IPhone won't start - blank screen

unable to power-up iPhone... blank screen!

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Does it still charge if you use the adapter? If yes, let it charge for 10min, then connect in recovery mode, if resetting did not work. Recovery mode is explained in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • IPod on iPhone won't start up

    The iPod on my 3g iPhone won't start up. I touch the button and the iPod begins to "start up". The screen goes white like it's loading and then nothing happens, until finally it returns me to the home screen. I've tried accessing the iPod from the bottom row button, from iTunes on the phone, and by double-pressing the Home button. I have turned the phone off and then back on. I've held the Home button for 6 seconds, and I've also done a reset with the Home and Sleep buttons.
    Any ideas?
    The other night it worked fine. I accessed the iPod and found a song I was discussing with a friend. I went to bed, woke up, and the iPod wouldn't load/open. It hadn't been charged or synched. No app or song downloads in between uses. No drops, no damage, nothing. I have an 8 gig and I have less than 1 gig of space left free. Could this be hampering the iPod launch?
    Thank you.

    You'll have to reinstall the iPhone's firmware. Open iTunes up, right click on the iPhone on the left hand side and select backup. The backup has been adjusted in iTunes so that it will also backup your camera roll, but if I were you I would make a copy of all your pictures just in case. After the backup finishes, click on the Restore button on the iPhone home page in iTunes. After the reinstall, it will prompt you to restore your backup to your iPhone. After the backup is restored, sync your iPhone with iTunes and all your data will be back on the iPhone.
    Let me know how it works for you.

  • My iphone won't start at all and slowly started to fade out

    my iphone won't charge from Dec 31 midnight. well first it was freezing, and i lock it then i plug the charger. but it doesn't turn on until morning - right now actually. i already restore it and it was working but it freeze again! i reboot it over and over but black dots started to show up and the screen started to fade out. according to my experience, the screen were burned. is it means that i should go to the store for fixing it or i should get a new phone? HELP!

    Did you try booting into your Recovery partition? Hold down the command and R keys whilst booting and if you can get to your Recovery partition use Disk Utility to verify your disk and, if needed, repair the disk.
    If it can't be repaired, then it's likely dying.

  • My iphone won't start up?!?!

    Why won't my iphone start up it got spilled on and the screen works but it won't start up.

    From the Support FAQ:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#repair3
    *Can I get my iPhone serviced outside the country of purchase?*
    No, service for eligible repairs is only available in the country where your iPhone was originally purchased.
    I agree with A Mitchell about trying a restore in iTunes.

  • MBP A1260 (Early 2008): Won't start, black screen, continuously lit LED - bad logic board?

    Hello everyone!
    I'm having a rather serious issue with my MBP A1260 (early 2008) running the latest version of OSX 10.5. This is what happens (or doesn't happen) when I start it:
    Usual start-up sounds (fans, HDD, Superdrive)
    No chime at startup
    Blank screen (I even can't see anything if I hold it against a light source)
    The LED is on continuously. Bright at first, then after a second only dim
    No backlight of the screen, no keyboard lighting
    No reaction to pressing the volume or brightness keys, even after waiting for a while (the OS isn't password protected)
    I tried a couple things and googled for a bit. This is what I've tried so far:
    Plug in an external monitor - no signal
    Removed the battery, used an old battery (which doesn't hold too much power anymore, but is working) - nothing
    Restarted with alt-key pressed to bring up the bootcamp menu - nothing
    Reset PRAM and NVRAM (P+R+opt+cmd at startup) - nothing
    Reset SMC - nothing
    Removed all RAM - nothing
    Tried all combinations of RAM modules and RAM banks individually - nothing
    As you can see, I've already tried quite a bit to get my computer back up, but there's been no success so far. As far as I can tell, this thing's logic board is broken, which would be a prohibitively expensive repair at about 600€ to 700€. I know the logic board is basically the whole computer, but that's an insane amount of cash for a four year old computer.
    Do you wise people have any other ideas how to get this thing running again?
    If not, I can only come up with three options:
    Sell the MBP on ebay as broken
    Buy another A1260 with a working logic board and exchange it or
    Pay for the insanely expensive repair
    Do you have other ideas?
    Luckily, I have another early 2011 MBP, which I'm using right now. But to be honest, it may be the last mac I ever own.
    Anyways, I'm thankful for all responses. I promise to keep you updated if I get the machine running again.

