Iphone 4s Screen wont turn on? after I downloaded an app

Hi there, I just downloaded an app onto my Iphone 4s then suddenly my iphone's graphics were wierd ? its colours just changed the instant I downloaded the app. So at first I went to general settings too see if the colour settings were making it that way but it wasnt. So i proceeded to just turn off my phone and restart it. Then It wouldnt turn back on! i can hear that its on after i connected it to my laptop  but the screen is black? I also tried updating my phone and restoring it but its still like this !
can someone please help me?

Hey gloriale96!
I have an article for you with some troubleshooting steps that will help you resolve this issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • IPhone 5 screen wont turn on. (Need help or info, please and thank you.)

    So i got an Iphone 5, and i accedently droped it in the sink. i took it out, whipped it off,  i put it in my pocket and left it alone.
    the next day the screen was not working, moments later, it(Iphon5) turned off.  tried turnng it back on but it wouldnt work.
    so, again i left it. everything still works, its just that the screen wont turn on, i could still play music snapshot stuff,
    but my screen wont tun on.
    I NEED HELP.

    I don't beleive this is a known problem and you should probably bring your phone to a local Genius Bar (make an appointment here) as this is likely a hardware issue (a problem with your phone realizing that you removed it from your ear).
    If you're willing to tinker with it a bit, you can determine if this is a software issue by backing up your iPhone (separately ensure your photos, videos and music is backed up) and then "Restore" your phone. If the restoration solves the problem, you're dealing with a software issue. If the problem still exists, you're almost definitely dealing with a hardware issue.

    Hello amonar,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    Have a nice day,

  • IPhone 5 screen wont turn back on after making a call.

    When I put my phone to my ear, the screen turns black, like it should, but once I'm done, it wont turn back on... It does the same thing with siri. I active the raise to speak option and the screen turns black when I do it. I then have to press the sleep button two times to get to my lock screen. Is this an hardware or a software problem? If it is software, can an upcoming update fix it?

  • My Iphone 5 screen wont turn onj

    When i was trying to open an app the screen went black and then the folder screen (where all the apps are) came on and i pushed the ome button and then the screen just turned off. My Iphone 5 is on, working, i can hear all the notifications when they hapen, but my screen won't turn on. My lock button is broken so i cant reset the phone, or turn it off.

    Hold the sleep/wake and home button at the same time for about 10 or 15 seconds. (Its a hard reset) the apple icon should come on

  • My iphone screen wont turn on after being replaced 3 times and all ribbons are connected properly

    hello ,
    i bought a iphone 3gs off my friend only to find multiple problems with the phone !!
    i had to change the audio jack replace all buttons , replace the digitilizer and home button .
    i did this all with no problems , the only problem i could not fix was the screen keep going blank while using the phone .
    i replaced the screen and the problem still persisted , so im pretty sure there is a lose connection some where ,
    i had a further look into the problem today only to find that when my friend previously changed the screen he has damaged the logic board where the lcd is connected which is undoubtably the reason for a lose connection .
    how do i go about replacing the broken part ? or have i been bumped off and now have to replace the whole logic board ?
    many thanks

    Try unplugging from the computer then pressing and holding the home button, while pressing home button plug it back into the computer and hold until an itunes symbol shows up. If after 60 seconds it doesn't show up try taking into an Apple store for replacement. If it does show up look in itunes and restore iphone.

    Hello ole-gunnar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    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.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • My Iphone 5 charger got burned during charging and phone wont turn on after it

    Hi everyone. Last night My Iphone 5 charger got burned during charging and my iphone wont turn on after it...My Iphone was wery hot after it.  My  warranty expired on September and I can't go to Apple Store to resolve this problem. Pls advise... Thanks in advance.

    No. Sorry. But when such a large voltage mismatch occurs, it will destroy your entire IPhones internal charging and regulating system! Not just your battery. Every mobile "smart" device running at 5 volts internally has its own built in charging circuitry. The charging circuitry is inside your phone. It is NOT in your wall charger. Think of your wall charger simply as a "power source". The iPhone has the charging circuits built inside of it. The wall charger is just a "dumb" power source. The iPhone dictates how much power to draw and when to draw it, from the wall charger.
    Like you may have a 30 amp electric line. If you plug in a small light bulb it doesn't use the whole 30 amps right?
    So somehow one of your voltage adapters "failed" thereby burning out the phones entire circuitry. It is dead. Its not just an issue of the battery. Right?

  • Help! My iPhone 5 wont turn on after battery died. iPhone is not reponding to charger or anything I have tried...

    Help! My iPhone 5 wont turn on after battery died. iPhone is not reponding to charger or anything I have tried... Hard reset is not in option beacuse iPhone is turned off.

    Your only chance is letting it charge for about 10min, then connecting it in recovery mode, explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If it does not charge at all, you'll have to get it serviced by Apple.

  • The screen wont turn on

    i have a verizon iphone 4 it doesnt turn on (LCD) but when i connect it to the wall or to itunes it works like it has no problem.... the screen wont turn on... can anyone help me plz..

    Hi,
         If it comes to life when plugged into the charger or via your computer and NOT on it's own, there is a good chance that the internal battery has died.
    Time for a trip to Apple or if your up to it  buy the parts online and do the repair yourself (no its not very hard)
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!
