Iphone 4s screen went black and wont turn on

Iphone 4s screen  went black and wont turn on... what do I do?

Does the Vibrate/Mute switch make the iPhone vibrate? Does iTunes on computer recognize the iPhone? If not, then possibly the battery is faulty or worse. If yes, then the LCD Display is not working, possibly the connector came loose and simply needs to be pressed down to the logic board. Of the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. Or worse. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Replacement iPhone is $199 or battery is $80 with Apple.

    my iphone was charging and then turned off and vant get it back on and tried resetting it with the home button...what can i do??

    iPhone User Guide
    Try this...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • Ipad Screen went black and wont turn on

    My wife was using my Ipad this morning, I have had it for about 2 weeks got it as a Christmas present. She was on Facebook and the screen just went black. Hitting the home key or the power key to turn it back on and nothing happened.
    Any thoughts?

    Heres another tip: Is your ipad freezing up or crashing ? try closing all your open programs by double tapping the home button and hold your finger on one of the open apps and they will start to shake and a red minus sign will appear at the top of each app. click the minus sign on each app to close each app. The first time I did this i had 40 apps goung at the same time.
    Thinking that all of the apps displayed in that tray are open and running is a common misconception. In fact, what you are looking at is the Multitasking (MT) Tray, sometimes also referred to as the Recents Tray, and is an ordered list of those apps which were last opened. Very very few of those apps will be multitasking capable and not all of those will actually still be open and doing something in the background. Obvious examples of those working would be a music app still playing, while common examples of not opened but displayed would be, well ...... with a few exceptions, pretty much everything else.
    That said, it is a corrective action for a hung or crashing app as what you are describing is one of the two ways to Force Quit an application; by going through and deleting all of them you actually will also do this and might fix whatever the issue is. However, the app causing the problem is normally going to be at the very top of the apps displayed in the MT Tray.

  • My iphone 4 suddenly stopped working? screen went black and wont turn back on or reboot...?

    My iphone 4, 8G white suddenly died after leaving in on the counter...  I  tried turning it back on by holding the lock button but, nothing happened.  i tried hold the home button and lock button but, still nothing happens..  Can you please tell me what else i could possibly do to get my phone back on or getting a phone that works?
    Thank you,

    Your phone may be out of battery or may have shut down due to overheating.
    Try plugging it into its charger. If an empty battery with a charging symbol appears, you're good. Just let it charge for a few minutes.
    If you were using your phone excessively and it is extremely hot, wait until it cools down then turn it on again.

  • How can i fix my iphone 4s ? the screen went black and wont turn back on.

    ugh

    Hi sandy,
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time for up to 20 seconds. Hopefully the Silver Apple will display, which will mean the phone is resetting (no data will be lost). As soon as the Silver Apple appears, release the buttons, and wait until the Home screen comes back on.
    You should be OK after that.
    Good luck!
    Cheers,
    GB

  • So I clicked a email that contained a 2 hour lecture on it, and then my screen went black and wont turn on or even connect to my Itunes. What could be wrong?

    It was about 30MB, it was loading and then I turned off the screen. A few minutes later I tried turning it back on and it stayed black. I tried connecting it to my Macbook Pro and it says that its receiving a wrong response. What could be wrong?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT4528 i phone 4 s only 10 days old  screen went black and wont turn on.

    tried holding home and on off at same time. hook up to my computer but doesnt recognize it .power cord is known good from other i phones in the house.anything else i can try ?

    Take it to an Apple Store genius bar it has 12 month warranty not a "phone shop"

  • Screen went black and wont turn back on

    Apparently there may be a correlation with updates post 6.0. Many Youtube posts od similar problem

    In another thread, someone suggested you hold down both the on/off button and the home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then phone will automatically reboot. It worked for me. On caution...you need to hold those buttons down concurrently for a fairly long time--probably about 20-30 seconds. Don't give up on it early.

  • HT4972 My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall

    My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall not the computer but when i plug it into the computer and put it in DFU mode it wont restore there is an error 3194 and error 1602 and nothing i do helps

    Here's what I found about error 1602:
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert,update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194 is also seen when somebody is trying to restore jailbroken devices.

  • My iphone 4 screen went black and will not come back on, the screen lights up but is still black and will not show anything on the screen, it still vibrates though. help

    my iphone 4 screen went black and will not show anything on it, the phone still vibrates and lights up but the screen is black, HELP.

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.
