My iphone screen turned black

I did a factory restore, held down power and siri button at same time , nothing. I have it plugged into i tunes, it is making a bing noise, the screen now is black around the edges, with a white center, siri is not working. PLEASE, help.
Thank you.

update: unplugged unresponsive Iphone 4 from wall. Held HOME and POWER keys until apple showed. When apple disappeared, let them both go. Waited 5 minutes for it to restart itself. It did not. I powered it on the traditional way, not plugged in to anything. Appears to be back to normal. Now charging via my MBP.
There's no way this is the end of it, though. My tech hunches are as good as a detective's nose for finding a perp. This will not end well. Here's the best thing, which I intend to present to Apple the next time I'm an hour away from home getting hustled in their store:
The attached image is a screenshot taken from my MBP in the parking lot of the mall where the Apple store is located. Immediately after they gave me a "BRAND NEW" Iphone 4, I went to my car, cabled it up to my MBP, and began the restore process. Here's what popped up. Yeah, if this phone given to me was brand new Grizzly Adams had a beard.

IPhone screen turned black!

I was using my iPhone today and suddenly the screen turned its color in dark blue and after few miniutes it just turned off i plugged it in for charging but my phone became **** hot i tried pressing the lock button and home button together, it didnt work.

Like more then 1 year ago.

My iPhone screen turned black with blue stripes then went to the logo screen and then turned black. (iPhone 5) help!

My lock button has not been working for a few months. I dropped it a couple of days ago but it barely did it a while ago. I was texting when the screen developed blue/purple lines with a black background and then it went to the apple logo. So I thought it would just restart but then it turned black and won't respond to me trying to work it blindly (guessing where the icons are)... Should I just let it die and hope for the best? Any advice? Help.

Most likely a damaged LCD display. Probably will not fall under warranty . Apple can do an out of warranty repair for 199 on a 4S. You could look into insurance options as well through your carrier.

Why is my iphone screen turning black with the apple symbol?

My iPhone 3GS has been randomly blacking out to the screen with the apple symbol or just a blank white screen and will remain frozen like that. I have reset it pressing the home and power button but most times the screen returns to the apple symbol and the phone does not load. A few times the screen has just been showing random html code when I reset it. Sometimes it gets back to my log-in screen but then kicks me back out.

Is your phone by chance jailbroken? If not then you may have to make a genius appointment and have them check it out. Also try restoring the phone as a new phone and see if that fixes the problem.

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

Did you try restarting it by holding down the hold and lock button at the same time until you get the apple logo? If you already tried that then you should try putting it in DFU mode and doing a restore by following these instructions- http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034

My IPhone 5s screen turned black. I got it to turn on by holding the power and home button. I want to know why this happened to my phone?

My IPhone 5s screen turned black. I got it to turn on by holding the power and home button. I want to know why this happened to my phone or how I can find out why it happened?

Restore your phone!!!
You may be wondering by now, iTunes is not detecting my phone, How do I do that?
Answer:- Just disconnect your phone from the computer. keep Itunes open on the PC. While holding the home button of the iphone plug the phone back in. Itunes will pop a message stating it has detected a phone in recovery mode. just follow the on screen instruction then to restore your phone. If your issue is still not resolved only an Apple technician can help you

The screen on my iPhone 6 turns black when on a call

The screen on my iPhone 6 turns black when I am on a call (and then I cannot end the call)

My iPhone 5s did the same and my company sent me a new one. That one had the same problem. I am now being told by my company that it is an app that I have loaded that is not compatible with the IOS update. They sent me an iPhone6 and advised me to only add my apps one at a time to see which one is causing the problem. Verizon, I was told, has been working on the problem as well. Don't know if all this is true but sounded right to me.

IPhone Screen Turns of Randomly

Sometimes when I am in the middle of something the iPhone screen turns off by it self, when I press the power button to turn it back on, the screen flashes a black screen and I have to lock and unlock it again.
If anyone has an idea why please help. Thank You.
Info may help:
My iPhone is unlocked with SimFree
I have the 1.0.2 Version running
I have 2 Native Apps (Apollo and Navizon)

To expand on this a bit:
We really can't help you because your phone and my phone are not the same. The process of unlocking the piece could have altered parts of the OS in ways neither of use could know.
Since we do not have a common frame of reference, its is not possible for us to assist in your dilemma.

6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi VeerleD,
If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
Specifically -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
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.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
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.
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.
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.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Why does my screen turns black and I have to reset the phone to make it work?

My phone is fully charged when suddenly the screen turns black it doesnt matter if I push the buttons the screen still is black, I have to reset the phone to make it work. When the screen is black and if you call you can hear is ringing but my phone does not sound.
I had a bad experience with this phone, to tell you the truth I dont even want it anymore, I have other apple products and they are excellent and had worked fine but the iphone is a dissapointment to me.

Go to an Apple store.

Iphone screen is black

what to do when Iphone screen went black, but the messages alerts are still coming through?

Hello Asia95,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
From what you describe it sounds like the phone is still on, and functioning except the screen is black so you cant see anything.
I would recommened these steps from the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802.
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.
All the very best,
Sterling
