Ipad: black screen when battery has charge
Some months ago, somebody walked on my friend's ipad 2 (model A1395 16GB) and broke the digitizer. The ipad was working with the touchscreen broken. It was then left untouhed for 2 or 3 months. My friend learned that I know a bit about electronics and computer and was capable and willing to help do a straight digitizer swap. She then bought the kit online and I have replaced the digitizer for her.
The problem now is this:
- when the battery is empty and I plug the ipad in the mains and press the home button, the screen shows for a few seconds, in the middle on a blue background, the empty battery with 3 red lines at the bottom. So the screen is woring, OK?
- wrong! When I come back after having waited for the battery to charge (wether it is 30 minutes, 2 hours or 24 hours), pressing the home the first time give me a kind of explosion or passing wave of light on the screen, lasting less than a second, then the screen stays black. No matter how many times I press the home button afterwards, the backlights light up but the screen remains black.
- after reading a few forums, I have tried the "spanking" method, or the way I do it it is the "light tapping" method, getting progressively stronger but always controlled (it's not my ipad). Of all the sisty or seventy taps I must have made at different times, I got a result only once: for 1 or 2 seconds I saw a screen (I think blue but can't be certain) with a turning circle in the middle. I think it was a circle made of dashes but I can't be sure, it was so brief! It was definitely animated though!
I don't screen the screen is broken, because it displays perfectly the empty battery logo.
What could happens that means the screen does not display when the battery is charged? Has anybody got any ideas?
Hi Skydiver,
so is there a different circuit for power when the batteries are not working? I am just wondering why the screen work in that instance.
It seems as if we should have sent the ipad back to Apple straight away. It seems simple enough to change the digitizer though...
Should I try now to change the battery? We seem to have nothing to loose.

Software hiccup, glitch or maybe faulty battery. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if this helps. If still problem that you think is serious enough to fix, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Black screen when battery is inserted
Hi everyone. Suddenly my 2009 white macbook goes to black screen when the battery is inserted. From startup with the battery in place [and power cord in or out] the computer starts but goes to black screen after the grey apple logo and little grey spinning thing. If i look very closely i can see the images on the screen. If i remove the battery with the power cord in, the computer behaves normally. If i put the battery back in again it goes dark again. Therefore i can only run it using the power cord. The battery is fully charged, the computer charges the battery ok and I've tried a few different batteries. Have zapped the PRAM and reset the charging thing. I'm out of ideas folks ! Thanks
OK so I have a 2008 white macbook and it will work just fine if i have the power cord plugged to it but with the batte out so with no battery placed in it now when I try to place in the battery my screen dimmes down to the lowest point it can so the screen looks black but if u look closely you can barly see the the windows on the screen

iPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button but I dont see the apple logo. The battery is fully charged and when I plug it in to my computer, I can use iTunes to do everythng except backup the iPad since its passcode locked. Please help me resolve this problem. I don't have apple care
Yup! I've been there! You just have to double-tap the screen with three fingers and the zoom should go back. You have to turn off the feature in Settings>Accessibility>Zoom>and turn the switch off so this won't happen again when you double-triple tap.

My ipad's screen is black. When it take charge, I can hear sound but still black. I press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds but this doesn't work. Screen still black! PLS HELP ME!How long did you let it charge? It may take 30 minutes before the iPad responds when the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minute using the wall charger. Then rest the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
If the iPad still does not start make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. -
My iphone has a black screen, when I attach the charger i get a beeping noise. It does not seem to be charging ?
try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

hey i have an ipod touch 5gen ,it has stopped responding and is showing a blank black screen.when ever i connect it to itunes it gives a sound of the connection. what am i suppose to do?(ios7)
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.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else! -
Have been here before but still have not resolved a fix for a black screen when I try to access a PDF file using Safari...Now I've got a new iPad and need the User Guide which is only available in PDF and FireFox will not work.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -

Has anyone encountered an "exclamation point symbol" in a gray circle surrounded by a black screen when editing in iphoto?
Yes.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
