My power screen works then it fades to black and tries to restart

Today my phone got dropped in a puddle by a friend and when I got it back I dried it off it was working fine, then about an hour later my phone shut off and when it tried to turn on, it had the screen right and then the screen faded out and it tried to turn on again. So i turned it off by holding down the power and home button for 10 seconds and put it in a bag of rice. However it has been in the rice for hours and still does it but it doesnt fade as fast or dramatically. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how long do i need to leave it in the rice?

The conventional wisdom for the rice bag is 5 to 7 days
That said - if you get it working at all - I would back it up to iTunes and then bring it to an Apple store - it is not a question of IF it will fail but WHEN

I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

My laptop turns on, reaches the desktop and then suddenly fades to black as if it was put to sleep but never comes back to life until I turn it off and on again.

Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the off slider that appears first, then release.

My imac screen works fine but it keeps flikering and freezing whats wrong with it

my imac screen works fine but it keeps flikering and freezing whats wrong with it? theres no crack or problem with it it just freeze's ande flikers

It sounds as if your graphics chip (on the logic board) is failing. The other answer could be that your screen is not well, but I lean more towards the graphics chip. If you have Apple care or are still under warranty, call Apple.

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a projector, which has a VGA cable. I bought a VGA to HDMI adapter, but whenever I hook it up, the screen on my macbook just goes black and I can't make it do anything else or even show up on the projector.

My laptop is still on; it just has a black screen that I can't get rid of without shutting down the computer by holding the power button.

Hey there lynmrigg,
It sounds like have an HDMI to VGA adapter connecting your MacBook Pro and your projector but the screen on your computer goes black and no image appears on the projector. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve or isolate the issue here, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

IPad Mini fades to black and displays the silver apple logo?

iPad mini all of a sudden fades to black and displays the silver Apple logo. It resets itself, but continues to do this after I open it back up.

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't help - you should try restoring the iOS software. You want to backup the iPad first, restore to factory settings, restore the backup and then sync with iTunes in order to sync your apps, photos, movies, TV Shows, books, etc., back onto the device.

I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter. You can try the following:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
