Phone keeps working but my screen won't turn on

This afternoon I turned off the display screen like I always do and put it in my pocket and then went to turn it back on like 5 minutes later and it wouldn't come back on. It still works but the display screen won't turn on. HELP!!!!

Since the screen can't be turned on, how do you know that the phone still works. Is there enough power in your iPhone? I think you need to connect your iPhone to an outlet to see whether it can be charged or not.

I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

Once I downloaded iOS 7 the right side on my screen stopped working now my whole screen is working but the phone still turn on and it still work it's just the screen

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

Laptop works BUT the screen will not turn on

I have a Macbook Pro 15'' intel from 2007. Two days ago I closed the top and when I re-opened it a minute or two later the screen was black. Thinking it was just asleep I mashed on the keys - nothing. Yesterday I feared it was a issue with the computer. Thankfully though I have successfully log in (blindly) and was able to use a hot key to open iTunes and start playing music, proving that the computer itself was alright, but the screen was busted.
Does anybody have an idea of what I can do to get the screen back on? Could it possible be a problem with the activation switch that turns the moniter on and off? (is this problem covered in my Apple Care warrenty?)

Hi Hank,
Does the NVIDIA issue sound about right?

What do I do when my MacBook Air is running but the screen won't turn on?

I have had my MacBook Air less than a year and have been using it daily and have had no problems with it until this morning. I opened it and expected my login screen to appear as it usually does and the screen remained black. The computer is running and it is warm, but I cannot get the screen to come on. I have tried holding down the power button, charging it completely, etc. Help!

I'm not sure if this can help but I will explain the problem I had and the steps I took to resolve it. As with many reported MacBook Air start up problems reported, I went through all the reset steps recommended. It started when playing a video that the video froze with a repeated audio playing. After shutting down with the power button I had a hard time booting up the computer. Symptoms would be power on light on with blank screen or power light on with gray screen. My computer would not complete the boot sequence. Then I reset the computers PRAM, SMC and even tried booting in the verbose mode or single mode. Sometimes the computer would boot up and all was well until I did work that demanded more of the processor. On one of those times where I was lucky to get the computer to boot up properly, I then removed and apps or software that I installed that was always working in the background. This reduced the load on the processor.
From here I went to the "Finder" icon then selected "Applications". In "Applications" I selected "Utilities". In the upper left corner of the "Utilities" box I have two drive labels of which the first one was selected. Then the lower middle of the box I clicked on the "Repair disk Permissions" button. The computer did it's work and after a few minutes completed the repair for that drive. I then selected the second drive and did the same.
After this was done I started to use the computer heavily running videos and switching from site to site to see how the processor was doing. I also turned the computer off and on throughout the last 24 hours and had no problems with boot up. Videos are running without any problems. I also had no heat problems. I still use SmcFanControl.
I assume that the additional software I installed to run in the background was loading up the processor to the point of creating more problems. The repair disk feature had cleared up the software problem that was created and now my computer works fine. I do not think is was a hardware problem.
I hope this will help some of you. I have tried for a couple of years to find a solution to my problem and with many options it is difficult to find the right one.

My screen won't turn on even though i recieve calls, can charge it...

It seems kinda weird but things happened this way:
I bought my iphone5c 3 days ago and everything seemed right. Today I was playing some ****** game on it when i suddenly decided to lock it and keep it in my pocket since i was in school. I did. When i tried using it again, the screen won't turn on. The thing is: everytime I try changing it from loud to silent and viceversa, it does vibrate. I called my number from another phone and it does ring and vibrate, but the screen won't turn on. I connected it to the computer and to the charger, and both make that little sound when they're connected to something. The screen didn't turn on in any of those actions...
As i told you, my phone is 3 days old. Hasn't been ever hit, exposed to water or anything like that...
What the **** can I do? I feel kinda betrayed with Apple, since i bought this device 3 days ago.
Someone help me !!!

My macbook pro got wet and the battery light is still on but my macbook won't turn on. What's the problem?

My mabook pro got wet the other night, the battery light still works but my macbook won't turn on and should i just wait for it to completely dry up? Or what should i do to solve this problem?

Just face facts - if water (or any other liquid) reached you logic board or any other electronic components, you're going to be the victim of corrosion.
Eventually, you'll need to have the logic board replaced. There are liquid sensors all over your MBP and the techs can tell if these have been activated. I wouldn't turn the computer on at all - if it were me, I would take it to your local Apple Store/AASP and get an estimate for repair. Rice & other desiccates may 'dry up' the liquid, but it won't undo the damage already done.

My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!!

My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!! I have had it on charge all day and have tried plugging it in to my computer to sync.

Restore your software using iTunes.
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
You should be able to restore your backup file after this procedure. If the problem comes back, you either have corruption in your backup file, or a serious hardware problem that should be looked at by a tech at the Genius Bar (make an appointment first).

Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes! I've closed all apps and reset the complete phone but no luck. Any one know what else I can try apart from a new phone?

I have done a factory reset at 45% battery. After the reset it's still hot and at 35% now

My iPhone screen won't turn on but I stil get messages and calls how can I fix it

My phone screen won't turn on and the touch screen Doesn't work but I still get calls and messages

Hi Mptuck,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
There may be a problem with your device, which could be water damage. It is best to take your device to the Apple Store and see if the Geniuses can fix it.
Good Luck,

I downloaded iOS 7 onto my iPhone 4 and updated the iTunes on my PC, WiFi connection works but somewhow it won't do anything when I plug the iPhone.

I downloaded iOS 7 onto my iPhone 4 and updated the iTunes on my PC, WiFi connection works but somewhow it won't do anything when I plug the iPhone. Now, I got frustrated that neither iTunes nor my iPhone do anything. I need my iPhone to get it back to work regardless if it's back to the last version of iOS.

I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution. I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

Proximity sensor not working correctly...screen won't turn back on!

Alright so I'm loving my iPhone 4, but I've been having one glaring issue: the proximity sensor turns off the screen during a call(as normal) but then the screen won't turn back on until I lock, force hangup and lock again. Very frustrating because I was unable to dial a number to be transferred while in a call. Seems like the same issue is going on with other iPhone generations upgrading to iOS4 in the other forum sections, but I'd never think it to happen with a brand new 4. Could it have been my restore file from my 3GS?
Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

If resetting the phone from Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All didn't do the trick, try doing a hard reset: at the same time, press and hold the home button (bottom of the phone) and power/sleep button (top of the phone) until it restarts. That seems to do the trick for almost everyone.
Will doing the hard reset lose all my settings and data, like the erase iPhone option?
Or will it just reboot it keeping all settings etc?
Many thanks.

I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?

Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

My macbook screen won't turn on and it keeps beeping at me...help!

I tryed turning on my macbook pro 13'' and the screen won't turn on and it keeps beeping at me and flashing the white light on the front of the computer at the same time. any suggestions?

Beeping sounds usually indicate a RAM or logicboard problem.
If you have third party RAM recently installed, put the factory RAM back in.
Use the free MacTracker to find out your correct RAM spec and return the defective RAM for a exchange or buy top tier RAM from Crucial.com or OtherWorld Computing.
If you didn't mess with the RAM, take the machine to Apple for a free eval.
You might want to read this if the repair bill is not worth it.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
