I dropped my iphone in toilet...screen is black but sound is working

I dropped my iphone in the toilet a week ago and immediately put it into rice. The screen went black as soon as I dried it off but, it kept vibrating until it ran out of battery. I left in rice until this morning when I put it on charge, it turned on but the screen is still black, I called it and the sound works. Any suggestions?

You can leave in in the dry rice for more weeks, however, once water gets in it is very difficult to remove and corrosion starts and continues.
Realistically, there is little chance that your iPhone will recover to a reliable state.

    I understand that your iPad is sporadically becoming unresponsive and the screen is turning black. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested steps in the attached article.

  • I dropped my iphone now the screen is black. would a screen repair fix that. if not what do i do i dont want to waist any of my money.

    About a day ago i dropped my iphone 4. ever since then my screen has been black. i have been able to hear voice control and music but i dont know how to fix it. it was not far off the ground but to be fair it had been through a lot. i have an appointment to get a screen repair to see if it would fix it. does anybody know if it does? if not please let me know so i dont waste my money. and also if you do know how to fix it please let me know. thanks!

    Try Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. When you go for repair, ask them to just push the LCD connector back down perfect to the Logic Board, is may simply have just been jarred loose slightly. If you go to Apple, this is handled for $149 with perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly same as yours.

  • Help! Dropped phone, screen is black but phone still works...

    I dropped my iPhone 4S today and the screen went black (thankfully it didn't shatter), but the phone still works perfectly fine. I can still touch it and everything; unfortunately I obviously can't see what I'm doing because it's black. Another problem is that my lock button has been broken/jammed for a while, so I can't try to reset it with holding the home button and lock button, which I've heard could work.
    Is there something I can do myself? Or should I just bring it to an Apple store? Even then, can they fix it or is my phone done for good?

    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.

  • My iphone 4s screen is black the sound is working and I know it is on because the back light will light up, but it is black. The reset button also will not work.

    My iphone 4S has a black screen. The sounds still works and it will turn on a and off, but the screen is just black. I tried to reset it but the apple sign never shows.

    Hey there PDWPDW,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’ve already done quite a bit of troubleshooting in an attempt to resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 4S. Take a look at the articles linked below, the first will walk you through the process of restoring your device from recovery mode and the second provides some additional troubleshooting suggestions that you may not have tried already.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Ciao,
    -Jason

  • HT1551 Screen goes black but sound continues when watching netflix on apple tv

    Screen goes black intermittently when watching Netflix , sound remains. Broadband is strong , not sure what problem is

    That will usually indicate a network issue. First try rebooting ATV and router.
    Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try ethernet. Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

  • Apple screen turned black, but siri is working and i can get keyboard

    Ipad screen turned black, can see Siri, and can get keyboard, but seems like display has changed...
    How can I get back my display, when I can't see the screen. Help please

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple, let to and let it reboot. see if that helps

  • Iphone screen is basically black, but sound still works aswell as the light beside the camera

    Hi. I have an iphone 4s and the screen is barely readable. it is nearly completely black. The light beside the camera seems to come on every time that I turn on the phone but yet the screen doesn't seem to come on. i have restored the iphone and done everything it says in other forums but yet nothing is working. it is on the set up screen ready to set up as a new iphone but it is so hard to see everything that i cannot set it up. im planning on bringing it back to vodafone tomorrow to see if they can do anything. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Sounds like it may be a hardware issue.
    Did the issue happen over time or did something cause it (dropped it, water, etc.)

  • Screen is black but phone still working

    my iphone 4s has a black screen but is still working

    Can the problem be fixed? Yeah. Put phone in trash, purchase replacement.
    Can the phone be fixed? Only until it has been opened and components checked for water damage so the extent of the same is ascertained. However, since such damage is not covered by warranty, Apple will probably offer a replacement since they do not repair them. At cost.
    Good luck at the Store.
    When the problem gets fixed, you may consider that a waterproof case is cheaper than what this incident cost you.

  • Screen is black, but phone still works

    I was opening up an app and then the screen of my phone went dark. I let it be for about 30 minutes then went to go plug it into the charger to see if that would help. I then found out that Siri was still working and it would vibrate as soon as I put it in the charger. Someone please help me because I do not know what to do to fix this problem!!

    Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for up to 1 minute, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

  • Black screen but sounds still work

    My iphone 4's screen went black but the sounds and vibrations still work if I'm getting a call. I've taken the sim card out and put it back and restored my phone but it still won't turn on.

    If Restore with iTunes on computer did not fix the iPhone, then the next step would be evaluating or replacement of the iPhone front screen assembly. At Apple Store it would be handled with Replacement iPhone 4 exactly same as yours, same color, same GB, for $149.

  • I dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

    I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal).  icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
    Thanks

    Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.
