Connect your phone to the wall socket and press and hold display off and on button along with home button for over 10 seconds till Apple logo appears.

Satellite A300 - Not turning on, screen remains black

I have a Satellite A300 laptop. I tried turning it on when I got home from work and the monitor remained blank. The lights come on the bottom (the plug, the power and the battery lights) but the screen remains black.
Can someone help me?

Hi
Its difficult to say whats going wrong here but maybe its just a small issue which could be solved easily.
Try this;
Remove the battery, disconnect the AC adaptor.
Then wait some hours and plug the both parts again.
I had such issue in the past and leave the notebook disconnected during the night.
Next morning I plugged battery and A\c adaptor and the notebook worked again
Maybe this will help you too

My iphone died & I plugged it back in to charge when it powered on the screen remained black. I can hear when I receive a text and siri. I have tried holding down the sleep and home button and restoring in itunes neither worked. The screen on the phone is cracked but has been working fine until now. Please help!!!

Here's how to perform the restore:

If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore. Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.

My iPod touch won't turn on. I have tried plugging it in to charge, but and the screen remains black. I have tried restarting/resetting it to no avail. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Laptop screen remains black (off) when I turn on the computer

Hello,
Today I came home and turned on my laptop as usual except this time the screen remained black. I can hear the fan running and then the usual windows chime at start up, but nothing to view. The HP logo at the back still lights up though. Just the actual screen remains completely black like it is off. I tried connecting it to my tv via HDMI and to an external monitor but there's no signal. I also tried doing a hard reset which I read about here but that did nothing. I feel as though it's just the monitor won't turn on but everything else might be fine.

My i phone screen is black and an apple on it. I'm trying to connect it to computer to i tunes and it's not registering under devices. Any ideas?

My i phone screen is black and has an apple on it. I tried connecting it to my computer but it is not recognizing it under devices. Any Ideas?

You may have done this, but I'd try the home button/power button shutdown first....it sounds like it is hung up in the "boot" process somehow...if that doesn't work as paulcb said, recovery mode may be the only option..I suppose you could also try and let the battery fully discharge...

HT201412 My ipad screen remains black and show a persistent apple logo.

My ipad screen remains black and show a persistent apple logo. Sometimes it turn on and off automatically every 5minutes. I have already restored iOS software for 3 or 4 times. I have also seen with the apple genius supporter. The problem still remain the same. Does anybody have any suggestion beyond that? I dont know how many people are experiencing the same problems. Why dont apple solve this issue seriously? My rating to apple would become dramatically decreased to zero. I have decided not to buy apple product anymore.

We are not Apple here .. you should bring your concerns to their attention.

IMac 24 inch screen remains black

Hi,
iMac starts up in normal way but screen remains black. When I do Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro I see there's nothing wrong with the iMac ... on my MacBook Pro the normal screen from my iMac is shown.
Please some help?
Many thanks,
Johan

Hi guys,
got the same problem. I've even talked to apple's 2nd level support about it.
made pictures for them and so on. Now the important questions!!!
Are you guys smokers ? I bet you are
Apple's 2nd level support told me that this is caused by smoking infront of the imac.
And their solution to this problem (at least here in germany) is to get it cleaned and tell you to stop smoking in front of it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because there are not enough complains about this problem from customers !!
I'm soooo **** !
Please everyone let apple know (call them) that this is a big big problem and they should redesign the iMac's (if it is a design flaw).Or give everyone that has this problem a new one, that doesn't have this problem.
Smokers unit !

MacBook Pro 2008 not turning on, no sign of power and screen remains black

I have a MacBook Pro 2008.
It was working fine until when one morning i wanted to turn it on as usual only to find out that it can not power on.
When i press the power-on button, i can hear the hard disk spinning but no display, the screen remains black like not getting power.
No beep sound when tried to boot without RAM installed.
The battery and the Charger worked fine when tested with another computer.
The RAM works fine when tested with another Computer too.
What could be wrong with my computer, i hope it is not the board that is dead.
How can i overcome this problem?

Op Charles,
You can try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Follow directions for a battery that applies to your machine.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1365
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367
You can check these as well
It sounds as thogh the the GPU may be dead, you can take it in to an Apple Genius (make an appointment) they will disgnose it for free and give you your options.
Good Luck

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

My iphone 4 fell in the toilet 4 days ago and it's been drying in rice since. now when i plug it in, the screen remains black but it will vibrate. is this a good sign or is all hope lost for getting it to work again?

My iphone 4 fell in the toilet 4 days ago and has been drying in rice ever since. I tried plugging it in today and the screen remained black but it did vibrate when i switched it to vibrate. Is that a good sign? Or should I just give up hope already?

well good sign or good sign maybe a strong word
it mean that not all of the device have been damaged by the fluid
but it does not really mean that the screen will ever work again
when drying in rice make sure you don't
1 conceal it so the vapor can't escape or it will not dry enough
2 make sure to leave in on a heating source like a heated floor or radiator to speed up the proccess of the vaporising

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not help, try to connect in recovery mode, described here: iOS: Unable to restore

New ipod nano 6th generation used 3 times. Screen remains black despite a full reset. Something special to do ?

Hi, I just bought a new ipod nano and used it 3 times. Today it did not work and I first believed that the battery was too low. I connected the device to the mac. Sync worked well and charge indicator as well. Nevertheless, the screen remained black. I therefore tried to reset the device and after the resetting, the screen remains as black as before. Any solution ? thanks and regards

If it does not get enough juice from the USB port, it will not charge.
You should NOT connect it to a USB hub. Connect it directly to the computer. If you use a desktop computer, use one of the ports on the back, not one on the front, which tend to be lower power.
You say you are using a macbook, which tend to be better about power. Make sure you don't have any settings that turn off power to the usb ports when the computer goes to sleep. Check your power settings in the settings screen.

Screen remaining black at startup

When starting up my Satellite S55 I can hear the drive running, but sometimes screen remains black. Sometimes it will not shut down if I press the on/off switch or close the lid. Just keeps running with a black screen. I usually leave my laptop plugged in. This computer was purchased in Jan of 2014 and has not been used a lot. Why does this happen frequently?

I have the installation disk from my MBP mid-2010.
The gray discs are specific to the model and build period of the Mac they came with; they won't work on another Mac.
Apple changed the firewire plug from the one machine to the other
You can get a small adapter, or a cable with different plugs at each end. Just so you know what the adapter looks like: http://www.amazon.com/CABLES-FIREWIRE-6-PIN-FEMALE-4-PIN/dp/B000ENY90A
