IPhone stays black after reboot/restore. No logo on reboot.

My girlfriend dropped her iPhone 4 and the screen went black. I tried a reboot, restore, putting it in DFU mode...nothing seems to work. I'm afraid she may have busted something internally. It still rings when you call, still vibrates and still activates voice control when holding the home button. Anyone else ever come across a similar issue. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Yup... it's broken.
Take it to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement.
Then get her a case (Otterbox, Life, or similar) if she's clumsy.

  • HT201263 Iphone4 screen stays black after configuration

    Iphone4 failed to respond during normal usage. Therefore I turned off the Iphone4 and restarted the device. Unfortunately the screen of the Iphone stayed black after seeing the apple logo.
    As the above didn't resolve the issue, I restarted the Iphone by holding the home and power button. The apple logo appeared again and than the screen stayed black. Although the i-phone is making sounds and you can switch between normal and silend mode.
    Than I rebooted the I-phone by using Itunes, and reinstalled a backup, also the screen stayed black after the backup. Although in the beginning you can see the adapter and I tunes logo on the Iphone screen.
    Than I rebooted by using Itunes and set up as a new device. I can see the following screen:
    After swiping the screens turns black although when I touch the screen I can hear the phone is still working.
    How can I resolve this issue?

    Call of Duty puts a heavy processing load on several internal components that may be causing them to overheat.  I would suggest that you download and install the Free and highly recommended "iStatPro" utility and post the temperature readings that it gives you, around the time that the time that the display goes blank, here in this Forum.  (Play the game for quite a while and then check your temps in iStatPro.)  That may give us the data we need to diagnose your problem.

  • Imac G4 15" Screen Stays Black After Screen Saver Goes To Sleep

    I have an imac G4 15" that I just got from a friend that works pretty well, except that after it goes from the screen saver into to sleep mode, the screen stays black. I can hear the error chimes when I try to awaken the screen with the keys, but the screen just stays black. I have tried to increase the brightness, etc. but to no avail. Eventually I have to resort to re-booting and I am afraid that at some point, either the computer won't reboot or one of my external hard drives will crash. Any advice from someone who has experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    THANKS!

  • N97 camera screen goes and stays black after 10 mi...

    Since a month im the owner of an N97. Cost a lot of money. From the start the camera-screen goes black within ten minutes after booting. And it stays black, so the camera functionality is completely gone. The primary and the secondary neither work. I did hard resets, firmware upgrades, soft resets and i brought it to a Nokia service center twice. The second time they returned it after 2 1/2 weeks (today) but the problem is still there. Now I just wished i bought an iPhone instead, and its driving me mad...What to do? Like I said, I already went to the Nokia service centre twice... and did all the firmware upgrades.

    Almost the same here, with an N97, I found that I have to close the "so called" lens protector after the "processing image" disappear, and or close it when not processing anything, also I have to close it before it goes to stand by and that way the camera will work fine.
    Also don't open and close and open the "lens protector".
    In my case with a turn off and then on the camera comes to live again, is a pain, but not as bad as hard reseting all the time.

  • IBook screen stays black at reboot no matter what keys I hold down

    Hi, I posted a very similar issue a while back and was able to resolve it with some people's help:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13196227#13196227
    This time, I had to force shutdown cause the finder wasn't responding when I was transferring a movie to AppleTV. But now when I try to reboot, the screen stays black no matter what. I've tried booting while holding C, holding the mouse button and alt, but nothing brings me to the boot screen like last time. Similarly, I was low on Gigs, but I had a couple left and was in the process of making room. Would really appreciate any hep. I feel like a moron .

    Were you getting warning messages that the hard drive is almost full? You may have corrupted the files on the HD.

  • VLC fullscreen sometimes makes screen stay black after video ends

    like the subject says, sometimes the screen just stays black when a video ends while VLC is in fullscreen mode.
    I'm using VLC 2.0.8.a-1. I got the laptop in April, just in time for Revision 2013, had the problem more or less from the start, so that's since version 2.0.5 or 2.0.6
    So far I haven't found a way to get things back to normal when it happens. I've tried
    press f
    press ESC
    close and reopen lid
    switch to console (screen just stays black, even on consoles)
    Apparently the only thing I can do is pop up a terminal window via shortcut and reboot.
    As far as I can tell /var/log/Xorg.[0,1].log doesn't tell what's going on.
    In case it's important, I've only experienced this on my Thinkpad T430, it never happend on my old ASUS laptop or on my desktop pc. An Intel issue maybe? The other two run on nvidia cards, the T430 does have an nvidia card in addition to the on-chip HD 4000 but I don't use it (I'd love to since the DP port is only usable with the nvidia card, haven't been able to make it work with bumblebee yet but that's a different issue).
    Any ideas? Which log and config files do you need?

