Iphone 4s has vertical lines all across the screen and will not power down unless it is charging. What is the problem here?

My iphone 4s recently stopped turning on. I left it alone on the charger for a few days and now will power on just fine. However I have vertical lines going across the entire screen. I also noticed that it will not power down and stay off unless it is connected to the charger. Is this a hardware problem?

  Try to Reset your device. 
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

  • My IPhone is frozen on the lock screen, and will not restart or respond to ITunes. What do I do?

    I really need help. It's not functioning at all. It's frozen on the home screen, will not respond to Itunes, or its charger, it wont turn off, no matter how many times you hold down the Lock button. What do I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • My new iPhone 6 plus just went to a black screen and will not turn back on. If you hit the home button for siri to come on it still works, and if you plug it into the wall it makes the vibrate noise. The screen just won't turn on.

    I was looking up a song on the internet, and my internet was being slow, so i was going to the settings to turn internet/wifi off so i could use data. When i did that the screen just went completely black. I didnt know what happened so i plugged it into a circuit into the wall to see if it needed charging. It made the buzz noise when i plugged it into the charger, and siri still works if you hold the home button down. I don't know what to do to get it to turn back on... If anyone knows what to do please help. thanks !

    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.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.

  • My iphone 4 has just switched on vibrate continuously automatically and will not respond to rest or switching off ! Help!

    2weeks ago updated my iphone with the latest update and have had nothing but trouble ever since.
    I have since trid to restore and update several more times but still with no success.
    I have had countless issues with the phone from continuous freezing when trying to open apps, utilise camera, make phone calls, set calendar dates and more!
    The latest, this morning, my vibrate alert auromatically switched on and now will not stop!
    Its been going for almost an hour and I dont know what to do!
    Have hooked up to itunes but itunes is not recognising the phone!
    Have continuously tried holding down the start butto and front button to no avail
    Help!

    I have the same problem, but it happens sometimes. Since I installed iOS 8, I have countless issues, one of them being the automatic on/off of the vibration. It just goes crazy and then restarts. Is this a hardware or software bug?
    Thanks,

  • White Macbook has delayed start with a blue screen and will not wake when it goes to sleep

    I have a late 2006 MacBook that I recently bought used.  When I got it I was experiencing very long boot times.  It would have the apple logo then go into a blue screen for about 5 minutes before loading to the OS.  Nothing I did fixed the issue.  I was told it was not a hdd or ram issue, but maybe a logic board issue.  I then purchased a new hdd since that was the concensus online.  After installing it I got the it to load right away when it booted from the install disc.  However, after the OS was installed, it gave me the same problem.  Also, when trying to update to Lion it would freeze on the apple logo with the spinning dots.  I did not try to install Lion on the new hdd as I wanted to use the machine and it was working with minor inconviences.  I then read about resetting the system by taking off battery, holding power for ten seconds, then replacing battery and restarting.  This actually fixed the problem.  I was able to install Lion and everything was working perfectly.  I then replaced the topcase becuase the one on the computer was scratched and dirty.  After I did that I was unable to load anything.  It would not go into lion or anything else.  I fiddled with the command lines and nothing.  I had someone else who spoke unix fiddle with it and I was finally able to get it to boot from the install disc.  After doing a clean install, from erasing and creating a new partition, I am back to square one with a long boot time and not waking from sleep.  This time the battery trick is not working.  I have done the PRAM reset and disc repair and permission repair.  All to no avail.  I know that it has the capacity to work because it did.  Please help me, I really want this to work.  Thanks.

    It seems thst the MBP is not recognizing the internal HDD.  Look at this link and probably the section 'Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility' will be applicable:

    it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
    or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
    hope this helps

  • HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

    i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

    Hey Christian,
    I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
    All the best,
    David

  • L655 has solid white power LED and soid orange battery LED and will not power on at all.

    L655 has solid white power LED and soid orange battery LED and will not power on at all.  I tried a second power adaper.  Any other suggestions?  It does not even try to power on.  No fan or any other noises.

    if it is not powering up on battery or AC, then there is either something wrong on the motherboard keeping it from powering up, or a bad power switch.  I personally have not encountered a bad power switch on any of my Toshibas, so I would suspect something with the motherboard.  It is strange that it does indicate that your plugged in and charging.  If you leave the power adapter plugged in, does the battery status eventually go white?

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing keep on Charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

  • My iPad will not power down.  It automatically restarts and drains the battery because it is on all the time.

    My IPad will not power down and stay off.  It powers down and then restarts after a few seconds.  Since it is on all of the time, it drains the battery between uses.

    Then I think it is time to take to an Apple store to be checked. Make an appointment at your closest store. You can keep it plugged in to maintain the battery until you get it checked.

  • My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

    My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.
