NX: Makes picture taking sound, but photo screen is completely black.

I've got awesome lighting in this room. And even if that wasn't true, I literally took a picture of the light, and it was still completely black. I mean.. It makes the picture taking sound, but the square the remains black. What in the world.. The light is constant green on the webcam. It's plugged in correctly, or so as far as know. I'm usually good with computer things.. But I think I'm going to take the dumb 6 year old blonde excuse for this one. Any ideas..

I have the same problem with NX Pro. After finallygetting it to work with my ancient Pentium 2, all programs (Creative software that came with the camera and also other 3rd party software, such as Watcher). All of the programs only show only complete black. I tried the camera on another machine and it worked just fine so it's a computer issue.
I've updated video card drivers, ann Windows 2000 updates from MS (currently have SP4). What I found out was that if the camera was plugged into the other USB port of my computer, Windows would crash to BSOD when starting any of the camera software. When moving it to another port, I no longer get crashes, but this annoying black screen. Could it be related to USB?

I went to use my iPhone 5 (I had used it just minutes before) and it wouldn't work. It was about half charged and seems to have shut itself off. I tried charging it and turning it on but the screen remains completely black. What happened?

Try resetting. Hold the sleep wake button (on the top edge), and the home button (round button on the front with the white square) at the same time for 10-15 seconds. If you see the apple logo, let go. Your phone should restart. If not?

My iphone 4s works, but the screen is completely black... does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi i woke up three days ago to my iphone 4s not working, assuming it had no charge i plugged it in and fully charged the battery.
when i returned the screen was still black, but the phone was functioning (ringing and accepting text messages etc)...
The screen has been blank since and have tried things like restoring and hard resets, but this has not worked. a very very vague image appears when in use but it is almost impossible to see.
Can anybody suggest a way to maybe fix this issue if it is possible?
If it is not possible would i be entitled to a replacement or free repairs as I have had the phone less than 1 year and should still qualify for the warranty?
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. It sounds like the backlight has failed.
If it's under warranty, there will be no charge so long as the phone isn't physically damaged.

Make a PRAM reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Also, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display

IMac is on but screen is completely black

My iMac is on, but the screen is completely Black. I cant see anything. What can I do?

Press the power switch until the machine turns off. Feel the back of the case. If it is hot, unplug it and let it cool. If it is already off and not hot, unplug it for 15 seconds and then turn it on and see if it boots. Then check out this page... http://9to5mac.com/2013/08/16/apple-opens-graphics-card-replacement-program-for- some-mid-2011-imacs/ I just started having a problem with my machine. Your problem sounds similar. For now I am running smcFanControl (you can google that) to ramp up my fans and I have made an appointment with my Genius Bar to have my machine looked at.

Can apple fix my broken ipodtouch 4g if you can hear the sound but the screen doesnt show

can apple fix my broken ipodtouch 4g if you can hear the sound but the screen doesnt show

They will not fix it. What they do is replace rather then fix.
After Apple has examined it, they will determine if it is covered by warranty or not. If it is not, you will have to pay for the replacement.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Laptop screen goes completely black but shows that it's still on

Hello everyone, i'm in need of serious help!
I bought this laptop over 2 years ago (October of 2008 to be somewhat exact). It's a Windows Vista Home Premium, with service pack 2.
its an HP pavilion dv7 notebook pc
processor: AMD Turion (tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-70 2.00 GHz
Ram: 4GB
system type: 64-bit operating system
im assuming the video card information are as follow:
name: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
chip type: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics (0x9612)
DAC type: Internal DAC (400MHz)
total memory: 1914MB
memory: 3836MB RAM
page file: 2163MB used, 5732MB available
current display is 1440 x 900 (32 bit)(60Hz)
directx version: directx 11
with that being said... here's my dilemma...
Each time i play the video game, "World of warcraft", my laptop's screen goes completely black but it shows as if though it is still on. I can't see the screen but it shows that it is still on by the little lights on the bottom of the screen.
I took my laptop to a family friend who knows a lot about computers to see if they can fix it for me. They told me that everything was running fine, everything is okay, the ram, memory, graphic card, everything passed the test, and it was not over heating... there was nothing wrong with my laptop. They THOUGHT it could be the motherboard, so they tried it, but in the end, it wasn't. Unfortunately the problem was not solved.
I played World of warcraft on this laptop before. When i first bought it. It ran smoothly and gave me no problem whatsoever. I'm clueless is to though why it's giving me problems NOW.
Could anyone please please pleaseeeee help me? i have given up already. I have done everything i could. Please help me! i believe i have done a total one 1 or 2 system restore to factory settings, the 2nd one was recently (probably a month ago) and i'm not sure if maybe perhaps i needed to DL something else? i have DL all the updates that microsoft offered to me when needed and when it was necessary, but this particularly problem was never fixed.
someone please help me! Thank you so much!

erichon99,
I think i may have found MY solution but i have yet to test it out... No one helped me. No one at all. I took my PC to a family friend company and they did everything for me: ran tests to see if my laptop is up to date with everything, removed graphic card and put a better one and nothing still. They thought it was my mother board but they ran tests again and everything on my laptop past the test. My graphic card was fine, ram was perfect, memory was perfect, everything everything on my laptop was perfect. They couldn't find out what was the problem. I took it to best buy and not even them could help me. When i was about to give up, my fiance, he did some research and found this guy on youtube who does LIVE recordings and answers people's questions. My fiance asked the question and he got serveral responses. Out of 10, i would say about 2 or 3 of them mentioned, "it's the power cord" the rest said it might be virus, or a card is not working properly, etc. You can give it a shot (buying a new power cord) those who told my fiance that it could be my power cord, said to get those power cord that has a fan in them.
I think this makes sense because my screen goes black only when i'm playing a game. even when i play cityville on facebook it goes that black screen, but it doesn't go black, it does that pixelated, rainbow, warning bar, thingy (i hope you know what i mean lol) and when i touch my power cord to my laptop it is BURNING hot. What i do is, when my battery is fully charge, i disconnect and play my game, and to not lose any docs i left open, i close my games, and plug back in. I've been lazy to find another power cord lol i guess i should start now, huh? lol
i hope this help. I would say (if you've done everything like how i did) buy a power cord that matches your laptop, but with a FAN in it (i was told it's the best and you'll never have that problem of freezing or whatever)

Restore the device to factory settings and add your content, then try again.
If no change, then something maybe wrong with the iSight camera at the front, so make an appointment with someone at the Genius bare at your local Apple retail store.