  • Monitor on MacBook Pro 17" stays black after it sleeps. Computer does come back on. I've reset the SMC and zapped PRAM but this has happened 2 days in row.

    I always turn on my computer first thing in morning to see if any important e-mail comes through and since it's at least another hour before I get to work, the computer goes to sleep. Well, yesterday, the display wouldn't wake up and stayed black. I called Apple Tech support and the nice guy on the phone walked me through resetting the internal power and zapping the PRAM. I had no problems for the rest of the day. THis morning, the same thing happened after it went to sleep for the first time during the day after having been started up. THis time I knew what to do, but I'm dreading the same thing happening. Any reason why this is and is there anything else I should do?  It's a 2011 MacBook Pro and runs Snow Leopard (10.6.7).

    I am having the similar issue.  I will open my powered up machine, and I will the display will turn on for a few seconds then it seems to go right back to sleep.  I need to close the lid and reopen it again and the display comes back.  Today after it came back on 2 minutes later it happened again.

  • IPhone goes black after 5 seconds

    My iPhone 4s, when I hit the round button, my screen goes black after 5 seconds.  Not sure why, I dont have any timeouts in the settings set to 5 seconds that I can tell, the only one i have is the lock, but that's at 5 minutes.  but its pretty consistent if the screen is black, then i hit the round button and it's sitting at the screen to swipe to unlock, if i dont do anything for 5 seconds, it goes black again.
    It will also go black randomly while the phone is unlocked and in use.  any ideas?   Can't imagine 5 seconds is the default idle time for it to go black, that's pretty fast!!

    Your iPhone has suffered damage and will need to be take or sent to Apple for replacement. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost wll be $79 US. If you don't, the cost (if memory serves) will be $269.
    Regards.

  • Why won't monitor clalibration stay on after reboot?

    Hi all,
    I just got a new Asus VE228 monitor and it looked really bright and washed out. So I adjusted the brightness and ran calibration to get it the way I like it.
    The problem is that after reboot, the calibration is gone and I have to go into the dispaly panel and click the color tab and the color gets selected and looks fine until next reboot.
    It automatically creates a profile neamed VE228. So I named mine that and there are two by that name. If I go into the display profiles folder and delete
    the one auto created, named VE228-00000469-0000-22FA-0000-00001A48BE81, it just creates a new one wiith bad settings. If I rename my good setting file with that name, then it just wipes out the settings. I even tried messing with the file and folder permissions on the display profiles folder.
    Anybody know how to keep my monitor settings so I don't have to open the displays control panel after every boot?
    Thanks a lot!
    Scott

    If I go into the display profiles folder and delete the one auto created, named VE228-00000469-0000-22FA-0000-00001A48BE81, it just creates a new one with bad settings.
    The OS isn't creating that one. In the old days, all (better) monitors came with a floppy disk, or CD that had the vendor supplied profile on it. It was a big waste of money to produce these things. People who actually used them lost the disks. Or, in most cases, they didn't use them at all.
    At least five years ago (I think more like 10), monitor manufacturers started putting the supplied profile on a chip in the monitor itself. This is now true of any display, whether it's a stand alone monitor, or a built in unit such as an iMac, laptop (any brand), etc.
    Both the Windows and Mac OS automatically see and copy this default profile from the monitor to the hard drive. That's what the file in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/ folder is. No matter how many times you delete it, the OS will copy it from the monitor again.
    As far as the issue itself, that is somewhat common with Mountain Lion, though I haven't seen it with Snow Leopard.
    The file that holds that information is in your user Library folder. From the desktop, hold down the Option key and choose Go > Library. Open the Preferences folder and put the following file in the trash:
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Restart, or log out and log back in. Select your monitor profile again. Hopefully, this time it will stick. There are other settings that will go back to the defaults when you remove this file. You'll have to wade through the System Preferences and see what needs to be put back where you had it.

  • Why is my iPhone 5s stuck after icloud restore

    Hey I got my new iPhone 5s. This is my second one tho, but after I pressed to restore my setting from icloud to this new phone its started. I got an apple logo with a bar which won't go further and stays arount 5%. I've tried to press the sleep and home button at the same time but once I start it again it just stops again at the same place. Someone who knows how to fix this?

