Your battery is dead.
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).
If it doesn't boot--try using a wall outlet charger if you are not. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed, which you can download below.
Here are some good charging tips, please read and you'll see that many of them will apply to you.

Keynote on iPad goes to black screen then back to menu

I'm using a brand new iPad that has no other apps on it except for Keynote (and the default ones). I launch Keynote, it goes to a black screen for a few seconds then back to the iPad menu. I checked the App Store, and it said that it does not need updating.

When plugged into computer a song started skipping, pressed pause but ipod sounds makes a clicking sound. Eventually goes to black screen with red cross. Cannot reset it and doesn't register on my computer.

I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.

You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

Pavillion dv7 new hard drive goes to black screen with cursor

A couple weeks ago my computer suddenly started going realy slow so I rebooted, and it wouldnt boot. Just gave me an error in the upper left corner (I dont remember the exact message). Anyway I took it to a family fried who fixes computers he said the hard drive probably had a bad boot sector. We couldnt boot to it, but he could read from it by plugging it into his own computer like an external.
Anyway we got the new hard drive in (upgraded from 320g to 500g) as well as the old one with the intention of making it a slave drive. I tried putting in a windows 7 install disk (originally had vista), when I turn it on first I see the hp splash screen, then it says "windows is loading files" and goes to a "windows is starting" splash screen. After that its just a black screen with an arrow cursor and doesnt appear to be doing anything else.
Any idea what the problem might be? Is it just trying to install to the wrong drive? Or could something more serious be wrong like the processor or motherboard that would mean the whole thing is trash now?

Mid-2010 15in. MacBook Pro going to black screen requiring reset by holding power button

Hello all,
     I have been searching for a problem solution for quite some time now. I have a mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro (2.4GHz Intel I5; 4 GB mem) updated to version 10.7.5. The computer randomly goes to a black screen, while the program / movie / whatever is still running (I can hear the sound) and then stalls. I then have to hold the power button down until it will reset. I will post the error message at the end of this.
     I have wiped the computer clean and reinstalled everything and that did not help. I am no longer under Apple warrenty and hoping that someone has experienced. Short of me finding an answer I will take it in to Apple. Thanks in advance for any help!

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair. The model was discontinued in February 2011, so the replacement program will be ending quite soon.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Help! Laptop won't start up- startup repair goes to black screen!

Hi! Just wondering if anyone can help me with my toshiba laptop C650-152! I was online yesterday when my laptop froze and in the end i had to turn it off by cutting the power source! Today I have tried to turn it on and It keeps going to a black screen with white writing which asks if I want to Start it normally or do startup repair! If I press start normally it gets me to the windows start up screen (with the coloured logo) but then gets stuck there. If i press start up repair it goes to a black screen with a White mouse cursor and gets stuck there too! I can use a laptop just fine but am pretty clueless when it comes to technical matters so if anyone could help explain what I should do (in laymens terms) it would be much appreciated!! Thanks in advance for your help! Beth

To burn the disc from an ISO file, Beth, you may need a third-party utility depending on the version of Windows. I use the free BurnCDCC burning program from here.
TeraByte Unlimited Freeware
To use the disc do I just turn my laptop on..?
Something like this. Turn the computer on, load the disc, turn the computer off, start it again and then press F12 to get the boot-priority men, select the optical drive, follow the instructions (like choose a language and a Windows installation), and you're on your way to the Windows Recovery Environment.
Then will a menu appear so I can choose to do a system restore or do I have to search for it? Finally will doing a 'system restore' delete any of my saved data such as photos/music/uni work?
All that was answered at the link I already gave you.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
Click Show All. Under System Restore, click the links What is System Restore and System Restore: frequently asked questions. No data files are disturbed by System Restore.

White screen of death going temporarily black screen of death.

I have a iphone4s that went white-screen-of-death on me just last week. recently its now giving me a multi-coloured screen show, and a finale of black-screen-of-death. Not sure what to do, and whether its worth going to the apple store when I can't afford repairs, and its a year out of warranty. I can still answer calls, or access apps, etc, but can't see what I'm actually doing.

Ios7 Update Problems on iPad 3 - My iPad is not going to black screen after not being touched. Also, am I crazy; I can't find timing adjustment to go to black. Finally, iPad slow to switch between some catgagories in control panel

O.K. I found 3 issues on my iPad 3 after ios update:
1. iPad does not go to black after non-use
2. iPad is slow to switch between some catagories in control panel
3. Speaking of control panel; have I lost my mind? I can't find time adjustment responsible for iPad going to black.

Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Computer goes to black screen after splash screen (installed new graphics card)

I installed an EVGA Geforce GTX 750ti on my computer today, but when I boot it up, it goes and stays on the splash screen for about 45 seconds, then goes to a black screen, and stays there for an indefinite amount of time. Any ideas on how to make this work?
Computer model - Pavilion p7-1298cb
BIOS - AMI 7.07 4/20/2012

Hi
Have you installed the drivers for your card that would have come with the card ?? Secondly have you changed the BIOS to work from the new card as default ?????

IMac goes to black screen only cursor visable

On start up, my iMac shows the first screen (apple logo), then spinning "wheel", then goes to a black screen. Can only see the cursor. Any suggestions?

Hi cojoe,
If you are having issues with starting up your iMac, I would recommend first trying to start in Safe Mode as described in this article -
OS X Mavericks: Start up in safe mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204
Note that the article applies to the Snow Leopard operating system (Mac OS X 10.6) as well as to Mavericks, the process is the same.
You may also want to refer to this article for further steps -
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Again, while some of the symptoms differ from yours, the steps are still useful.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My screen on the imac starts to load then goes to black screen when turned on

how do I reboot my desktop as when it turns on it starts to load then it goes to a black screen

I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through a fix ...
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.
If this doesn't help then try reinstalling whatever version of OS X you are using.

P.B.R. meaning it Powers on, goes to Black screen, then Red light flashes....?
