IPhone 5c's screen has gone black and will not come on. When I plug it in it buzzes every 2 seconds.

My iPhone 5c screen has gone completely black, i can't turn it on at all. I can't even reset the phone. However when i plug it into my laptop every couple of seconds it buzzes.
Is there any way i can fix this? Or will i have to go into the Apple store and request for a new phone. I also haven't had the phone for a year yet

My iphone 4 screen just went black and will not come back on, I can connect it and charge it and it makes noise but no screen?

What does it mean when your screen just goes black and will not turn back on? I can connect it to computer to charge and it recognizes it and charges it but no picture on screen.

Hey Krkirst10,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with your device, however let's try to isolate as much as possible to determine if that is so. To isolate the issue, follow the regular troubleshooting steps for power issues:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. 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.
2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

my iphone4's screen has gone black and i have received a new warrenty

If this is a Verizon iPhone 4, there is no SIM slot.
For non-Verizon iPhone 4, the SIM is on the right side.
Push a paperclip inbto the hole to eject the SIM tray.

Try a reset. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button + Home button for around 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let me know if this helps.

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

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.

My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again?

Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.

Reinstalled my router and now Airport has gone inactive and will not reconnect

Reinstalled my Linksys router and now Airport has gone inactive and will not reconnect. What am doing wrong?

How did you reinstall the router? Do you mean updated the firmware on the router? Did you change the router settings and if so, what changes did you make? Did you make associated changes in the AirPort card in your iMac?

My iMessage screen is locked horizontally and will not rotate. When I access the camera through iMessage it will not rotate either. Any help with this will be very much appreciated.

What does the message "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired" when repairing disk permissions?

What does the message "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired" when repairing disk permissions?

It's just a status message, albeit a misleading one, and can be ignored.

Let it charge for an hour or two.
If it doesn't Coe back on, try a Reset.
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 4s without warning has powered off and will not power back up? any suggestions?

My iPhone 4s has just powered down without any previous indication of problems and will not power back up? Any suggestions?

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 2 Screen Has Gone Black and All The Suggested Solutions Arent Working!

Last night, I went round to my friends. he doesn't live far from me so I walked. Before I set off I put my Ipad 2 in my bag. When I got to my friends, I took it out and the screen only showed black. I didn't know what to do so I attempted a few common things, tapping it, charging it and resetting it using the home and lock button. But nothing worked. I looked for a solution on this sight and I haven't had any luck. There was a suggestion where I was to restore the Ipad, I tried it. Before then, my Ipad ran on IOS 7.1.2 I think. But it required me to update to the current software. I updated the Ipad but as it was about to finish restoring, there was a problem and everything stopped. At this point its really begging to test my patience as I spend around 6-8 hours a day using it for work and emails and without it theres little much I can do. Is there anyone who has had similar issues? I just don't understand how it ended up like this within the space of 20 minutes. Also theres the issue of restoring all the back up data, I cannot recover anything if the screen refuses to respond!

I Have a similar problem. My iPad screen will not respond to touch. If I tough the start button a message appears that says slide to unlock, but will not respond to my touch. If I touch the on/off key a message says slide to power off, but the screen will not respond to my touch. What must I do?

IPhone 5c's screen has gone black and will not come on. When I plug it in it buzzes every 2 seconds.
