IPhone 4s is turned on, but the screen is unresponsive. Reset did not fix problem.

My iPhone 4s is completely charged and was turned off last night, but the screen is unresponsive when I try to turn it on. The screen has a tan background with pale skinny stripes with a black fuzzy frame. I've already tried a reset, but I can't seem to get it to work. Also, before I turned it off, the screen would shake near the bottom when I had certain apps open. Not sure how to fix this, either. I've only had the phone for a week...Help?

  • I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

    I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
    >CURVEBALL!!!<
    The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
    I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
    Any other suggestions? Please help!

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

    Apple won't replace an iPhone under warranty if the iPhone has been opened/tinkered with by you or by a 3rd party, but they may under Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price.
    There is only one way to find out for certain.

    I've tried that. It doesn't work. The only thing that happens is the apple comes up. I've tried holding the home as I'm plugging it in and keeping it held for a few minutes, but nothing happens. My iTunes doesn't even read that it's connected.

  • Equium A300D-16C turns on but the screen shows nothing/stays black

    Hi there, I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C laptop.
    It was fine until now...
    When I press the power button, my laptop turns on but the screen remains black / off.
    HDD indicator doesn't flash or anything ... ( in case this helps )
    I've also tried to remove the battery, hold the power button for 30s and plug the power cord back in... Same thing laptop turns on but screen is black.
    I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
    I haven't changed anything inside my laptop or unscrewed it.
    PS:
    I quite often kept my laptop on the bed/pillow so it may have something to do with overheating or something.
    How did I get to this point:
    Yesterday my laptop was fine, there was nothing wrong with it... I switched it off at night but when I tried to switch it back on this morning that's where I faced this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Rejanu.

    Hello
    > I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
    Its very good that you have this test with an external monitor because so you could make sure its not related to internal monitor and its working properly.
    Well, you have tried a lot so my personal opinion is its a serious hardware malfunction It could be related to mainboard or CPU in my opinion
    I think such hardware diagnostic can only be done from an authorized service provider. I think you should contact the guys. They can help you to get rid of this problem :)

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro will turn on but the screen is completely black. I have no idea what going on. Can anyone help me out??

    My 2008 MacBook Pro is turning on but the screen stays black. It makes the turning on noise but nothing happens after that. Can anyone tell me what wrong with it and maybe help me out??

    Make a PRAM reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Also, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display

  • My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

    My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

    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.

  • I changed my apple id but the apple id for icloud did not change on my mac.  How do I get icloud account information to change and match my new apple id?

    I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences. 
    I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
    I restarted my computer, and still no change.
    I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
    How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
    I am missing something.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences.  The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that.  Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to.  So again thank you.  It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.
