Try holding the Sleep/Wake button the the Home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. The phone should start up.
If it doesnt, then try holding the Home button, plugging into iTunes, and release the Home button after iTunes sees the phone in Recovery Mode.
Restore the device at this point.
If given the option, restore as new.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.

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

  • Iphone is stuck in black screen white apple logo.Help!

    I had a notication to update my IOS so I let the update run from my phone. Now my phone is stuck on black background with white apple logo. It has been this way for about 45 minutes. I tried connecting to itunes. Trying to restore my phone. Tried turning it off and on. Nothing is working. I have it plugged in right now and I am holding down the power and home buttons, it goes black for a couple seconds and then the logo pops right back up. Any advice?? I can't get the phone out of this screen.

    You may have to place the phone in DFU mode and restore to factory condition using iTunes. Search the web for the procedure.

  • Iphone 4 stuck at black screen

    i use an iphone 4 and i have had to restore my phone like 3 different times because it goes off and refuses to come on. now it first was stuck at the apple logo now it is stuck at the black screen with light illuminating behind it. pls i need help. any suggestions...

    If you have an Apple Store or AT&T/Verizon store near you, that is probably the fastest way to get some assistance.  You could have a rare situation where the phone just died.  You can also call Apple Support.
    When you plug it into your computer, does iTunes see it?  If so, maybe you can do a restore.
    Otherwise, the only thing I can think of (other than visiting a store) is to try plugging it back into the charger for a bit on the off chance it's an issue with your battery.
    Sorry you're having problems.  Good luck.

  • Iphone 3gs stuck in black screen after restoring to new os

    Hi
    I had my 3gs running at 4.2.1 and I wanted to update my os recently.. since my itunes is kinda old it was able to get 4.3.5 after updating and restoring the
    phone goes back to the DFU mode(just black screen). But Itunes detects it that it is in recovery mode and to restored.. tried a hundred times and failed
    Please help

    Is there a SIM in the device?  A SIM is required for activation.
    The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken.  If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

  • Iphone 4 stuck on black screen, won't turn off

    After starting up a game today my phone just switched to a dark blue/black screen and it refuses to do literally anything...I have tried to put it in dfu/recovery mode but nothing works. I even held down the power and home button down for like a minute and nothing changed...The screen is completely black but you can see that the phone is still on and it doesn't show anything on the screen not even the apple logo

    A lot of times...I've tried it both connected to the pc and not connected but it doesn't matter because nothing seems to work
    Very strange issue. I saw the video on youtube as you posted. Wait until the phone is out of battery. May be when the phone will finally turn off when the battery runs out, and then you can turn it back on or reboot it. I'm out of other suggestions. Or else I suggest that you deliver you phone for repair if you still got a warranty. Knock on the wood, I hope you already have a backup from it.

  • IPhone 4 has a black screen but the backlight lights up

    So my friend was holding onto my phone for me and he dropped it. Now the screen is black, but the backlight will light up when you hit the unlock button, the home button or receive an alert. The sound works perfectly fine, and voice control works when trying to call someone, but i wont be able to hang up. also when plugging it into an idock and pressing play on the dock it will work. I took the phone apart and put it back together to make sure everything was hooked up right, but it still wont work. anyone know what could be wrong possibly? i dont want to spend money on a new screen if i dont have to. Thank you!

        Hi JKainer193,
    Broken phones are no good. It's important to have a properly working phone at all times. I see that you have performed some great troubleshooting. I want to help. Did you have insurance on the line http://bit.ly/xB4iTc ? Typically, when the screen has gone black, and powercycling the phone doest not work, then the device would need to be replaced. Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

  • IPhone 4s stuck in lock screen with broken power button

    Okay so my power button was jammed 9-10 months ago for unexplained reasons and I've been using the assistive touch since then. My phone will be two in early September so it's fairly old.
    My phone is in the lock screen and all I can do is use the assistive touch to make a phone call. I can even hang up but I can't slide to power off or open a text. Is there any way I can fix this?
    My phone was just updated to iOS 7.1.2 a few hours ago if that makes any difference in what's wrong.

    How about getting the phone's switch repaired?

  • How do I restore the websites in a New Tab? All that I have is a black screen with the Edit button.

    I go to a website that I want to save with others in the New Tab and right click add to top sites. Nothing happens. The New Tab was very helpful in going to sites that I don't include in the bookmark toolbar.
    In the New Tab screen I used to have about 15 images of websites that I could click on one to go to that site. I could easily add to, delete, or re-arrange the images.

    hello, have you used an extension to get this behaviour in the past? firefox has introduced its own new tab page with 9 of the most visited pages (they are customizable though). maybe this is interfering with the addon. please refer to the following article in order to use the new feature in firefox: [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]
    or in case you want to continue using your existing addon please consult its website or developer in order to configure it correctly to replace the inbuilt new tab page....

  • My iphone 5 is stuck on a screen displaying the itunes symbol and a charging cable. I tried connecting it to itunes and it won't recognize it or anything. what can i do?

    my iphone 5 is stuck on a screen displaying the itunes symbol and a charging cable. I tried connecting it to itunes and it won't recognize it or anything. what can i do?

    Turn it off by holding home+ power button untill the screen goes black ( as soon as it goes black, release the buttons).. This might take some practice , so dont worry if on the first try your phone reboots and goes to itunes screen again.
    Now, with your phone powered off, enter DFU mode:
    Method 1)
    Attach the phone to the pc
    Turn the phone off
    Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
    Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
    Whilist in dfu mode, itunes will recognize the device and it will ask you if you wish to restore it. Simply click restore, and the restoring proces will begin.
    This will hopefully fix your iphone.
    Cheers
