Iphone: Screen gone black, Won't turn off, Restore has failed, 1.1.3

Hi,
I am having a problem with my iphone after upgrading to 1.1.3. The screen has gone black with a white spinning wheel(resembles a flower sort of).The wheel however is not spinning. I can see the top bar with the time, battery, and signal strength. The phone however will not turn off and restore yields an "Unknown Error (-19). Has anyone else had this problem after updating? Anyone have a fix for it or is this a job for the genius bar?
Thanks for your replies.

White iPhone 4 camera flas won't turn off

I have the white iPhone 4 and the flash on the camera won't turn off. It comes on randomly and then just turns off. Tried to soft and hard reset as well as restore. I thought it was an app but still no avail.

Have you tried resetting the phone?
-hold the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously until the display goes black and the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, try updating the phone. If the issue is malfunctioning software this may fix it.

My 4th gen ipod touch has crashed, just displaying a dark blue screen. It won't turn off or do anything. Connecting it to the laptop does nothing either. Is this common and any ideas??

Iphone 4 screen is black, won't turn on.

Hi,
My iphone 4 won't turn on, the screen is black.
My phone got a little wet and I put it in a bag of rice and moisture absorbant sachets for a day. No red indicator has appeared.
I was able to copy my recent photos from iphone to computer and did an update of software, but still no luck.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Step #1 would be plugging it in to make sure it is fully charged. If 2-3 hours on the wall wart isn't enough and given that it took a dunking, may be necessary to take it in for assessment.

IPhone screen blank and won't turn on/off

I went to the camera app from the lock screen and the app seemed to freeze, so I pressed the home button. The screen went blank and now won't turn on. Oddly, when I plugged it into iTunes on the computer, I was able to sync, and I can get Siri by holding the home button. Also the phone will ring if called, but I cannot answer it. Please help.
iPhone 5S. Just installed latest iOS update yesterday. Never had any problems before.

Try restarting or resetting your phone. You won't lose any data.

think I'm gonna have to send it off for repair but I'm reluctant to because from past experience they always say there was water damage even when your phone has never been anywhere near any water.
Don't know in what part of the world you are but you can always escalate issue and demand an independent inspection should this be repairer's response which seems totally unwarranted; that said dew point condensation, sweat and relative humidity all bear a part in starting corrosion within device.

IPod Video - white screen, no video, won't turn off either

Greetings.
I have an iPod video that recently has been giving me quite a bit of trouble. The lcd doesn't display the menu or anything 95% of the time. The backlight turns on so it looks like it's powered, but I can't see the menu or anything else. When I turn it off, dark lines, sometimes horizontal, sometimes vertical go across the screen. The lines also sometimes appear as colored lines when the screen is lit.
Also it doesn't want to turn off via holding the center and menu buttons. It will go dark, then I'll feel some minor mechanical vibrations followed by an audible click (not the wheel). If I let the buttons go after about 10 seconds the screen turns on again to white screen without any video.
If I keep holding down the center and menu buttons, then it will continue to do cycles of the mechanical movements followed by the audible click, then do the movements and click again and again. Once I let go, the white screen reappears.
I've tried accessing the diagnostic mode, but that doesn't work since it just starts up in the white screen mode with no video.
I'm way past my warrenty. I've already opened my iPod several times to ensure all of the wires are firmly attached. I think its the LCD, but since it has trouble turning completely off, I wasn't sure if that means it's actually the logic board.
Any suggestions? Would it be a smart to try replacing the LCD screen? Or is it R.I.P. for my iPod?
Thanks!

Hopefully the battery has leak after long disused.
Recharge the iPod battery for at least 4 hours, normally it would take 30 minutes of recharge before the screen comes to live.
Disconnect the iPod, safely, after charging.
If your battery is good and can recharge fully.
Hard Reset the iPod - Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Select your preferred language.
Connect your iPod back to the Mac, and see if it is recognised by iTunes or Finder
Good Luck! and you will need it when syncing your iPod.

Help! Ipod 4 screen went black, won't turn on/charge!

I pressed the power button to put it to "sleep" for a minute, then when I clicked the home button nothing happened! The screen remained black. I've had my iPod 4 (64 gb) since Dec 2010. I still have around 49 gb of free space on it and the battery was full. When I plugged it into the wall charger, nothing happened, it made no sound. I might have been clicking the home button too frequently and fast, maybe that's what caused it?? If I do a reset by pressing the home and power button, will I lose all content on my iPod? Can my iPod be fixed, so that it will turn on again?
I have family pictures and a couple videos of my grandmother's 92nd birthday on it and would be devasted if I lost them. Please can someone help me? Thanx in advance.

HT201412 my ipod is frozen, and displays a white screen. It won't turn off; I've tried restarting with on/off and sleep/wake buttons.. Nothing happens

Our i{POD touch is frozen, and displays a white screen. I can't turn it off, and it is unresponsive when trying the on/off, sleep/wake buttons.

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:
V
If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iphone 4 screen went black (has only apple logo) and it has some sort of codes on the top of screen. It won't turn off or on. what is going on?

I tried to turn it off and on but it won;t even do that...the screen is displaying several lines of some type of codes...
what is going on?

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
If that does not work, take it to an Apple store genius bar for evaluation.

How can I turn off "Find My IPhone" when the phone won't turn off but the screen doesn't work?

My IPhone has water damage so the screen has stopped working, even though the phone is still on. I need to restore the phone to send it back to the company, however when I try to restore it on the computer, it prompts that I need to turn of "Find My IPhone" in order to restore the phone. How can I do this on the computer with out use of the IPhone??

You can't.
