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?

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.

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.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

My macbook that wont turn back on after I open the lid

Well my macbook is very fast and works great, *+when it turns back on+.* I leave it on most of the time and close it, plugged into a power cord, when i am done using it. I am not putting it to sleep or turning it off, just closing the lid. When I open the lid, it sometimes turns back on, and most of the time doesn't. The little light on the outside turns off when I open it, and when I close it, it turns on. I will push the power button, that doesn't do anything.
I will take the battery out and unplug it from the wall, put the battery back in and all, and it still wont turn back on. After I play with it for a few minutes, it will either turn back on, go to a grey screen with a grey progress bar, or pretend like I turned it on by going to the grey screen with the apple logo and the little spinning circle at the bottom. I have done disk utilities, any kind of utility i could think up, but it still does this. I was running tiger when it started happening.
I tried repartitioning the hard drive, backing everything up and reinstalling osx. still a problem. i recently upgraded to leopard. still a problem. I have no idea whats going on because it is not consistant. it will randomly do this. I have even sent it to apple and it wasnt fixed.

It sounds like it's hardware-related. Note the exact time the events occur, and then check your system logs in your Console application for clues to the cause.
Try resetting your SMC.

If that does not work, you may need to get it looked at.

My Ipod Touch wont turn back on after I lock it

Just got an Ipod touch 2ng Gen off my brother.
Everytime I touch the button at the top to turn it off or sleep it, I can't tuyrn it back on again. I have to end up Holding the Home buttom and power button ALWAYS for it to turn back on.
However when playing music, I can push the power button, putting it into sleep and it works fine. Other than that, if I touch the top button and sleep it, it wont turn back on.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem.

Why will my screen not turn back on after powering down iPhone?

When my AT&GT 64gb iPhone 4s turns off, or dies, for some reason when I try to turn it back on, the phone itself turns on but the screen doesnt. Sometimes the screen will be a bright white, sometimes it will appear as if the LCD is cracked, and sometimes its just straight black. Eventually (like up to 12-15 hours later), I somehow manage to get it turned back on like regular, and it works fine (however occasionally, there is a white circle that surrounds the middle of the screen. Anyone have any clue whats going on with it? I'd just get the LCD replaced, but it only doesn't work when the phone turns off and back on, so i don't know if that would help at all.

So u Have restarted it on the ipod?
and you have turned it off and on?
have you tried on your laptop or mac?

Z10 Battery died and now it wont turn back on after charging for 3 -5 hours

My phone completely died and i didnt charge it for about a day. I went to charge it the following day and it wont hold a charge. I plug the charger in and the red light on the top right of the phone turns on and then blackberry appears on the screen shortly after and then it just turns off.
I plugged it into my computer and it wont even recognize my device.
I also had it plugged in for a few hours and then pulled the battery out and for a few seconds and reinserted it and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

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

Notebook shut off wont turn back on after battery tapped

I purchased 3 notebooks all are doing the same thing. If you set the down on any surface they shut off. One of them will not turn back on. I have switched batteries and charging cords. I don't see it as a recall but it's strange that all 3 are doing the exact same thing. Power cord when plugged in has a white light but no screen will turn on. Tried 2 different batteries and 2 power cords. I have tried just plugging in no battery only power cord and holding down power button, no change.I bought these last November 2014, I never had this problem will my Dell comouters. Anyone have any suggestions?? Very frustrated! These computers are barely used and don't leave the house, they are not abused.

Z1 wont turn back on after trying to update the software !

last night i tried to update to the current software.
1 it backed up the phone as always
2 it was in the process of prparint the phone for update. i left the phone connected to the pc while it did this. when i came back in the pc was a blue screen saying it had to shut down.
3 the pc restarted but now my pc wont recognise the phone at all, ive tried using different usb ports and ive also uninstalled then reinstalled sony pc companion but the pc still wont recognise the phone.
4 when i try to turn the phone on i get a message saying software update failed and reconnect to the pc !
what is wrong ???

I had a similar problem, does the phone show anything on the screen, for example "update failed, connect to computer" if it does, try opening "Sony PC Companion 2.1" click start on "support zone" then click "phone/ tablet software update" a message will pop up, press repair my phone / tablet, select your phone in the list, then follow what it says, try doing this even if the phone shows nothing, you will lose everything, all data will be gone if you follow my steps

My iPhone 4S won't turn back on after I do the reset

Somehow my iPhone won't charged and I decide to turn off but now I can't turn it back on again... I try everything but still not working...

Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. If still problem, and your decide to Restore your iPhone, try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.
