My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.

My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast.  I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
thanks for your help

Look in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong.

  • My iPhone has a broken screen and it refuses to charge, but I already had it taken to apple before. Do I have to pay for replacement?

    After my first iPhone had broken due to the home button refused to work and a smashed up screen, I took it to apple for a replacement.
    After I got my new phone it worked perfectly fine until a few months later my screen broke again, so I took it to a phone shop for repairing and they had done it dodgy.
    The screen wasn't in properly and it had difficulties charging, and again the screen had broken and the charging got worse, I want to take it back to apple but will I have to pay to replace again because I've already taken it to apple?

    You can forget about taking it back to Apple. Once a third-party touched it, you voided all warranty & support, as well as the right to an out of warranty replacement. They'll just hand it back to you.
    Don't bother going to Apple, you'll just be wasting your time.

  • 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

  • My iphone has a black screen and wont turn on, but still has vibrations. How can I fix it?

    My iphone wont turn on but still has functions, how do I fix it?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

    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.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up

    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

What is the cheapest way to get it fixed or can i fix it myself without any money? I also didnt have the chance to back up my data because it went black screen out of now where.

    If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
    If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.

    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service.

    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?

    - 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.

    That is correct.
    That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period
