IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?

IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works? What's would be wrong?? I have dropped it and the lower volume button went partly in side the IPod (thats why i had the assisted touch on) and its been working very slowly fore the last week or so. but other then that it was fine.

With the information given, If the screen is completely black even after the reset, it's sounds as a hardware issue
Could be : The battery
The charger
The phone itself
You can narrow these down one by one preferably.
-If you have an extra battery, test it.
-Try another charging cable or another outlet
If neither of those affect it, you can also wipe the phone, but that's pretty much the last last step you should do since it erases everything. Then restoring it. Time varies.
If you are still having trouble, contacting your carrier, the closest Apple Store, or the technical support line for Apple.

Screen went black but still works

How do I fix iphone 4 screen went black-still works and already tried shutting it off

I fix a lot of phones and have only experienced this once with a customer.She told me that the screen went black but the phone still rang.I thought she was just doing something wrong or that maybe she dropped it and the LCD ribbon cable hopped off the board.By the time she got the phone to me the battery had completely died as she could not turn it off.After I received the phone I plugged it in and to my amazement it came alive after the usual 5 or so minutes it takes an iPhone to fire up after being dead.So if possible let it fully drain and then plug it in at the mains charger.Hope this helps.

I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

HT201210 My Iphone 4S screen went black but iTune is unable to finish recovery and software restore.

My Iphone 4S screen went black but the Iphone was still working. I was able to play music with the headset.
I went a head and put it in a safe mode to perform a recovery. iTune updated the software succesfully but is unable to finish recovery and software restore.
I went to the support page to see what suggestion apple has but I had done already what they asked (update software, unplug all other USBs, restart the computer, iTune and restore process).
Any suggestion what I can do?
Thanks

Make an appointment at the genius bar. It's probably a hardware failure.

HT4061 my screen went black but it still makes sounds?

my phone out of no where the screen went black yet I still hear text notifications

Hi there SofiVelez,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

My screen went black but if I shine a light on it I can see it? What do I do?

My screen went dark but I can barely see it if I shine a light on it. I tried to find my mouse on the screen but can't

If you have a VGA display and a correct display adapter, you should be able to see the computer's desktop and access it there.
The http://ifixit.com site has various repair guides and as a reference, you could look into the proper one for your model and build version of Mac to see what they say. Some users of their site contributed comments in a few of them.
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop
Details are important, since the model number may represent many years of changes, and not tell exactly what one you have. And the serial number in your computer can be used to identify-by-serial number, information on the model you have, its configuration as shipped, year, etc.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
Or try & find it at http://everymac.com database.
There are circuits, and cables that flex when the display lid is closed, plus another one that sits by the logic board that support display function, so one of these probably has failed. It would require an authorized repair or someone very handy and experienced in this design of portable computer repair. I doubt a casual user would be able to replace the correct parts; then without causing another kind of issue if they messed up some other parts that currently are not contributing to the symptom you noted.
Troubleshooting is something an expert can do. But you can use the computer with a second display so long as you have an adapter that will work with the kind and type of ports and plugs that are there. Other adapters exist that may not work, but can look very much like those what do.
Good luck & happy computing!

My screen went black but still rings

My screen is black but still rings. What do I do

Hello Bradley,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone screen remained dark when the phone was on. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.

I tried to restart my iPad2 buy turning it off as per the manual, but when the screen went black the little circle keeps turning around in the center now for around one hour. I tried to turn it back on but it does not work it is just black and the circle is turning around as if it is doing something. How can I turn it back on now. please help!!!

I fixed it , thank you for anyone who would have sent me a message. I just pressed and was holding both the sleep/wake button and the home and it worked.

My Ipad (4?) screen went black but I can hear it. I tried hitting both the sstart button and sleep button for 10 seconds and the apple icon comes up, my screen saver shows for 1 second and it returns to black screen again. I can hear SIRI. How do I fix?

I had been using the IPAD and all of a sudden it started talking back to me and when swiping apps to close them they would not close. She (the IPAD) kept talking back to me such as "use three fingers" etc. Then the screen went blank and if I touched it I could get it to beep at various touch points. SIRI would also communicate, but the screen stayed black.
As was suggested here, I tried getting a reboot by holding the sleep key with the home key and after 10 seconds the apple logo shows and 5 seconds later my screen saver comes on for just one second, and then it goes back to a black screen. SIRI tells me shes not available and someone else, must be her sister, says things like 90%, 85%, 80% if I continually swipe the screen. Can anyone help me?

Hello, Juniorjr2.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled. Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy. To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature. You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps. If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.

Screen went black, but it still vibrates and sound.

I dropped my iphone 4, it automatically went black and I thought it turned off, but I pressed the lock button and it sounded like I locked it, if I press the screen I can hear the sound of buttons when you enter your passcode and all. But the screen is black.
I tried holding both buttons to reset it, but wont work at all.

You display has been nudged out of place or broken. You need service on the phone.

My Macbook's screen went black, but the laptop still works!

I have a 2008 MacBook and it was working perfectly fine until one day I was using it and the screen instantly faded to black. I first thought my battery power had shut off, so then I closed the laptop but that little light on right front side was still blinking meaning the computer was still on. I then shut down the computer and turned it back on but as it started the screen was its normal brightness for about 3 seconds then it quickly went black again. If I shine a light on the screen I can barely make out what it shows, which is my normal screen when I open up the laptop.
Did my screen somehow break from overuse or does have to do with the battery?

Try a SMC reset
