  • The screen is dark and i can barely see the icons.

    it seems like the brightness is all the way down but it is not. i've reset the ipod several times to no avail. can it be easily repaired at a good price or should i get another one?

    Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem that indicates a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price.

  • My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

    My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

    If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
    I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

  • With recent upgrade to 7.0.4, I can barely see the screen as the background on everything is too light.  How can this be fixed or how do I unstall this upgrade?  It is almost impossible for me to use my phone now.

    I am barely able to see anything on my phone, texts, emails, etc with this recent update to 7.0.4  How do I fix this or uninstall this recent update?

    Thanks for the response, but it doesn't help.  The icons in email are barely legible as is the keyboard for email and texting.  Even reading your response on the phone was an issue.

  • The screen for my ipod touch 2nd ge has gone dim and i can barely see anything! what do i do?

    the screen on my 2nd gen ipod went dim very suddenly and i can't get it to go bright again! i went on the brightness settings but it doesnt seem to make a difference...

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a sftware problem:
    - Reset
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on v

    Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on the centre part with writing etc is almost black with light around edge. will this go? do i need to send it back?

    Maybe your backlight is burning out? That's what I would think when the center is black but the edges have light. I'm not sure if a reset would fix the backlight but you can try (hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release). If I were I'd send it back to Apple but do you know if you are still under warranty? You should be if you've had your iPod less than a year.

  • Ibook screen has gone dark

    I'm helping a friend with a G4 i-book, about 3 years old I think. Today, while working on it, the screen went black. I think it may have gone to sleep but I cannot know for sure. I pressed the F2 key checking to see if he had somehow turned down the brightness but no change. I took it to the window and can see the computer is awake. Using the light, and turning the laptop at a side angle, I can see folders, etc. I went to the dock and found system preferences and clicked on display. The brightness was about half way so I turned it up but the screen stayed just as dark, almost impossoble to see anything. We shut it down and restarted it and while I can see it is on and awake, the screen is so dark you cannot possibly use it or see what is there without holding it up to light with an odd angle.
    I did do a search by many of the posts were about flickering or flashing dark. His screen has gone dark and while I can see things if I 'peer' carefully, the screen is black all the time.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey Michelle,
    Most certainly this is a inverter cable issue. Usually they open up near the hinge point. I've repaired two that this happened to. I have also seen two that shorted to ground and took out a tiny fuse on the logic board so after I repaired the short I had to bridge the fuse w/ a fuse link.
    Try moving the display up and down while it's on. If it comes on it's most certainly that cable.

  • OfficeJet Printer Pro 8620 - screen has gone dark!

    I have an OfficeJet Pro 8620.   Although it's still able to print, the screen has gone dark so I'm not able to fax or scan any documents.
    Need help ASAP, please!

    Hey @Naidia,
    Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.  I would like to assist you with your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer's issue. 
    Just to clarify, is it that your printer display is too dark to easily navigate through the menu items, or is it completely black and non-responsive (save for the printing and faxing functionality you mentioned)? 
    The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors, have poor connection, paper feed issues and quality issues.
    Secondly, I recommending that you perform a 'hard reset': 
    Reset the printer
    Press the Power button () to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button () to turn it on.
    Please let me know a little more about your printer's issue if these basic steps don't restore your display's regular functionality and visibility. 
    Thank you!

  • Having just installed Firefox my screen has gone dark. Can I brighten the screen or not use it as my main Browser?

    Having just installed Firefox for the 1st time my screen has gone dark. I am on a MAC which also has Safari on it. I have made the Firefox the main Browser. Can I make my screen brighter or should I take off Firefox.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. From the troubleshooting you performed and the hotness I suspect a hardware proboem.

    If under warranty and not bused Apple will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker, like a colour burn but also a bit washed out. Can anyone advise what may be wrong before I take it for repair?

    My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker all of a sudden. It's almost like a colour Burn and it's also washed out. Can anyone advise what the problem may be before I take it for repair?

    Check the settings in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display.
    It's possible to alter some of those settings accidently by hitting the wrong key combinations.

    Try plugging it it to see if the screen comes on. If not then you're screen is damaged.
