IPhone 3G goes black screen

this morning I was checking my email and my phone froze up, so I held the home button and top button together to restart it. it actually powered down instead of giving me the red reboot option. I then clicked the home button to start it up again, and the apple logo appeared for 10 seconds or so and the screen went black. I've tried 5 times doing the home button with top button, same thing happens...logo appears for 10 seconds and it goes black. Tried plugging it into my charger at work and same thing happens. is my phone toast?

to reset the phone press and hold the sleep button and home button at the same time until you see a silver apple. DO NOT slide to turn off at the screen prompt, just keep holding those buttons until you see the apple.

  • My screen on iphone 5 goes black and and will will not respond to anything , how to fix that ?

    my screen on iphone 5 goes black and will not to respond to anything , can someone tell me how to fix this problem . thanks in advance !?

    I just replied in your other post
    To solve most of iPhone os problems you can perform a soft reset which will not change anything inside the phone
    It'll simply remove the errors
    To do that
    1.Hold power button for 5 seconds
    2.without releasing power button press home button and keep both pressed till the apple logo comes up
    3.Now release both buttons
    Your phone has now been reset

  • How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

    How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

    Reset the phone:  Press both the home and on/off buttons for AT LEAST 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  (No data loss)
    If no response, connect to AC adaptor, charge for at least 30 minutes and repeat the reset if needed
    If still no response, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

    Hello there, Kevin Barreto.
    To make sure if it is a hardware issue or not, the following Knowledge Base article should help guide you further:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically the section on:
    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.

    If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
    If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.

    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • IPhone 6 went black screen after purchasing and activating 3 days from Apple Store Online. Please advise

    I bought iPhone 6 from online apple store for my GF as bday gift..
    3 days after receiving and activating it, iPhone 6 went black screen..
    After all, it is a birthday gift..
    Is this issue quite common in iPhone 6 edition?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    If this does not work, make sure that the phone is charged, then Connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If still no luck, contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • I have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown

    i have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown nothing do no restart and when i have restore my iphone it say error 4014????????????

    is this the original iPhone 5, or 5s? If it's the 5s do you have Apple Care still? If so calling Apple iPhone support is where to start, hopefully they can help, if not, setting up an appointment at the Genius Bar at an apple retail store is a good option too, Call the store first though and ask what your options are in terms of warranty and service. If you are having problems with the regular iPhone 5, still call Apple Care or an Apple store and see what they can do.
    good luck!

    Hey there Maggie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
    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.

  • My iPhone has a black screen!

    Hello apple community. My dad just sent me a used iPhone 4s for my birthday about 1 week ago. Today I was using my iPhone and I went to eat and left my phone on my bed. Then when I came back , I tried turn it on and it didnt turn on. It has a black screen but it functions properly. It might be a display screen error or something. I tried the famous method of pressing the home button and the power button at the same time for like 10 seconds but it still wont work. I also plugged it in on my computer and it shows everything on there but my iPhone screen is still black. I hadthe same problem earlier when I got the phone but it turned on after a little while of charging it. What is going on? I live in a small town in Mexico and there are no Apple stores nearby! What should I do? Please I really need your help on this issue. Thank you very much for your attention and hopefully you guys can help me.

  • URGENT iPhone 5 white black screen???

    URGENT ANSWERS? iPhone 5was knocked out of my hand onto the floor, had a silicone casing however the screen flickers when I touch it and all that comes up is a black or white screen. Only got the phone in January tried rebooting it and it's fine for a few minutes then goes back to white screen, how do I fix this?

    While the phone is on and in the "black screen", press and hold the home button and the power button at the same time until you see the Apple logo appear. Then release them. This resolved my issue I was having with this problem. Good luck.
