My iPhone 5 screen stopped working, but the phone is still turned on.

Last night I was sat using my iPhone 5 and it froze a little bit, so I locked the screen thinking it would solve the problem. But after locking the screen the screen did not turn back on, however the phone itself is still turned on as siri works. I have been sending texts via siri and listening to music but nothing at all on the phone is working. To make problems worse my lock button does not work so I can't restart the phone. What can I do? 

Press hold standby button + home button for 15-20 secs and after that the iphone maybe reboot and its screen may work
just try....hope it works
reply soon cheers TGT

  • My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

  • My screen went black but the phone is still working because I can hear my text tones come in and also is ringing when someone calls.Screen is still black.Held the home button and top button for up to 5 min,I'm not getting an apple logo for reset. HELP!

    The contract on this phone expires March 19. Its not worth getting a new one over a few weeks!

    Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones  trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

  • My iphone 4 screen is black but my phone is still on and responsive

    my phone froze for a while then when it unfroze and after i locked it, the screen stayed black. it's still responsive to calls and other stuff but the screen won't turn on. pls help!

    You can turn off Find My iPhone by logging in to iCloud.com on a computer and turning it off there. As for the phone itself, it's obviously time to get a new one. The two falls have damaged it beyond repair and it will need to be replaced. When you do, get a LifeProof or Otterbox case to protect your next device.

  • External mic stopped working, but the built-in still does

    Most likely during one of the recent runs of pacman -Syu, something changed causing the external mic to record some quiet static regardless of actual input. If unplugged, the built-in mic kicks in and records fine.
    What can you guys recommend as steps for troubleshooting this? The mic works if I boot into Windows. Also tried running alsamixer and setting all volumes in Capture to max.
    This is on a HP dv7t-6100 Quad laptop.
    Thanks,
    Pav

    Replace the SIM with a working SIM from the carrier.
    If there are issues with the home button, take the device to Apple for evaluation.  All 5S's are still under warranty, unless they have suffered user damage.

  • HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

    Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
    sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
    I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
    I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
    What can i do?

    Hello,
    I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
    THAT was not an option!
    BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
    In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
    I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
    Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
    By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
    We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
    the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
    It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
    treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
    @Apple:
    Please fix that issue in the next update.
    Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • My iphone 6 screen is cracked and the phone is a little bent, however i purchased my phone in New Jersey but i live in Bermuda (an island). I got the phone in October 2014. Where do i send it to get fixed? And would i be under warranty?

    My iPhone 6 screen is cracked and the phone is a little bent, however I purchased my phone in New Jersey but I live in Bermuda (an island). I got the phone in October 2014. Where do I send it to get fixed? And would I be under warranty?

    Damages of any kind cause by the user is not under warranty unless you have Apple Care + (plus).
    You might need to send your iPhone to a friend who lives in New Jersey for an Out of Warranty replacement. (Not free)
    Warranty & services are only valid in country of purchase.

  • IPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black.

    I bought an iPhone 5 in New York last December. Now I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I can't find an authorized service center because they said that only if I bought it from a local carrier they attend the warranty.
    My iPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black… The only way to make it work is to reboot with Home and Lock buttons pressed at the same time. But in the process most of the times it flickers again, and again, and again. I couldn't find a reason to identify what could be causing the issue. Also sometimes when it freezes, some group applications get ungrouped, causing a big mess.
    I already tried to restore the phone, remove the SIM, delete all applications with no luck.
    Any sugestion? Thanks!

    Was this phone ever jalbroken?
    If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix.  Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA.  Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

    Hello Bethandfive,
    You may need to restore the iPhone while it is in what's called 'recovery mode.'
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Notes:
    In certain situations, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue. If your device is already in recovery mode, you can attempt to restore using iTunes.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

    I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

    Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
    First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
    If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
    Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
    No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

  • Can I have the back panel of my iPhone 5s replaced (it is damaged, but the phone is still operational) if i come into an Apple store?

    Can I have the back panel of my iPhone 5s replaced (it is damaged, but the phone is still operational) if i come into an Apple store?

    I have applecare plus, but this only covers operational issues or 2 accidental issues (ex., water damage, drop and phone operation is affected).
    Apple would not be willing to charge me for the back panel and labor involved in replacing it?
    Thanks.

  • My iphone 4s screen went black, then siri stopped working, now the phone wont charge

    My iphone 4s screen went black, but Siri was still working and then a little bit later Siri stopped working. I then let the battery go dead and have plugged it into my laptop and it is not responding. I tried holding the lock button and home button for 10-15 seconds but that did nothing. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    Hi
    how old is the device as the battery may need replacing or if no help visit your local apple store or contact support
    good luck
