My iphone 4 screen just went black and will not come back on, I can connect it and charge it and it makes noise but no screen?

What does it mean when your screen just goes black and will not turn back on? I can connect it to computer to charge and it recognizes it and charges it but no picture on screen.

Hey Krkirst10,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with your device, however let's try to isolate as much as possible to determine if that is so. To isolate the issue, follow the regular troubleshooting steps for power issues:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4. After at least 30 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

    My iPhone shut down and will not come back on. Can anyone give me an answer on how to correct this problem?

    Connect to a wall outlet so you have solid power, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

    My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    Make sure it's charged...plug into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then reset it: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

    My IPhone will not turn on, I charged it last night and it had a complete charge and during a phone call it just died and will not come back on.

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

    how would you recommend that I try turning the phone back on, yes I have to put the power back to it and it still will not turn on?

    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • T61 Cut off in middle of working and will not come back on

    I have a T61p that was working fine, then just cut off.   It was plugged into power outlet.  It will not come back on, or display any lights.  I have tried the 10 power button pushes, last for 30 secs several times now and it does not have an effect.  I have pulled the drives out and the memory also.
    Any other help?
    Thanks!

    So the power light is still there, but the laptop doesn't come on, does the HDD drive spin up when you press the power button? 
    Do you have warranty still? If not you can still get a post warranty warranty extension by calling lenovo, and get the laptop fixed.
    Was your laptop overheating or doing weird stuff before this event occurred?

    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • Hp w2338h monitor stays on for about a sec then goes black and will not come back on

    When I turn my computor on the monitor will only stay on for about a sec and then goes black. I can turn monitor off and on and it does the same thing. A new motherboard and been installed and computer works well with other monitors. Was using upgraded video card which has been removed and using orginal video card that came with computer. The monitor started acting up and before new board installed and would come on when monitor was turned off and then on. Now it just stays black after being rebooted or turned on. Can anyone help or have any ideas what could be the problem?

    Hi charlezr,
    I see that your monitor goes blank after you start up the computer, and I would be happy to assist you! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
    What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop computer and monitor?
    What version of Windows do you have installed on your computer?
    Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
    In the meantime, I recommend following this document on when the Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer. This should help you determine if the blank screen is being caused by the computer hardware, the video signal to the monitor, or the monitor itself.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!
