My iPhone 4 screen has stopped functioning normally, the screen is just blank but everything else is fine. Help!

I can receive calls and messages but cannot see them unless I do a screen shot then load it onto my computer. I have tried turning it off then on and also resetting it without success. It seems to be fully functioning apart from the screen being off. Can anyone help?

Hey NJF7,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the screen is black. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

  • Blue Screen (after restart) but everything else is fine.

    Hi,
    I have an Xserve 2.3Ghz DP that is running fine a dandy except that the monitor connected to it shows just a blue screen. (no Dock, no menu bar). The strange thing is that when Retrospect starts up for it's automatic daily backup, the menu bar appears but it has only "retrospect options" available, the apple menu is all greyed out. Another anomaly is that during the startup procedure, I can see the grey apple "centered" onscreen, then the blue progress bar appears with all the normal information. But as soon as it's past those screens, the display just goes to a solid blue.
    As I said before, everything else seems fine, my retrospect backups are happening as scheduled.
    I use this server to burn and verify all my archives, so I really appreciated having a monitor connected. I've tried three other monitors all of them display just blue.
    I thought maybe the Dock was hidden, it's not. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Turn off the modem while you're trying to access the router. And turn off any software firewalls or browser proxy settings.
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • My husbands iPhone 5 has a shadow up the screen how do I clear it?

    I Have a iPhone 5  on IOS 7.1.2 and it has developed a long shadow down the screen today on all screens but it is not as obvious on the home screen.
    how can I clear it?

    Hello there, Biddy.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with the display on your iOS device:
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
    Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My iPhone 5 has Water/Condensation Underneath the Screen! Help ME!

    I left my iPhone out on a bench near the pool while I went swimming. People were shooting water out of water guns everywhere so it's possible some of the water got onto my iPhone. The iPhone works perfectly and it was dry when I picked up and it was still working. Now there's dark spots and blue discoloration under the screen! I really freaked out and put it in a bag of rice. Has this happened to anyone?? What should I do!?! Thanks!

  • My iphone 5c has lifted out of its case and now the screen has cracked where its lifted its still under warentee but i havnt touched it. help?

    My iphone 5c has lifted out of its case on one side, and now the screen has cracked on that side! its still under warentee but i dont know what to do im not paying for it to be fixed when i havnt done anything! is there anything or anyone thats experianced this problem?

    You can get all your question answered, by taking it into the Apple store.
    If it is a manufactuing defect then you'll more than likely get a replacement without being charged.
    If they deem that the phone is damaged by accidental cause, then you would need to pay for an out of warranty 5C unless you have apple care or apple care ++

  • My iphone 4s has blue bars on the screen. I can't see anything on the screen. How do I fix?

    I can't see anything on the screen. I can receive calls but can't do anything on it. Help. How do I fix?

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.  Ignore the slide to power off screen.

  • My iphone 4s got wet and shows the apple logo when charging but nothing else?

    When i hold the home button in and its on charge the apple logo will appear for 5 seconds then go but nothing else, with out being connected for charge nothing happens.

    It's water damaged. It is not in warranty. The warranty was voided when it got wet.
    The replacement phone will inherit the balance of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.

  • My contacts are locked and I have shut the device off and still contacts are locked, but everything else appears fine.

    My contact app is locked on a contact, everything else is working fine.  I have shut the device off and onand no change???.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • My Iphone 4 has a section of the screen not responding to touch - it's where i have to enter my pincode so won't unlock - what can I do?

    Hi I have a strip across the middle of my Iphone 4 screen that is not repsonding to touch at all.  One minute it was working the next it wasn't.  It's right across where I need to input my pincode to unlock, so I can;t do anything with the phone at all. I've tried soft resetting it etc but no joy.  What else can I do - phone is only 6 or 7 weeks old

    well recomend to see if ur iPhone is under warranty.. but sounds like a hareware issue! you can try it but i dont think it would work but to see if its a software issue put device it Recover mode or known has DFU mode an force restore (you will lose all content on the iPhone) an install 6.1.3 fresh on it but to me sounds like a LCD & Digitizer problem might need a new Assembly...

  • IPhone 5 has vertical lines on the screen. Help !

    Hey a few days ago. I left my phone on a table faced down in a small puddle of bubble mix. ugh.
    Everything works the sound, touch screen, camera. No glitches. But my phone is discolored & has vertical lines.
    I was wondering of If should just get a new screen or if there's a better way ??

    Try backing up the phone and then do a restore, when you restore set it up as new to see if it still persists if it does you''ll probably need a repair.

  • HT4623 My pad has stop working.  The screen with a plug pointing to itunes is coming up.  What now?

    Help.  my ipad was caught in the rain and now this one screen keeps coming on.  Can my pad be saved?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
