Iphone screen is basically black, but sound still works aswell as the light beside the camera

Hi. I have an iphone 4s and the screen is barely readable. it is nearly completely black. The light beside the camera seems to come on every time that I turn on the phone but yet the screen doesn't seem to come on. i have restored the iphone and done everything it says in other forums but yet nothing is working. it is on the set up screen ready to set up as a new iphone but it is so hard to see everything that i cannot set it up. im planning on bringing it back to vodafone tomorrow to see if they can do anything. Any suggestions on what to do?

Sounds like it may be a hardware issue.
Did the issue happen over time or did something cause it (dropped it, water, etc.)

    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.

    The iPhone screen is all black but you can hear the alarm and you can hear when it charges

    The Apple store or any retailer that sales iPhones will be happy to sell you a new device.
    Apple may offer an Out of Warranty replacement at a discounted cost.

  • My iphone screen has turned black, phone is still on as screen shots can be taken. When home button and power button are held - no apple icon will appear. Please help

    My iphone screen has turned black, phone is still on as screen shots can be taken. When home button and power button are held - no apple icon will appear. Please help??

    If this iPhone has had the screen replaced previously, possibly LCD Display connector has simply come loose from the Logic Board. Possibly the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. This is handled by Apple with Replacement iPhone 4S.

  • I dropped my phone in water for a few seconds, but it still works. I went to charge the phone but it fried the charger. It still works though. I just cant charge it. Does anyone know what i should do?

    I dropped my phone in water for a few seconds, but it still works. I went to charge the phone but it friend the charger. It still works though. I just cant charge it. Does anyone know what i should do? it actually burnt the tip og the charger and was smoking  I have no idea how the phone is still working. I do not want to buy a new phone.

    Hi Sean,
    If it fried the charger, then there is something seriously wrong with it. You need to take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at, and be prepared to be told that you will need to get a new phone. If you can't charge it, it will be useless to you in a matter of days anyway. Also, do not even try to hook it up to your computer....you will probably cause serious damage to the computer and be even worse off than you are now.
    Sorry about your troubles. But for your own safety, you need to have the phone looked at! Don't wait - if you wait until it has no more charge left, then no one will be able to recharge it to look at it....
    Cheers,

  • Black screen but sounds still work

    My iphone 4's screen went black but the sounds and vibrations still work if I'm getting a call. I've taken the sim card out and put it back and restored my phone but it still won't turn on.

    If Restore with iTunes on computer did not fix the iPhone, then the next step would be evaluating or replacement of the iPhone front screen assembly. At Apple Store it would be handled with Replacement iPhone 4 exactly same as yours, same color, same GB, for $149.

  • Screen is black but phone still working

    my iphone 4s has a black screen but is still working

    Can the problem be fixed? Yeah. Put phone in trash, purchase replacement.
    Can the phone be fixed? Only until it has been opened and components checked for water damage so the extent of the same is ascertained. However, since such damage is not covered by warranty, Apple will probably offer a replacement since they do not repair them. At cost.
    Good luck at the Store.
    When the problem gets fixed, you may consider that a waterproof case is cheaper than what this incident cost you.

  • Help! Dropped phone, screen is black but phone still works...

    I dropped my iPhone 4S today and the screen went black (thankfully it didn't shatter), but the phone still works perfectly fine. I can still touch it and everything; unfortunately I obviously can't see what I'm doing because it's black. Another problem is that my lock button has been broken/jammed for a while, so I can't try to reset it with holding the home button and lock button, which I've heard could work.
    Is there something I can do myself? Or should I just bring it to an Apple store? Even then, can they fix it or is my phone done for good?

  • Screen is black, but phone still works

    I was opening up an app and then the screen of my phone went dark. I let it be for about 30 minutes then went to go plug it into the charger to see if that would help. I then found out that Siri was still working and it would vibrate as soon as I put it in the charger. Someone please help me because I do not know what to do to fix this problem!!

    Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for up to 1 minute, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

  • Music doesnt play but sounds still work

    When I try and play music nothing plays and if I press next or back it crashes to the home screen. It also doesn't let me shuffle. It played when I used youtube and it still makes the sounds when I use anything else. Any help? Please!!

    Have you tried re-starting the Touch?
    Press-and-hold the sleep/wake button (on the top) until the *Power off* slider appears and turn it off. Wait for the Touch to fully power off; that is, until the small white turning thing disappears and the screen is totally dark. Then Press-and-hold the Sleep/wake button to turn it back on.
    Once the iPod is back on, does it now work correctly?

    Hello,
    I have a Nikon V1. Whenever I shoot video using the 1080/60i setting and upload those video clips into Final Cut Pro X, they have no video, they just appear black.The audio works but there is a weird background noise that shouldnt be there. The main issue is that I can't use the video because it is all black.
    Please Help. Thanks,

  • I dropped my iphone in toilet...screen is black but sound is working

    I dropped my iphone in the toilet a week ago and immediately put it into rice. The screen went black as soon as I dried it off but, it kept vibrating until it ran out of battery. I left in rice until this morning when I put it on charge, it turned on but the screen is still black, I called it and the sound works. Any suggestions?

    You can leave in in the dry rice for more weeks, however, once water gets in it is very difficult to remove and corrosion starts and continues.
    Realistically, there is little chance that your iPhone will recover to a reliable state.
