Please Answer Quickly As Possible!

Hi there Bradvance! What is your suburb? I will try to find the nearest possible Apple Store. And have you tryed resetting it by doing this?
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
You are required to connect to your computer. Thanks!

My iphone 4 screen goes black but still rings and eveything else. Please help

I've tried a hard reset but that doesn't work. I was listening to music and went to change the song and my screen wouldn't show. My phone rings and gets texts, but the screen will not show.

do a soft reset, hold the lock and home screen at the same time for 4 seconds, that's what fixed mine and it fixes about 90% of all problems like that on the iPhone

IiPad air2 suddenly freezes, the screen goes black but the sound is still on, I have taken it back to factory settings and it was OK then yesterday it froze again, only plugging it into my IMac got it going again. Anyone else got this problem?

Greetings jupiejupie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
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.

When watching netflix on appletv is goes black but the sound is still there

When watching netflix on appletv after 5 mins it goes black but the sound is still there and only resumes if I rewind or fast forward and then sometimes just goes back to the home menu

Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

My screen went black but still rings

My screen is black but still rings. What do I do

Hello Bradley,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone screen remained dark when the phone was on. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.

Hp envy m6 screen goes black but computer is still running

My grandson has a HP Envy M6 laptop, every so often the screen on his laptop goes black but the computer is still running. If he is watching a DVD on the TV via hdmi cable the movie still plays on the tv but the screen on the laptop is still black. Sometimes it will come back up, other times he has to turn it off and restart. Please, somebody give me an answer because my grandson is in college and if I can't get this fixed, he is expecting Grandma to buy him a new laptop.

Well, I went back and reread your links and realized that the second one was to update the bios. Since I know that my grandson might not even know what the bios is much less how to update it or know that it needs to be updated. So I updated the bios and although I hesitate to say that fixed the problem since it has only been a couple of house, I haven't had the screen cut out on me since I did the update.

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.

Mp4 on ipad - screen goes black

Hi all,
I have some 'home movies' that i'd like on my ipad (wedding video - nothing sinister). It works in itunes, it works on my iphone but when i transfer it to the iPad and press play, the screen goes black and i can hear the sound, just not see the video. It also doesn't let me pause or show any of the usual icons that show when you touch the screen.
Do you think i need to do something difeent for the iPad than the iPhone?
The videos are .MP4
Video Codec - H.264
Thanks for any help!

What program did you use too get to the format you loaded in iTunes and what output did you specify? Also, what are some other specifics such as framerate and audio format. They have to meet:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

When I turn on my iPhone 4S the apple logo pops up for a split second then the screen goes black but the phone itselfs boots up just fine???

I tried replacing the screen with no luck. The same thing happened with the new screen. I replaced the backlight coil and the backlight ic and still have the issue. I don't know what else could be the problem. If the battery is completely dead and I plug it in the "charging battery" symbol shows just fine during the entire time it is charging, but as soon as it starts to boot up the apple logo shows for a split second then the screen goes black. The rest of the phone still boots up just fine. I can use SIRI, press the lock button like I'm about to use my phone and slide my thumb across where the "slide to unlock" would normally be and it will make the unlock noise just no picture display. I am pretty tech savvy when it comes to repairs and all of the connections look fine, replaced backlight coil and ic, replaced LCD/digitizer, tried a restore, tried a DFU restore, multiple hard resets, but I am at a loss as to where to go from here. I had dropped the phone and put a minor crack in the screen but the phone worked just fine for a couple months after before this started to happen. The phone is still under apple warranty but apple won't cover it because Apple is stating that it is "caused by the crack in the screen." But being a repair technician I know that is not the case... Good one apple. So I took it upon myself to try to determine the REAL problem. Anyone with a little more knowledge have any ideas? Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button.

My ipod touch is flashing white on and off, I hold the buttons down, and the screen goes black- but the apple logo does not come on. What do I do?

So I have had this problem before, and know that you hold down the top Power button and the Home button, at the same time, for roughly 10 seconds, or until the apple logo comes on.
The problem is, when I press the buttons and the screen goes black, like it's supposed to before the logo pops up, the apple logo isn't appearing.
I was wondering if that's because my I pod touch was drained when I plugged it in to charge, and I tried to turn it on when it was still charging?
What can I do?

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 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.

Screen went black but still works

How do I fix iphone 4 screen went black-still works and already tried shutting it off

I fix a lot of phones and have only experienced this once with a customer.She told me that the screen went black but the phone still rang.I thought she was just doing something wrong or that maybe she dropped it and the LCD ribbon cable hopped off the board.By the time she got the phone to me the battery had completely died as she could not turn it off.After I received the phone I plugged it in and to my amazement it came alive after the usual 5 or so minutes it takes an iPhone to fire up after being dead.So if possible let it fully drain and then plug it in at the mains charger.Hope this helps.

Since upgrade, my ipad screen goes black

Since upgrading my ipad2 to version 7.1 my screen goes screen goes black very often and I have to return to whatever I was doing and start over. Saw various online discussions and they advise restart or change settings and that doesn't help. PLEASE anyone.

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

1st gen ipad screen going black at random times.

Powers back on to the page I was just on. Have powered on and off completely and am using current OS. Any ideas?

The fact that the iPad will return to the app that were just using - after the screen goes black - is very odd to me. The apps aren't crashing or you would be returned to the home screen.
Have you tried a reset/reboot?
Reset/Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.

Horizontal flickering, screen goes black -but apps still operational?

I've gone through 10+ pages of postings in the iBook G4 display forum, and I can't find any problems that are exactly like mine...
Yesterday, the screen suddenly started getting noisy horizontal lines and flickering. But the applications remained operational the whole time. I closed them out one by one, and eventually the screen went black. Even then, iTunes continued to play - but I had to reboot.
Now it's happened several times since then. The time from flicker to black is shortening. Generally rebooting is no problem, but a couple of times it took about 15 min. before it would restart.
It's also not continuous. Right now I've been on the computer for an hour without incident, but I feel like I'm pressing my luck.
Currently I'm traveling in Thailand, heading to India next. There is an authorized service provider here in Chiang Mai, but I'd like to have an idea of what I might be looking at before I go in. I have about five days before I leave the country.
I still have 1.5 years on my warranty, but being overseas and trying to get this repaired is going to suck...
I'm freelancing while here, and this problem threatens my ability to work.
Any ideas? Is this a display issue or something else?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am having this same issue as well. The mac boots
fine, then the screen flickers and sometimes goes
grey. some times it comes up, sometimes it goes to a
grey screen. Most of the time I get the flickering
lines across the screen.
Help would be awesome!!
This morning I took the laptop to the authorized support center here in Chiang Mai, and within just a couple of hours they had an answer - a problem with the logic board. Good news - the replacement is covered by the warranty!
So you should take yours in ASAP -
