  • My iPhone screen went black and won't turn back on.

    Yesterday, my iPhone 4S screen went black and won't turn back on. So I tried just letting charge but after an hour nothing happened, so then I switched out the chargers and made sure the outlet I was using worked. But it still was black. Then I did a little research and I tried to put it into DFU mode but my power button has been broken for a few months now, so that didn;t work either. Then I tried restoring it, but my computer didn't recognize it!!! So then over night I let it rest with no power source connected to it. This morning I plugged it back into a power source and it showed the charging icon. I'm pretty that means it's still running, but I'm not an expert. PLEASE HELP!

    If you have got a different USB Sync cable try to charge your iPhone with that as there are possibilities that your current USB cable or Power Adapter is not Charging your iPhone. If it still doesn't work make an appointment to Nearest Apple Genius Bar

  • Screen went black and won't wake up

    While using my Powerbook G4, the screen went black. I can see that the power's still on- the light on the screen release button is illuminated. But I have no display and cannot wake it up from sleep. Please help!

    Try press+hold the power button and see if it shuts completely off, then try booting normally. If that doesn't work, you may have to remove all power (adapter+battery) to kill it, then try restarting normally.

  • My macbook pro screen went black and won't display back to the normal screen. When I turn it on I can hear the computer starting up and the keyboard light turn on but the screen stays black. What can I do? Help please!

    Please help! I can't get my screen to turn back on. It just stays black when I turn it on. Is there anything I can do to reboot it or am I just out of luck
    Thanks!

    Did you buy the Applecare extended warranty? If not then you will need to pay for whatever repairs need to be done.
    You will need to take the system to an Apple store Genius Bar for a check up.

  • My iphone 4 screen went black and won't turn on

    My iphone 4 today mysteriously won't turn on, I tried charging it and it won't even charge. I was using it a few hours before hand it was fine with 100% battery and I haven't put it in any water so I am confused as to why this has happened. Can someone please tell me what to do and why has this happened?

    I had the same for the second time today... no way to turn it on !! it was 63% loaded and on my desktop without activity (on the iphone ;- ).
    tha only way to turn it on is to unscrew the two scren at the bottom, remove the back cover then unscrew a screw on the bottom left, close to the black battery, then you unplug the plug, wait a few second, plug it agin and screw.
    Then turn it on ! it works twice ... then your iphone will first set as 1st of january ... but later recover everything date, time ... then i had a prompt with "imap.gmail.com" not recognised (written in french, i am french !), then i had a "dataaccessd" screen asking to accept the Equifax Secure Certificate Authority as non thrusted ... don't know what it is but asnwer YES and ACCEPT then iphone is fully operational ... until next crash !

  • My iphone 5 screen went black and the only thing that works is siri!

    I was in the middle of opening up pintrest when my phone screen went black and won't turn back on. The only thing that works is siri... My lock button also doesn't work so I can't manually restart my phone. When I try to restore my phone i have to turn off find my phone but i cant because the screen is black.. Please please please help! I'm a poor college student who cannot afford a new phone

    Well, you can't perform a reset then. What happens when you plug the phone into a power source? If nothing, then you'll have to make an appointment at any Apple store. The genius bar will offer you an out of warranty replacement. Cost is US $269.

  • HT4623 I installed ios7 on my iPad 2 yesterday, this morning it wouldn't open the weather channel app. I thought maybe I should power it down. When I held down on the power button the screen went black and now it won't do anything. What do I do now?

    Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

  • I have an iMac running Lion and W7 with boot camp . It has been operating flawlessly until I went to reboot into Mac tonight. Screen went black, and system is unresponsive. I've tried force quitting and turning power off. Hard drive starts but that's it..

    I have a 5 month old  iMac running Lion and W7 with the latest version of boot camp . It has been operating flawlessly until I went to reboot into Mac tonight. Screen went black, and system is unresponsive. I've tried force quitting and turning power off. Hard drive starts, there's a small amount of drive activity and that's it. 

    Hi Jane, your info may still be there, look in the Users folder at root of the drive, how many users are there there?
    It sounds like this may have happened...
    Return to default desktop, apparent "loss" of home directory, (it can happen spontaneously too)...

  • Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

    Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
    My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

    My phone started vibrating mutiple times last night and the screen went black, and then it stopped and now I dont have a clue what to do.  How should I fix this problem because I cant turn it back on? I have only had my phone for 2 months.

    I also live an hr away from the Apple store, so its not the best thing to go there just to ask a question and find out what to do

    You will probably have to contact Apple for repair but before you do try this:
    Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back.

  • What do I do if my iPhone 3GS just went black and won't turn back on or anything?

    it has the latest update and everything.
    i was snapchatting my friends, hit the home button and the whole phone went black and won't turn back on

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger and Reset, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds while on charger.
