Iphone screen randomly turned off???

Hi, my iphone 4 randomly turned off a few hours ago, it is not being recognised on itunes and it won't charge at all. To make matters worse, the home button has been broken for several months. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

You're going to need a functioning home button in order to fix this. Take it to an Apple Store.

Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

Sorry, my previous post was meant for another thread.
You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Screen randomly turns off or dims

I have an iBook G4, and every now and again the screen randomly turns off. It doesn't respond to pressing and holding the power button, the only way I can turn it back on is by both taking out the battery and unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds, putting the battery back in and restarting it. If I put the power lead in before restarting then the display switches off almost instantly during boot up.
Other times the screen randomly dims really dark so that you can only just see outlines, in this situation it responds to pressing the power button and then enter to shut it down, and then after booting it back up it's fine ...until the next time.
The problems happen as often as every five minutes on some days and then not at all on others. Both occur when using the battery AND power lead, often (but not always) when the power cord is moved. Also I can get my power cord to flicker between green and orange if I wiggle it - not a good idea I know, I don't do it regularly
I've tried resetting the PMU with no success. Also I've tried swapping my battery and power lead with a friend, they had no problems using mine (and couldn't replicate the green-orange flickering), and I still had problems using theirs.
I read someone else's topic with suggested that the problem could be deficient soldering on the DC-In Board, so I've had a look. I'm no expert but the soldering looks ok to me, except one of the 3 metal legs connecting the actual socket bit to the board (the one which would be at the bottom under the yellow tape in http://www.macrecycling.com/images/products/922-6254.gif ) is looking a bit black and has discoloured the yellow tape black immediately on top of it. Looking at the circuit board though, this leg doesn't seem to connect to anything!
I've read numerous topics regarding similar situations and popular diagnosis include problems with:
* battery/power lead (I'm pretty confident it's not this)
* DC-In Board
* GPU
* Inverter cable
* Inverter
* Backlight
From the information I've given does anyone know what is most likely the cause?
I'm a poor student, my iBook's well past it's warranty, and I hear repairs start in the £100 region (also I've rumours the apple stores have stopped taking in iBooks for repairs now). So home repair is pretty much my only option at the moment, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I had the same trouble, but today my iBook died after draining the battery. It just drained it and it did not charged the batt while connected, also the iBook makes a small buzz sound while connected (and it does not do so while powered by the batt).
I researched and found that it is the DC board's fault, because it failed at charging while working fine on pure battery power.
i confirmed because powering up always worked perfectly while on battery power, (just as in your case).
The blackness you describe is possibly a short circuit, and you should look into it as quick as possible, before you get to a situation like mine.

My iPhone 5 randomly turned off and it now won't turn back on. It had around 80% battery life left. What can I do?

I have an iPhone 5 which I got around two months ago now, it has been working perfectly but it has now suddenly stopped working. It has randomly turned off and it now will not turn back on. When I last checked it had around 80% battery life left, and I try to charge it now to see if it will have some life back in it, but nothing happens. What do you think I can do? Thank you.

press and hold the top power button and home button on the front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple appear, then let go.
phone will start up now.
**Do not do this while plugged in to computer.

For several months my MacBook Pro screen randomly turns off, but keyboard is on. Today the computer just turned itself off. Why?

For several months my MacBook Pro screen randomly shuts off. The keyboard is on. To fix it I use the power button to shut the computer off. Today the entire computer turned off. It took several tries to turn it back on. What is causing this?

Are kernel panics occurring?

HP pavillion beats screen randomly turns off

So this Christmas i was very excited to get this laptop, and it cost me $600. Overall, this is an outstanding laptop, aside that the graphics card could be better and the sound quality from the speakers isn't as good as I expected it to be. Anyway, back to my question. I have been using the laptop all day long, and so far, everything is working normally. However, at times, randomly; without any notice, the screen goes black and it basically freezes. This happend once while I was typing, and once when I was watching a video. I have been active both times that it turns off, and the battery is never near death when it does this. While the screen is frozen, I cannot do anything with it; only turn it off. And to give you closure, I did try turning the backlit keyboard on and off; no changes whatsoever, and I also tried pressing the Caps Lock button to find a resonse; and, as presumed, no lights turning on, nothing. Like I said, when these pauses happen, I am highly active and the battery is charged. If it helps, I haven't experienced them WHILE the laptop was charging. It's a shame that such a great laptop has a simple flaw that could probably be easily fixed.
Thanks for listening,
Jalen

2010 Mac Pro OSX 10.6.8 Screens Randomly Turn Off, Wont Come Back On

My work computer has been having this issue for some time now. A few times a day my screens will just go black, the power lights on them will stay on, but nothing will show up on the screens, causing me to force restart my machine and lose progress on whatever I was working on. The tower is still running when it happens, and if I am listening to music it will still play for a little while, but the screens will never come back on.
When I force shut down my machine, it will take a few minutes before I can restart it. The tower will turn on, the chime will sometimes sound, other times wont, and the screens still remain black.. After a while it will boot up like normal again.
I've tried resetting the PRAM and some other things, but I really dont know what is happening or how to fix it. I run duel screens, and they both just shut off, could they be the problem? why would both turn off if they are?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Drew

Could be that your graphics card is overheating. It might be clogged with dust and needs cleaning.

IPhone screen lock turns off app audio

Why does my This American Life app stop playing when I lock my iPhone screen? And how can I make it keep playing? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change? It's annoying to have to keep touching the screen so it will keep playing!

Wait, I just realized this only happens when I'm streaming audio -- I'm trying it now at home, with a WiFi connection, and it keeps playing after the screen locks.

Lenovo G505s screen randomly turns off

I like the laptop but the darn thing turns its display off during use. I have turned all sleep mode settings to off and the display still shuts itself off. I can't seem to turn it back on without powering the whole unit down. I bought this laptop for my wife.... you have given me a nightmare!

Hi Patric,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that the Display turns OFF automatically in your G505s Laptop. Please let me know if the issue persists even after re-installing the Display Drivers for the computer.
Hope to hear back soon
Best Regards
