My iPhone 5 screen shows a black screen.

I can tell it's on because I still hear the charging sound and vibrate when I switch when I turn vibrate on any suggestions why?

Hi Lil_Apple_Technician,
If you are getting no video on you iPhone you may want to try the troubleshooting steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
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.
Best,
Brett L

I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

IPhone 5c was powered off; when turned back on screen only shows in black and white. Have tried several times with no success. Any suggestions?

I purchased the iPhone 5c about 4 months ago. I turned it off briefly last night and when I turned it back on, the screen wallpaper and app icons are now in black and white. I have tried turning it off and on again several times with no success; screen still shows only black and white. All other functions of phone/text work correctly. Any suggestions on what to try?

Hello Teri,
You may have greyscale turned on. Try going to Settings > General > Accessibility and toggle that off and it should go back to color. Check out the page below for more information.

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

Hello this is for sure software problem with the new ios I had lots of customers with the same issue your having that the shutter will get stuck or just a black screen etheir back camera or front camera won't work with this update. The only thing to do is wait for another update.

Take it back to where you purchased the device and get another device.

First, try resetting the phone - press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears.

My iphone 4 screen went black and will not come back on, the screen lights up but is still black and will not show anything on the screen, it still vibrates though. help

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.

My iphone 3GS screen went black

my iphone 3GS screen randomly went black and it was fully charged... ive tried to hold the buttons down that turn it off, i tried plugging it into the wall and my computer nothing is working the screen is still black

My wife's phone has done this today.
16Gb 3GS running 5.1.1 that has been fine up until today.
It was around 80% charged and running rather slowly today, then it appears to have shut off. The symptoms are:
- The screen has gone black (as in off, not on but showing a black screen)
- The mute switch does not make it vibrate.
- I can call the phone number and it rings, the phone does nothing though.
- I connect it to my Mac and iPhoto launches, I can import pictures from it OK.
- iTunes will recognise it eventually, but it will not sync, nor will it restore.
- Holding the Hold & Home buttons does nothing.
- I cannot force it into recovery or DFU modes.
Bit stuck as to what to try next. Still seeing what I can find online.
It only needed to last until next month!

Iphone 5 continously showing the charging screen even after the charger is unpluggrd

last night my iphone 5 was discharged completely and got switched off.when I plugged in the charger its showing the black screen with the charging icon and iam unable to switch on the phone.find the attached screen shots.please suggest.

But if they have no proof of water damage e.g no Liquid indicators changed i can still be under warranty?
after the water dried it left some stains or white vapors or some sort of condesation that just doesnt seem to go away
Liquid indicators are rather superfluous, aren't they? You really are going to have to take money.

Hi Ellen,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 4 has a dim or blank black screen but responds to some commands like enabling vibrate. I understand this may be a frustrating situation, but the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below will help you solve the issue.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Take care,
-Jason
