1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed. BlackBerry desktop software
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.  BlackBerry Software Download Site
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.
Good luck.

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    My ipad has a black screen and the apple logo and won't do anything else. I have tried to reset to no avail.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

  • IPhone 4 has a black screen but the backlight lights up

    So my friend was holding onto my phone for me and he dropped it. Now the screen is black, but the backlight will light up when you hit the unlock button, the home button or receive an alert. The sound works perfectly fine, and voice control works when trying to call someone, but i wont be able to hang up. also when plugging it into an idock and pressing play on the dock it will work. I took the phone apart and put it back together to make sure everything was hooked up right, but it still wont work. anyone know what could be wrong possibly? i dont want to spend money on a new screen if i dont have to. Thank you!

        Hi JKainer193,
    Broken phones are no good. It's important to have a properly working phone at all times. I see that you have performed some great troubleshooting. I want to help. Did you have insurance on the line http://bit.ly/xB4iTc ? Typically, when the screen has gone black, and powercycling the phone doest not work, then the device would need to be replaced. Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • My iphone has a black screen and the reset won't work. What else can I do?

    Today my phone screen went completely dark and all I could see were some faint vertical lines. It's on as it's still receiving messages but I can't access or see anything.
    Based on other similar questions, the answer seems to be to hold the on/off and home buttons together until something shows but nothing has happened after a few attempts of holding it for a while. Do I have any other options or do I need to go into a store?
    Thanks

  • Iphone is a black screen and the apple logo won't show on screen

    Hey there Maggie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,

  • My ipod has a black screen and  will not turn on how can i fix it

    I have tried everything that i can to get my ipod to turn on.  It has a black screen and hasnt done anything atleast 2 weeks.  Please help.

    1. Can you get it to light up doing a hard reset and holding the buttons down for at least a minute?
    2. Is it charged up?
    3. Is the USB power cable good?
    4. Can you get iTunes to recognize using recovery or DFU mode?

  • My ipad has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?

    My Ipad 1 has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?  It is charged.

    If Paul's advice doesn't work try this.
    Hold down on the sleep button AND the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    BTW ...In order to start up under normal circumstances you only need to hold down on the sleep button for a couple of seconds or so until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