    I suggest that you put your phone into recovery mode. Here's an Apple support page that explains this process. It needs to be followed step by step very carefully. Even then it may take several tries before the device enters Recovery Mode.

  • MacBook (2007) screen black after reboot/shutdown

    Hi all I hope you can help me.
    I have a MacBook C2D 2GHz, 2gigs of ram from mid 2007.
    I cant remember when the problem appeared but maybe 6 months ago.
    Every time my macbook is rebootet or shutdown after an update or if it runs out of battery the screen remains black. The sleep light stays constant on but the chime is played and cd drive makes it usual short start up sound.
    I can hear the harddrive working and after maby 30 sec, the screen comes on but its all whiteish with a black stripe down in the right side and stays like this, other times the screen comes on with the desktop but flashing/bounching
    If I hold down the power button to kill it off and hit the powerbutton again the same thing happens.
    The way I fix it is to power off, take out the battery for about 10 sec. put it back in and hold the trackpad button down or put two fingers on the trackpadand power on, it starts normal with the grey screen and the littel apple logo and boot normally to the desktop. But today today it took me 7 atempts with the above method before it worked.
    Is my screen about to die or is it software related.

    I have the same problem and I dont think I had this happen until 2 weeks ago and I've had the latop since the last week of August. I've also had the problem crop up when I had the laptop go to sleep while watching a video online and when I tried to wake the laptop back from sleep, I get the blank screen with the cursor. My system is a Macbook air 11" 2013 1.3 Ghz with 4gb ram and 256 gb SSD. I also have a 15 MBPro and have not encountered this problem. Is this anyway related to the recent update that OSX was pushing for the upcoming Maverick update?

  • Display stays black after waking due to USB plug-in/out

    hi,
    i forget to unplug the external mouse at times after shutting thsi pup down. when i unplug it AFTER sleep it wakes up again...but the screen stays dark (eventhough at night i see a phantom image very very faintly)
    inow i have the mouse coming in through a hub (kesington 4 port, no external power)..soemtimes i can unplug the mouse no prob from that...sometime it still makes the comp awake...with the darkened screen...
    a solution often is closing, waiting for sleep, opening...
    is there an easier way? (increase brightness? stay alert and unplug BEFORE closing?)
    at times i have also had to reboot...
    any info would be grrrrreat...thanks!
    pedro

    i have this exact same problem. it happens with anything usb i plug in, or at least it does it with my old usb mouse, printer, and external hard drive. its done it ever since i had the machine about 2 and a bit years ago. ive also noticed it does it with my bluetooth apple mouse. when the pb is asleep with the mains power connected, if i press the mouse button by accident with the display closed it wakes the computer and then if i open the display it sometimes has issues bringing the display back on.
    I don't know what causes this whether its a fault or just a design flaw in hardware or software, but i've just learned to live with it and try and remember not to unplug anything usb whilst its asleep.
    Your phantom image in the background is caused because the actual display is on and the lcd is making the image, but the backlight isn't turning on so unless ur in the right light you wont see the image, you'll get the same if you just turn the brightness down to the bottom on ur display. the image is still there just without the backlight.
    hope that helps a little.

  • Display stay black after wake up

    Hi,
    I hope there is someone who could help me, I have Macbook 2011 Early running Yosemite 10.10.2 and I have problem with my display turning back on after the sleep mode.
    When I open the lid my display stay's black but everything is actually working, I'm able to login but everything is still black. This only happens when I close the lid, if my macbook is still open in the sleep mode than is everything absolutely fine. I had also blue screen two times, any idea what it could be please ?
    I have tried to completely reinstall Yosemite, reset PRAM and SMC but none of this worked.
    Any advise please ? Is it something with the hardware ?
    I pretty much desperate and out of ideas how to fix that.
    I will be really happy for any advise.
    Thank you !
    Best Regards,
    Michal

    If you have not already, reset PRAM

    and if that does not help, reset SMC

    which is unplugging the iMac and reconnecting using a precise procedure. You should disconnect ALL cables when you do this. If you have been using power strip, connect the iMac's power cord directly to a wall power outlet for this test. Power up with nothing connected except for the power cord. Once startup completes, add just your keyboard/mouse. I don't know how often this problem occurred, but try running the iMac that way (before connecting any other peripheral devices) to see if you can get it to recur. If you cannot, add back your peripherals (one at a time if possible), and again see if you can get the problem to recur.
