I phone just a black screen

i had my phone on at the photo album screen today and left it that way for about 5 mins. (battery life was at about 45%) when i looked back at it, it was dead, and i couldn'get it working again. Currently its plugged into my computer but it still has no life in it. just a black screen.. absolutely no power at all. had it about a month. can't be a battery problem surely?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try a reset by holding the home and sleep button until the Apple logo comes up again?
If this does not help, charge your phone for about 10 min. using the adapter and connect it again in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

    Did you ever figure out how to turn your phone on?  Mine died today around noon for no reason.  I'm so mad at it!  I can't get it turned on, and I KNOW the battery is charged.  Suggestions?  I'm going to the genius bar (another trip completely out of my way) tomorrow morning.  Suggestions??  Oh and please don't tell me to hold the "home" button and the "power" button together because I've been doing that all day.  It doesn't work.

    Leave it alone for an hour and try the reset procedure again. Make sure you're using a genuine Apple charger & cable in a known good wall outlet. You can also try another cable if necessary, and make sure the charging area is clean and free of fluff & debris.

  • I plugged my iphone into itunes on a new computer nothing happened and now even when i unplug it, its just a black screen with itunes icon and a usb...someone please help?

    PLEASE HELP!

    Plug in your phone and launch iTunes on the computer. Then in the sidebar look for something about an iPhone. Click it and set up your iPhone. Has this iPhone ever been synced with another computer?

    Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603 & 1611 appeared! please help me!!

    You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • N97 camera won't start(just a black screen)

    My N97 camera won't start just a black screen  this issue since the update to the new firmware

    ooooooooops so sorry about this, here it goes and start with the first code. 
     With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

    I was downloading an app and it wasnt downloadnig so i turned my ipod off and now its a just a black screen with the the loading circle. Its been like that for 10 hours. How do i get back to my home screen? or how do i get the litle loading circle to go away.. it wont even load into itunes

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My camera is not working, just a black screen, won't take pics please help

    WWhy won't my camera take pics..just a black screen ?

    CClose the camera app and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT1430 My iPhone 4 will not power on.  When connected to iTunes it shows battery at 100%.  Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen.

    My iPhone 4 will not power on.  When connected to iTunes via my computer, it is recognized and shows fully charged battery.  Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen.  Any suggestions?

    Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

  • ITunes purchased shows do not playback just a black screen

    My wife and son are leaving tomorrow to ME. We purchased ~1$12 worth of shows. They playback in iTunes application but do not playback on her iPod video 30GB and she is running 1.1.2 firmware.
    You can select the video and feel the drive queueing it up but just a black screen is displayed. I have other videos I have converted myself and they work fine.
    Any ideas on what causes this?

  • TS3354 I downloaded a movie but when I play it, it's just a black screen

    I downloaded a movie on my iPad but when I go to play it, it's just a black screen. The whole entire movie is just a black screen.

    Hi, Ktjayne05.
    I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device.  If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.  Test playing the movie after processing these steps.
    If the movie still displays a black screen, I would recommend deleting the movie and downloading it again free of charge by accessing your purchases via the iTunes Store.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Safari has no graphics just a black screen

    Okay ... that is usually caused by a problem that also makes the iTunes Store go black too. So even though Drgoo's post about fixing it in the following post is about fixing the iTunes issue, fingers crossed it should also help with your Safari problem too:
