IPhone 4 screen black and white?

So, title might be a little misleading - I don't know, but my iPhone 4 has broken.
Basically, I can still hear it turn on etc, still hear when I get a message or a phone call and so on, and it vibrates when I put it on charge etc. What I'm trying to get across is the phone is 100% functional... except one thing.
The screen is black. That's right, black. It lights up a tad when you press the sleep button as you usually would to get into the phone, which makes me think the LED's are still working and connected. 
Oh, also, this just happened when I picked up my phone one time. Just black out of nowhere.
What I've tried:
Recovering phone (Phone wont recover for unexpected error).
Holding down home and power button for 10 seconds (only worked once out of about 100 times, where the Apple logo showed up, then the screen faded to white then went from white to black and the phone was off again).
Opening the back of phone to see if a connector has come loose (It hasn't).
So, basically, if anyone could help I'd be extremely grateful.
Thank you.

Hi,
What do you mean?
I have no warranty as it ran out ages ago, so I can't send it in either.
Thank you.

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • Iphone start up screen black and white stripes

    My iPhone 4S powers up with a black and white striped screen then goes black. If I do a reset, it will eventually come back, work properly, and then go black again. When plugged into power, with screen set never to sleep, it works.

    That's a sign of a hardware fault.
    make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.

    The screen has turned completely black and white even when I try the dvd option but when I click the settings up they come up in colour what could be wrong?

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

  • Playbook screen Black and white with no color or just black with faded white lines

      My playbook has been acting up lately and need to know where to send it for repair.  The issue is the screen goes blank or black and white (losing color) and after pushing the power button several times the color comes back.  After fight that issue several times its gotten to the point the screen is black with very faded white lines on the screen and nothing is working to get it working again.  I have tried several times to shut it off and start, but still the same issue.
       Thanks,

    will do, thanks

  • Compare iPhone 5 Black and White

    I have just bought an iPhone 5 black. So now I have white and black one(both 5).
    I was looking at the black one, when I noticed something differant from the white 'other than the color'.
    First, there are three "wholes" on the white iPhone -as in the picture- where A is the Camera, B is the Receiver+front mic, and C is to the left of B.
    All of these "wholes" are the same as my white iPhone, but on the black iPhone whole C is on the bottom slightly to the left of the Home Button. So is that normal? shouldn't C be to the left of B as in the white iPhone?

    The black and white iPhone 5 are identical. The sensor hole "C" is very difficult to see on the black screen, but it is there identical to the white one. There is no sensor hole on the bottom. Look at the black screen in very strong light.

  • IPhone 5c was powered off; when turned back on screen only shows in black and white.  Have tried several times with no success. Any suggestions?

    I purchased the iPhone 5c about 4 months ago.  I turned it off briefly last night and when I turned it back on, the screen wallpaper and app icons are now in black and white.  I have tried turning it off and on again several times with no success; screen still shows only black and white.  All other functions of phone/text work correctly. Any suggestions on what to try?

    Hello Teri,
    You may have greyscale turned on. Try going to Settings > General > Accessibility and toggle that off and it should go back to color. Check out the page below for more information.

    Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

  • There was a popup on my iPhone 5 and all screens are now black and white. How do I reset it to color?

    A Popup appeared on my iPhone 5 screen and I thought I clicked for better visibility in color, however all screen are black and white. How do I get color back on screens? I have gone to settings, general, accessibility and tried numerous options there to no avail.

    I would suggest checking Grayscale, and also Contrast in Settings > General > Accessibility. If changing those options doesn't make a difference, you could always go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

  • Horizontal black and white lines on screen

    I accidentally dropped my iPhone on my macbook track pad. It was about a 6" drop, nothing huge. But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv.  The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself.
    Should I be checking the hard drive or anything?

    " But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv.  The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself."
    How's it been running since then? Possibly you hit it hard enough to put a voltage transient through the machine.
    Hopefully the logic board wasn't damaged but do what Oglethorpe says and have Apple run an ASD on it.

  • Black and White Screen

    My Iphone 4 has been shutting down to a black dos like screen with White letters.

    This has been going on since I've tried to upgrade OS6.  It would go to this black screen but eventually come back on with a drained battery.
    ITunes error showed to restore phone back to factory settings so I did but it only worked for 4 days.  Now it's been down for at least 15 hours.
    Any one see this issue before?

    Thank you.  There is not an apple store near by.  I need my phone for work.  My warranty has expired and 13 month into contract is too early for the 18 month early upgrade.  I reset the device and plugged it in to Itunes and restored it again.  The part that confuses me and perhaps why i didn't work last time is...Restore to new phone or Restore to my iphone back up so I always choose my phone but perhaps this doesn't bring it back to factory settings.  I just don't want to loose my contacts.  It is working now but it's probably just a matter of time before it the black and white screen come back up.  I think it;s a system update issue.  I'm going to call Apple.
