light up. I put it on the charger and it still makes the tone to let me know that its charging. I also got my dad to call it from his phone, it rang but my lock screen wont light up. I cant use my lock screen button because it broken.

    It is not working what do i do

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't work Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Ipod touch screen very dim wont light up

    I can tell the ipod touch first generation is working. I can see the icons but the screen wont light up.Its very dim like when it going to sleep.

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely the backlight or it driver circuits. It might not be worth getting a 1G iPod fixed:

  • Ipod Touch Screen wont time out?

    So about two days ago I noticed that my ipod's screen wont time out and turn off, if I for example decide to manually change a song rather then skip it from my headphones, it stays on, so i have to manually turn of the screen while I'm playing music..I don't know why I haven't changed any settings or droped it nor has any water gone in it. Is this normal? I mean its not too much of a problem but since I do use it most of the day at work it makes my battery run out much faster. Any help is much appreciated.

    It might be one of two things.
    I know you said you didn't change any thing but,
    Check under settings, general, and autolock it might be on 'Never' change that
    Or i might be misunderstanding.
    You might be use a stereo base and i don't know but if you are, the ipod, if on the 'Now Playing' page is up, will not go to sleep automatically

  • My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black.  I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?

    Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
    Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
    The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.