    Any ideas?

  • Iphone 5 map app blank screen

    My built in map application doesnt work. I see the blue dot updating my location, but doesnt show any maps. Just a blank screen. I can pull directions and turn by turn navigation. Everything works but the road/street maps. Does anyone know a fix to this problem?

    I am having the exact same problem... no one was able to provide me with a solution to this.
    This is a major problem since all apps using location services (such as Facebook, Foursquare, Contacts...) use the apple maps as a default application.
    Apple won't let you use anyother map application for your phone. The least they could do is to break the phones free cuz while iphone5 is a great device, some of the software (let's be frank) is not quite there yet. I am so frustrated with this issue

  • .swf won't play - blank screen

    Hello,
    I had my flash designer take a 16MB .mpg file and convert it
    to a 2MB .swf
    file.
    I created a "blank" .hmtl page and dropped in the .swf -
    which shows up as
    the white box on this page:
    http://emerge-solutions.com/pland
    (this link will forward you to the page.)
    After I got a blank screen, I uploaded the .flv (2MB) and the
    .fla (14MB)
    files to the server as well (same folder as the .html file)
    but that didn't
    help - same blank screen.
    Can anyone help me understand why this .swf won't play?
    Thank you in advance!

    It plays fine for me.

  • PB Won't start--grey screen with logo--no spinning wheel

    Did an update that required a restart--got grey screen with the apple logo and that's all. Tried resetting the Pram and the PMU, no luck. Won't start in safe mode or from another DVD (tried both the original and my Tiger disks). It was working normally before the update (iTunes and I think an Airport update and a couple of other things). I've removed and re-installed the RAM with no change.

    Thanks!
    HD disconnected it starts from a CD. HD re-connected it now displays the spinning geary thing but doesn't get any further. Disk First Aid found and fixed many problems but it still won't go past the spinning thingy. It passed Apple's hardware tests. So--a new HD is likely in order but I want to try a more comprehensive disk repair program and recommendations for that and for a new HD are welcome!

  • T410 won't boot, blank screen and keyboard unresponsive at power up.

    Hi, my Lenovo T410 laptop won't start. I hit the power button and it looks like it's about to boot up. The thinklight blinks on as normal, the cd drive is checked, the caps lock button blinks on, then nothing. No display, and keyboard is unresponsive. Power light remains on; if I leave it a while the fan comes on. I can turn the machine off using the power button, but the problem remains next time I switch it on.
    I've tried removing power and battery, pressing power button 10 times then holding power for 30 secs, before replacing power and battery, but nothing happens. I've tried using a different keyboard. I've tried plugging in an external monitor. No change. 
    This problem appeared after I left it on overnight. I have a hunch that it went into hybernation mode, perhaps, and that it disrupted some important function which it was unable to complete. Not sure though. Any help gratefully received.
    Many thanks,
    Pete
    Solved!

    Hi, Fn+F7 didn't do anything.
    So I took out the HDD and both RAM modules, including the one under the keyboard. At power on it beeped as follows: 1 beep, followed by 2 series of 3 beeps, followed by 1 beep. 
    I replace the HDD and one ram module under the keyboard leaving the other one out - this didn't change anything; I then switched up the RAM modules - again, no change. Does this mean the motherboard and processor are OK? What could the problem possibly be in this case? Very mysterious!
    Incidentally, I should perhaps have mentioned that I kept the unit in an unheated room and it did get very cold there a few days ago, which coincides with when the booting problem first appeared.
