Iphone 4 stuck at black screen

i use an iphone 4 and i have had to restore my phone like 3 different times because it goes off and refuses to come on. now it first was stuck at the apple logo now it is stuck at the black screen with light illuminating behind it. pls i need help. any suggestions...

If you have an Apple Store or AT&T/Verizon store near you, that is probably the fastest way to get some assistance.  You could have a rare situation where the phone just died.  You can also call Apple Support.
When you plug it into your computer, does iTunes see it?  If so, maybe you can do a restore.
Otherwise, the only thing I can think of (other than visiting a store) is to try plugging it back into the charger for a bit on the off chance it's an issue with your battery.
Sorry you're having problems.  Good luck.

  • Iphone is stuck in black screen white apple logo.Help!

    I had a notication to update my IOS so I let the update run from my phone. Now my phone is stuck on black background with white apple logo. It has been this way for about 45 minutes. I tried connecting to itunes. Trying to restore my phone. Tried turning it off and on. Nothing is working. I have it plugged in right now and I am holding down the power and home buttons, it goes black for a couple seconds and then the logo pops right back up. Any advice?? I can't get the phone out of this screen.

    You may have to place the phone in DFU mode and restore to factory condition using iTunes. Search the web for the procedure.

    Please help

    Try holding the Sleep/Wake button the the Home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. The phone should start up.
    If it doesnt, then try holding the Home button, plugging into iTunes, and release the Home button after iTunes sees the phone in Recovery Mode.
    Restore the device at this point.
    If given the option, restore as new.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck in black screen after restoring to new os

    Hi
    I had my 3gs running at 4.2.1 and I wanted to update my os recently.. since my itunes is kinda old it was able to get 4.3.5 after updating and restoring the
    phone goes back to the DFU mode(just black screen). But Itunes detects it that it is in recovery mode and to restored.. tried a hundred times and failed
    Please help

    Is there a SIM in the device?  A SIM is required for activation.
    The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken.  If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

  • Iphone 4 stuck on black screen, won't turn off

    After starting up a game today my phone just switched to a dark blue/black screen and it refuses to do literally anything...I have tried to put it in dfu/recovery mode but nothing works. I even held down the power and home button down for like a minute and nothing changed...The screen is completely black but you can see that the phone is still on and it doesn't show anything on the screen not even the apple logo

    A lot of times...I've tried it both connected to the pc and not connected but it doesn't matter because nothing seems to work
    Very strange issue. I saw the video on youtube as you posted. Wait until the phone is out of battery. May be when the phone will finally turn off when the battery runs out, and then you can turn it back on or reboot it. I'm out of other suggestions. Or else I suggest that you deliver you phone for repair if you still got a warranty. Knock on the wood, I hope you already have a backup from it.

  • 4s bricked after trying new update, stuck with black screen with apple logo how can i fix this

    Update bricked my 4s
    phone , stuck with black screen with apple logo .. 
    how can I fix this

    Greetings r1042,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone is not booting up past the Apple logo. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

    Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

  • Stuck with black screen with Apple and download bar approx 1 quarter done. Downloading Yosemite. It has completely stopped. I can't access anything. Please help

    Stuck with black screen with Apple and download bar approx 1 quarter done. Downloading Yosemite. It has completely stopped. I can't access anything. Please help

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • My iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the on button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black. How do I get it to turn on?

    My Iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the ON button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black again.
    Is it dead? Is there any way to fix it? It's sitting in a bag of rice right now, a desperate measure.

    Are you saying it got water damage?  If not what mende1 suggested, or the following
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    is the way to proceed.  If it got wet all bets are off.

    Hello, I have an iPhone 4s, I noticed that when I am on a call (Phone) and I am done and I go to hang up, the iPhone is stuck on the screen and can not get new calls or call to a new call

    Is there a case on the iphone?
    If so, then remove it and see if that solves it.
    Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • Iphone 5c has a black screen, beeps, and won't restore

    My iPhone 5c has a black screen. It is charging at the moment, but when it is charging it beeps....constantly... I have tried the home + lock button restoring thing and no apple logo shows up. I don't know what to do HELP!

    I said "may" because Apple may determine the fault was due to abuse such as a drop or water damage. I am in no position to say for certain there is warranty on any device except my own.

  • My lumia 720 suddenly stuck and black screen with ...

    Hi
    My lumia 720 suddenly stuck and black screen with Nokia Symbol is displaying I have tried for soft reset but it doesnt work will someone help me its very urgent
    varun

    You can try to perform the soft reset again. If this would fail, below hardware key reset combination is what I can suggest. This deletes all the personal content of the phone.
    Option 2: Hardware key combination
    Use this option if the phone fails to fully switch on when pressing the power on key.
    Note: No warning about data loss!
    Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8
    Step 1
    Make sure the charger is disconnected.
    1. Switch the power Off.
    2. Press and hold the Volume down and connect the charger, if succeed an exclamation mark (!) is shown on the screen.
    Step 2
    Then input the keys in the following order:
    1. Volume up
    2. Volume down
    3. Power
    4. Volume down
    Step 3
    The phone will reset and boot up automatically. Please note that this may take several minutes.
