I've tried holding down the home and sleep button down for ten seconds, no luck. Even restored my iphone but yet the screen just does not turn on!! Help?!?

IPhone 4 screen flickering then turning off and when i try to turn it back on it either works or I get a white or purple screen. When i turn it off it doesn't turn back one

Ok so this started around a week ago. I got home one afternoon put my phone down went back to it and pressed the home button and it seemed that it turned itself off so I tried turning back on, didn't work so I hooked it up to my laptop tried turning it on again it came on but I got a WHITE screen. So after that I decided to leave it for a bit I went to it after it started working fine...until 4 days later. I was on instagram and all of a sudden the screen starts flickering like crazy and then it turned itself off, I did what i did last time and just left it for a bit it came back on working fine. And then about 2 days ago I was listening to music and the screen froze then started flickering (getting quite annoyed at this stage) and then turned off, this time I tried turning it back on straight away only this time it worked. And that brings us to this morning, i was on facebook and about 5 minutes later it starts flickering and freezing once again and then turned itself off. So i hooked it up to my laptop I then got it to turn on for like 6 seconds then the screen started to dim and turned off. That brings us up to now about 10 minutes ago i tried turning it on, it turned on but I got a PURPLE screen and it just stayed like that until i turned it off. Does anybody have any idea what is going on? I think its the screen itself but i'm probably wrong. All help is appreciated.

I am also having the same problem.. Its too much annoying and its unfortunate nobody at apple support has anyclue of what is happening?
... This is happening almost most of the time keeping my phone down most of the times.

My MacBook Pro WILL NOT START. Powers on, grey apple screen loads then shuts off

Fairly new MacBook Pro with OXLion. When I try to turn on the computer, the startup noise and screen appear (grey loading screenwith apple icon). A loading bar at the bottom of the screen fills about a third up, then the computer shuts down again.
ANY HELP?????????

Power off the Mac, press option, command,power button. Just press them at the same time for a second. Then try power up. If still no joy, try a safe boot. With the Mac powered off, press power button and hold shift key down, this boot will take longer so be patient, continue to hold the shift key till you see the progress bar come up and the spinning gear, you can then release the shift key and let it finish booting. Your login window should come up try logging in. Check some of the applications and see if they seem to function correctly, in safe boot mode only essential OS applications are launched, if all is normal try powering off and rebooting in the normal mode. If all is well in safe mode itmight mean some third party software could be causing the problems.

T60 - Screen flickers then turns off

I'm having a repeated issue with a T60 - the screen will flicker for an hour or two occasionally, with what looks like windows showing VERY briefly, midway down the screen and to the right. Then the screen goes black. The harddrive continues, the lights are still on, and if I have music or a game running, the sound continues. Only the screen goes out. I have to turn it off using the power button, and it restarts just fine. This happens maybe twice a day with HEAVY usage (10-12 hours a day).
Any help would be greaty appreciated!

Welcome to the forum, smithd8!
Reddish/pinkish hue is a dead giveaway for a failing backlight. If your laptop is still under warranty, send it in for a LCD replacement.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Projector blinks then shuts off after 10min of use

Hello, I have one and love it. I was doing some account setup and getting familiar and exploring. Had about 5hrs of use total and now after about 10 min of use the projector starts blinking/glitching and then shuts off. The mat is dark but things are still working like I can type with the virtual keyboard but cannot see it. Then only thing that I have found that works is to shut it off and wait then restart and it will work for a while again. Am I having a projector problem or is this normal if I am not using any of the things listed on the mat?

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community! Have you run the HP Support Assistant and let it look for updates from HP? If not, try letting it search for the latest software and install any updates found. There have been several major updates for the Sprout since its inception. That does not sound like normal behavior to me. I'm not in front of a Sprout at the moment, but if this happens after a period of non-use, it could be a "timeout". There are Sprout settings in the Control Panel that concern the projector. Might take a peek in there. WyreNut

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

^Hi. yesterday, after trying to study on my iphone 4, i accidentally clicked okay on something that poped up while flipping through notecards. it told me that it was "updating", i had my phone updated to ios7 but not 7.0.2.. i tried to shut if off to see if it would stop the update, because i didnt want it to do that. after a few minutes i turned it back on and it was still updating. it then shut off and a screen poped up telling me to plug my phone into iturnes. itunes recognized my phone and said it was in recovery mode and i would have to restore it. i have tried to restore it three times and nothing has happened. it will go all the way through the restore process, say it is finished, and then nothing will happen. my phone will not stay in DFU mode, i have tried for 20 minutes to get it to. i have even uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. i dont know what to do and i have been without a phone for alomost 24 hours. how do i get my phone back to normal? can i fix it or could at&t replace it? or do i have to take it to an apple store? Please help me.

