My iphone 4 works but the screen wont turn on, whats wrong

My phonw got wet and the screen was cracked. so i thought the screen mustve gone bad or something so i bought a new screen and got it replaced. Now the whole phone is working like i can hear the messages come in and everythin but the screen just isnt turning on. I really need to know whats wrong with the d phone? Also i knew it was wet so i left the phone in rice for 2 days and then got the screen replaced.

try holding and pressing the sleep button and home button together for a few seconds and see if there will be any change in the screen and apple logo should appear after 10 seconds or so if not i guess its a problem with the screen itself maybe darkened pixels or maybe a wire is cut off

  • My iphone 4s works, but the screen is completely black... does anybody know how to fix this?

    Hi i woke up three days ago to my iphone 4s not working, assuming it had no charge i plugged it in and fully charged the battery.
    when i returned the screen was still black, but the phone was functioning (ringing and accepting text messages etc)...
    The screen has been blank since and have tried things like restoring and hard resets, but this has not worked. a very very vague image appears when in use but it is almost impossible to see.
    Can anybody suggest a way to maybe fix this issue if it is possible?
    If it is not possible would i be entitled to a replacement or free repairs as I have had the phone less than 1 year and should still qualify for the warranty?
    Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. It sounds like the backlight has failed.
    If it's under warranty, there will be no charge so long as the phone isn't physically damaged.

  • IPhone 4S working but the screen is black

    My iPhone screen is completely black but the phone works perfectly. I can connect it to the MAC, i can use Reflector to see everything, music, camera.. Everything works, but to see the phone's screen i need a torchlight. The fact is, that when i switch it on, i can see the Apple logo for a second and i can see everything when the phone is switched off (example: when charging i can see perfectly the battery icon, or "Connect to iTunes" ecc...). I tried to restore the phone from backup, to reset it, pressing home and the power button, DFU mode... EVERYTHING.
    My question is: will buying a new LCD screen solve my problem? If not, any idea?

    You need to make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there. We are just users like you and cannot possibly diagnose what's wrong with your phone without looking at it.

  • I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

    I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?

    The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

  • I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?

    Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone.  You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

  • HT1212 I just bought a used i pod touch from work but the screen says Ipod is disabled, how do i clear that to get back and enter in the passcode

    I just bought a used i pod touch from work but the screen says Ipod is disabled, how do I clear that to get back and eneter in the passcode?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

    I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

    Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
    What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
    Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
    I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

  • My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

    My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The screen wont turn on

    i have a verizon iphone 4 it doesnt turn on (LCD) but when i connect it to the wall or to itunes it works like it has no problem.... the screen wont turn on... can anyone help me plz..

    Hi,
         If it comes to life when plugged into the charger or via your computer and NOT on it's own, there is a good chance that the internal battery has died.
    Time for a trip to Apple or if your up to it  buy the parts online and do the repair yourself (no its not very hard)
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!

  • Imy phone is automatically restarting and the screen is turning blue what can i do to make it ok again??

    imy phone is automatically restarting and the screen is turning blue what can i do to make it ok again??

    Hey babylovesyou,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone shows a blue screen and is restarting on its own. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,
    Mario

  • What is wrong with my 30" Cinema Display?  The USB and FireWire ports still work, but the screen is pitch black. When you plug it into the computer, it detects that it's a Cinema Display.

    When you plug it into the computer, it detects that it's a Cinema HD but the screen is pitch black.
    For some reason, the USB and FireWire ports still work.

    If you shine a really bright light directly into the screen can you then see a faint image on the screen? If so, that would indicate the backlight has died (hardware failure) and the unit needs repairing.
