My ipod touch gen 4 screen has suddenly gone black

My ipod touch gen 4 screen has suddenly gone black, i tried resetting it and the white apple symbol suddenly appears then goes black again, restoring it to factory setting and updating it but it hasnt changed any assistance would be greatly appecited

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

My screen has suddenly gone black and doesnt respond to anything

Hi all,
Last night my screen suddenly went black, however the phone is still on as it vibrates when I ring it.
Ive tried the master reset but it wont actually turn off. Ive also restored the OS and its still faulty.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions,
did you restore "as new iphone", without using the backup to restore from afterwards?
Also try this, mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
1 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.
2 Turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
3 While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPhone until it is fully charged.

Hi, vernon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you may have enabled the Zoom feature. Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

My iPhone 5 has suddenly gone black and I cannot see anything on it but the phone rings when someone calls and can pick the call, but cannot view anything

My phone has suddenly gone blank, total black screen can't even dial any contacts but the phone does ring

Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for up to 1 minute, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

My ipod nano 7th gen has suddenly gone black and it wont turn on or connect to a power source.

I was listening to my ipod nano 7th gen when it went black and the music stopped playing. It wont turn on when i press the power button and when i connect it up to charge the screen doesn't turn on. Can anyone tell me how to turn it on again or give me suggestions.
Much appriciated,
MissC@t

Hey MissC@t,
Although the following article says 6th generation, most of the troubleshooting steps should still apply to your 7th generation nano. I'd go through the troubleshooting steps and see if that resolves the issue:

My screen has suddenly gone dim. The lightness control is set to the highest level but the screen is still very dim. Any help?

I thought it might be the power saver or something but all is as it should be as far as I can tell. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I found the solution from another users question and response.

My YouTube account has suddenly gone 'black'. Videos won't play.

Have only just had this problem. Am staying with my daughter. I am 83 so if you have a suggestion please take this into account!! Thank you.

You're welcome
Yes, a reset is always the first thing to try if you experience some glitches after installing new software or apps or if some apps are getting stuck.
Another way would be double clicking the home button, to bring up the taskbar, tap on one of the listed apps until they start to shake, then hit the little cross in the corner of the icon, to close the app completely. Tap the home button to stop the motion and to close the taskbar again.
This would be a thing to try before you reset the device, it is faster and you can only address the one app causing you problems.

My iPhone 4s has suddenly gone to a black screen!!

my iPhone 4s has suddenly gone to a black screen and so i connected it to iTunes to restore it. the error message; the iPhone could not be restored. this device isn't eligible for the requested build. what do i do????

Charge using the AC adaptor for at least 30 minutes, and if not on repeat the reset.
If still not responding, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.