Has your phone been jailbroken in the past? If yes, this could be a reason for not being able to finish the restore process.
If not, did you try to restore it on a different computer?

How old is the Time Capsule? What model number?
Anything over 3-4 years and the power supply is pretty much gone on most models.
Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you...to let them take a look and discuss your options with you.
Otherwise, contact Apple Support.

Iphone 4s freezing at start up then shuts off and keeps restarting then repeating that process over and over. I have tried to reset the phone two different ways and still this problem occurs after I update it or turn off the phone.

yes the title says most of what is going on.
I recently reset my phone, losing all contacts and pictures. It was working fine, then after I updated it, it will not turn on completely.
It starts up with the apple logo
-goes to the ios 6 (please slide to open) screen
-then shuts off
-and repeats the process unless I shut the phone off manually
I have tried to hold the lock and the home button down to manually reset the phone
I have also tried reseting the phone completely previously, and I still have this problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you!!

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

HT4623 just updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, now my phone won't turn back on. The apple logo comes on and sits then shuts off. I have held down the home button and on/off switch several times to reset, but same problem persists.

Place iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes. Then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, open iTunes 10.7 on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, then click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try DFU Mode Restore, here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons, 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. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode. If still problem and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

Torch Wont Start, loads partway then shuts off or resets.

My Torch 9800 was recently went for a swim in rainwater. At first I didn't realize the phone was water damaged, and thought it has just randomly turned off, so I took the battery out, put it back it, and then it started making a static sound. So I immediately removed the battery and put the phone in rice. Unfortunitely got my time lines mixed up and tried to put the battery back in too soon and again the phone started making a static sound. So I took the battery back out, and put it back in rice worried that I'd fryed all the circuits. However, 48 hours later I put the battery back in and the loading screen came up, but when it went to the rogers screen pre-my wallpaper the phone reset and started to load again, then it shut off. Everytime I do a battery pull the led light comes on for a couple seconds, and then it shuts off and nothing happens. So I took the sim card out, and tried the batter again and the phone started to load then shut off.
I've found that If I leave the battery out for a while the phone will start to load, but either gets stuck at the 2/3 mark and will freeze there, or it'll shut off. Today I tried putting the battery back in, and the phone loaded to my home-screen, but then froze and shut off.
If I plug my phone into my computer through the USB the phone connects for a second, and then disconnects. I've tried with both the battery in and out.
I've also tried re-installing the OS through the loader app as mentioned (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry), and through a force connect with desktop manager (by hitting update button when desktop manager tries to connect with my phone when I first plug it in to my computer, before it resets and disconnects). Both times the phone starts to load the OS, but when it comes to re-initialize the phone, it'll disconnect, then reconnect, but then after 4-5 seconds dissconnect again, and so I get the "Application Loader was unable to connect with your device" error while the loader is trying to recconect to JVM...
Is there any hope for my phone? I love my torch and was realllly hoping to hold out until Blackberry releases their new phones in the new year.
I think I might try soaking the phone in 99% isopropanol in hopes in might be just some mineral build up from the rain water.
But I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone has to help me try and get my phone working again.
Thank you.

Hello...and apologies for the delayed reply!
Hopefully you already have resolved this...but just in case...
Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing the proper process (including the maximum waiting time) reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
Good luck!

Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off.

Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off after a few seconds, but the Windows bootcamp partition works fine.
The repair disc option (using install disc) failed, and the computer cannot locate the original Mac side partition. Only Bootcamp appears under options to "restore from backup" or reinstall. The repair disc options says it should be repaired but doesn't seem to know how.
Macbook Pro.
Snow leaopard
Bootcamped with Windows.
Any ideas?

Hold c or option key and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, run DU Repair from there.
run through this list of fixes 1-8
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If it doens't work, you can recover files if you don't have any current OS X file backups, then grab what you can out of Bootcamp
Use Data Rescue installed on the extenral boot drive ($100) to read the bits of the internal (non-filevaulted) drive to retrieve OS X data files if you can't get them off manually via drag and drop methods.
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
If you want to clone Windows, use WinClone and another drive. However it's likely compromised, unless it something you did in Windows, like trying to create a new parttition perhaps?
Then perform a Zero Erase and install of 10.6 as shown here (on the entire drive, not only the parittions), this will give a new GUID partition table, EFI and map off bad sectors, totally fresh everything.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
You cna use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the new extenral setup to the new scrubbed internal drive. Recreate Bootcamp and WinClone back or fresh install Windows into Bootcamp like before. OR opt to use virtual machine software which is safer.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
Windows 7 can write to the boot drives GUID partition map (unlike XP), this is likely why it's borked now.
