My screen is black because it fell on the floor

my phone works fine but my screen is black i can not see or do anything, but people can still call how can i solve this problem. Also i was in the middle of downloading the new update

The whole screen is black? How far did it fall from? And you could try resetting the phone by holding down the power and home buttons until the Apple logo hopefully appears but I think you may have to head into an Apple store and get them to take a look at it, it sounds like a hardware problem.

  • Macbook pro over 5 years old phoned up because it fell onto the floor and mad a big bang looked at screen it was cracked and battery looked liked it had exploded i explaind what had happend and was told that it was normal how dangerouse is that no warning

    mac book pro 17 over £2000 when new in the middle of the night i heard a loud noise found out that my laptop was on the floor looked and seen screen was craked and that what looked to me the battery had exploded coursing it to fall on to the floor the was nor warning and have had no recal letters from apple warning me that this may happen . so i phoned up apple and was speacking to some one i have thare name but wont say explaind what had happend an he said that it was normal to my shock as if it landed on any one or poss a pet as it was random .he said it was normal more than once and also i was on speaker phone and had some one else listening .i asked for him to send me what he had said via email but he said he could not so he put me through to some one called katalin who said to ignore what he had said . but at this stage i had two isues one that my expensive laptop is damaged .and the second it thta thay admited liyability by saying it was normal
    after many emails and phone calls i think there best offer was if i spend about 184 pound thay would give me a £54 discount which as i have just spent over £2200 on new macbook pro was a bit on an insult
    i do under stand that batterys do charge but as i had no warning especial if this was going to happen
    if as thay said this is normal as it was bourght from apple direct should thay have sent a letter or email as thay would have had my details warning me that this can randomly happen as in my case .
    the battery in my opinion has exploded ref defonition and .
    my consern is that this could have been alot worse and no warning even thay admited that it is normal
    .that sent me a letter basicly say all about my waranty .but how can this be so defently a safty isue regarding my case
    i cant just buy new battery because screen craked and dont no any other things wron ref fall fery disapointed with apple but i do not have the money or time to take any further .i and my familey have many apple products and were due for upgrading but hard to think are thay save.as iphones /apads/macbook /macbookpro/and other products very disapointed .dont think i would have been treated this way by dell

    u can give try to using external enclosre and backup ur files. I hope u will get files back. or using external enclosre with ur hdd boot into Linux and try to mount ur harddisk.
    there are multiple no of tutorial to mount apple partion in Linux.

  • My Iphone 4 (4 year old) fell on the floor and now the screen is black

    My iphone fell on the floor today and the screen went black. it vibrates when charged but thats the only sign of life it shows, i was wondering if i took it to the apple store would it get fixed or replaced for free or will there be a charge?

  • My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
    Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
    A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.

  • Hi, I was using my iPod Touch and then all of a sudden, the screen went black. So I held the the on and menu button to reboot it and so it shut of and came back on and been on the loading screen for an hour. What can I do to fix it?

    Hi, I was using my iPod Touch and then all of a sudden, the screen went black. So I held the on/off button and menu button to reboot it. So it turned off then back on but it has been stuck on the loading page for an hour. What's wrong with it?

    - Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try here:

    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If it hasn't appeared after 30 seconds your phone is probably broken. If something other than an Apple logo appears see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • My iPad dosen't open, my screen is black even if I use the open/close buttun??what can I do

    My iPad won't open, my screen is black even if I use the open/close reset botton???

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset (not sure whether this is what you meant by a reset) ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

    Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
    This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
    And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
    I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • The screen is black until it gets to the logon screen,

    My sister has an Aluminium Macbook 2.0GHZ with 4GB RAM and when she turns the mac on the screen is black until it gets to the logon screen, there is no apple on the grey background with the whirling circle below it.  Once the login screen is reached the screen is perfect with no issues.
    Has anyone any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

    If not successful:
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    My iPhone 5 just fell on the floor from a water tumbler. The height mayb like 2 -3 feet. i'm just curious to know if i have to worry about any kind of internal damage. It had a moshi cover on when it fell but it fell on the side of the screen so just worried about the microphone or the front camera. Someone please reply if i should go to Apple and give the phone for a hardware check.

    The only choice you have is accept it as it is or pay for a replacement
    Any user damage is not covered by the warranty but at any time if you have problems in the future you can obtain an out of warranty exchange unit for $229 in US
    I would forget it for now ,just not drop it again

  • My screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do.

    my screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do. i have tried to restart and i still doesnt work

    I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through the fix yesterday...
    1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
    2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
    3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
    4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
    5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
    Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
    Hope this helps!

    When I open my internet and got to say the Macy's website and try to bring up all pages in the handbags dept, the screen goes black and it returns to the screen that has all my icons on it. Why?

    Safari is crashing.
    Try a reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

    From the link at the bottom of my post:
    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors

    I would do what the article and if unsuccessful make an appointment at the Genius bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.
