My notification screen is permanently black.

My iphone4s Parallax effect is on but my Control Centre is a flat grey whereas it should share the same colour scheme as my home screen. Regardless of what colour my home screen is (pink, green, blue etc), the control centre is a non-see-through flat grey colour. And my notification screen is permanently black.
Please help, thank you

Screen is permanently black on my iMac 2011, need help

Hi guys, I have an iMac 2011 21" and it works really great, I have bootcamped it for some games which also works great. But today I when I was rebooting to Windows after I had updated the Mac a problem occured. As the computer shut down in Mac mode the screen went black as normally, and it began starting in Windows mode, the startup sound came as normal but the screen stayed black. I waited for a few mins and it remained black. I restarted it and the startup sound came as usual but again, no lights. The computer was pretty hot when i felt it also, could that be a cause? I tried removing the loadcable completely for like 10 mins and started it again, same problem. I also can't see anything on the screen if i have light from a flashlight, I tested the Alt + CMD + P + R combo and it didn't work. Tested to put the Mac disc in and press C at startup, didn't work.
And also, the computer is working, because I can hear sounds (lower and higher the volume) and i pressed some keys and then Enter, and the "failure" sound came. Also, I'm not 100 % sure if the computer is in Windows or Mac at the moment, even though it was going to boot in Windows, it feels like it's in Mac, because there were no Windows sounds.
Please help me, thanks in advance!

Try booting up in Safe Mode , it will take longer than normal but does stuff during that time. If it isn't on in a couple of minutes we have a problem. If safe mode doesn't help try this reset:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
If that doesn't help you may be experiencing a video failure.

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using. Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't. It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years! Please help!

When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

My Mac pro is in off mode permanently: black screen, no light (not even the cable), not sound...just dead! I bought it 3 months ago and this is disappointing. Any advice?

Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Otherwise as the other folks indicated, its time for diagnostics / service. Make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.

Droid 3. Deleted app now screen is all black

I deleted go launcher ex now my screen is all black. i can see notification bar but cannot go into anything.what can i do?

The reboot, or reset as you tried, will sometimes bring the screen back but not always. If holding both the power and home buttons does not result in the apple logo appearing in about a minute, the device needs to be taken to the Apple store genius bar to have the technicians test and see if there is a failure in the screen/digitizer.

Macbook pro screen flickering brightness/black screen?

on saturday night I was using my MacBook pro and drinking water when my friend made me laugh so I accidentally spit like 5 drops of water onto my macbook screen. the drops leaking down into the base, not exactly the keyboard but just right under the screen where it would drip down. a instantly got a towel and dried it off but the macbooks screen statted flickering off and on. then it went permanently black but it seemed like it was still on. I tried to hold down the power button and it would make all the on and off noises just the screen wouldn't work. it would maybe flash for a second but then just go dark. I made the mistake of not turning it completely off when it first happened because I didn't know what to do but after maybe 10 minutes I turned it off and opened it up and kept it upside down the whole night to let the water come out if there was any. the next day around 12pm I turned it on and everything was working completely fine. no problems or signs that eer spit the water. then the next day (Monday) half way thru the day I was watching Netflix and I noticed every 5 minutes or so the screen would dim no matter what brightness I had it on and after a couple seconds it would go back to regular brightness. after like an hour it started doing that more frequently and it gave a black screen until I moved the cursor. I paniced and shut it off for the rest of day thinking it would be better the next day. well the next day (today) I turned it on and it was even worse. it's almost like the screen is having spaz attacks every 2 minutes. it'll go dim or bright randomly and then go black until I move the cursor and when it gowa dim there's these weird bright lights things coming from the bottom of the screen. but other then that the macbook works completely fine. iit's still usable, and the screen spasms are annoying but I could live with them. but first I want to make sure it's not going to get worse and worse everyday and just permantly die soon. im only 15 and Ive been dreading telling my parents what happened but if i have to replace something I have to tell them. I've tried researching what I have to replace but no one has my exact symptoms. I think I'd either have to replace the Lcd (whatever that is??) or the inverter. someone please help, thank you!!

Notification screen won't pull down

Ever since updating to iOS 8 my phone (5S) will randomly stop showing the notification screen when I attempt to pull it down. Shutting my phone down and turning it back on fixes the problem. I'd estimate this happens a couple of times a week on average. Very irritating. Is this a known issue? Does anyone know if there's a better fix than rebooting your phone?

Hi Rjay Hansen1,
I see that you have an issue with your notification center in your iPhone. It seems like you have already tried a few troubleshooting steps and have determined that the issue can be temporarily resolved by restarting your iOS device. Since this only solves the issue for a short while, I would like to suggest that you take the troubleshooting a little further and reset your iOS device to see if that resolves the issue permanently. Here is an article that explains how to do this:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559
If this does not resolve the issue permanently, you may need to restore your iOS device as a further troubleshooting step:

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. Tried it 10 times with the same result. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

Hey Thermali,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
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 LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 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.
