My phone screen won't light up! Help

My phone was working fine one day. The next day it wouldn't light up when I tried to use it. It hasn't dropped in water and had no hard fall. I can't get any info out of it like this to even transfer to another phone. I tried pulling the battery already - didn't work. What can I do?

Hi Debratheteacher,
Oh no! I know how important it is to have a working phone. Have you tried using another battery? Also, try connecting the phone to another wall charger. If you have tried all these steps and your phone still doesn't power on, we might have to replace it. Let us know what the result are of the additional troubleshooting steps.

Screen won't light on an iphone 3. Phone works and if I look real closely in just the right light, I can read the dark screen. Any idea where to go to have this fixed and how much it might cost?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

HT1414 When updating my iphone with new software it came up on screen with the cable and itunes sign (which is what I should get when restoration has been completed) yet it is still saying restore. I have tried 3 times and the screen won't change. HELP!

When updating my iphone with new software it came up on screen with the cable and itunes sign (which is what I should get when restoration has been completed) yet it is still saying restore. I have tried 3 times and the screen won't change. HELP!

If the sign does not go away it has not completed the restore. So you are incorrect when you say it "keeps completing the restore" if that message is still displayed.
Do you get an error message? If so, what is the error number?

Screen won't light up when I get a text?

So today I updated my Galaxy S5 to Lollipop.
Before I got this update, my phone would always light up and display a notification when I got a text message. But now after the update, it no longer does this.
It's frustrating, because since I'm at school, I always keep my phone on silent. But now I can't see my phone screen light up when I get a text. Is there anyway that I can make it light up again?

jenga11, you have a great device! I want to make sure that it is running like it should after the update. Are you using the default text message application that came on the phone or is it a 3rd party application from the Google Play Store? Please keep us posted.

My phone screen won't unlock at all, please help.....

I have no idea what has happened to my phone but the screen isn't responding. I cant scroll to unlock, I cant take photos, take calls or even switch my phone off. I havent dropped it, I havent spilt anything on it and I havent even scratched the surface as it has a protector on it. One minute it was working as I was taking photos and the next it just wouldnt respond to me. Please can someone tell me how to fix my phone as I need it to work as soon as possible!
Please help

I am having this problem too. I am blaming the newest software update because my phone was fine before this. It is extremely fustrating when you cant answer calls or texts. I have restored my phone to no avail

My iPhone4s is on but screen won't turn on help!!

I don't know what happened but it just suddenly won't turn on. The phone was never turned off. I can hear all my notifications but I can't do anything with the phone! I tryied resetting it but holding the off button and the circle button and that still doesn't work! Can anybody help me?!

Not sure what is going on but if you're hearing the alerts then it would indicate some sort of failure with the screen. I assume if the screen has failed it wouldn't matter how much you try to power it off you wouldn't be able to do so because you can't see the red slider to power it off. Have you tried plugging it up to your computer and restoring it through iTunes? I'm not sure if it would (especially if ultimately the issue is purely a screen failure) but it's something you can try. If there is an Apple store near you then you might want to stop by and let them have a look. Assuming your phone hasn't been damaged then it should still be under the manufacturer's warranty...so if it is a screen failure it should be replaced or fixed under warranty.

Need Help - ipod video in trouble - white screen won't go away - help??

White Scree appears and won't go away. Can someone help?

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.
See: iPod service request.

TS3274 My iPad screen won't work, please help!

My iPad comes up with a black screen but when I press the lock button twice a blue screen appears with a faint outline of my wallpaper/time/notifications. I have tried resetting it and turning it on and off but nothing seems to be working. I'm travelling overseas next week and I really need my iPad PLEASE HELP!!!!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Blackberry screen won't work, please help!!!

I turned my blackberry on yesterday, the usual blackberry loading bar came on then when it came up with my home screen it didn't do the usual "verifying software" thing and instead it just came up straight way with a notification saying "application terminated: share_impl_snake had been denied the cross application communication" I know this notification is for a game I downloaded ages ago but revoked it from accessing my device. Anyway when I went to press okay it wouldnt do anything. The buttons are all working fine though because they work when I press them to stop the screen from going dim. But thats all they will do. I have tried EVERYTHING, please help, I can't use my blackberry at all!

The screen won't light up

I went to reset my ipod (after freezing) for a couple of times. And no matter what I do (even while fiddling with the backlight settings, brightness etc) and nothing works. It's very dim, though you can see its text whilst under light source.
Thank you for your help!

Hello naimorc,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
As you probably already know, it is most likely a hardware issue. You can opt to have Apple replace it if still under warranty, have it serviced by a third party repair company, or you can opt to fix it yourself.
Not much else you can do at this point. Sorry.
