REALLY NEED HELP!! screen is just black and wont turn on

i have an 8GB, 2nd geration, black ipod nano and i was just listening to my ipod in activity class when my ipod froze. so i tried the manual restart. but it didn't turn back on. now the screen is just black, wont even restart no matter what. so i tried plugging it into my computer but the itunes doesn't recognize it. there's a screen that pops up thats tells me to look for the files or download or something like that but when i try to, it says files not found. right now im at a total loss. nothing i do turns it on. what do i do now? should i just toss it? i dont even know if i wan't to buy a new one cause im scared this might happen again. i really dont want to use another $250 for another one.
ABSOLUTELY NEED HELP!!. im a bboy so i need my music lol.

Sounds like the fall broke something internal. Take it to Apple and have them check it out.

We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years). The screen has gone black and wont turn on. Phone was charged. I have tried force quit- home screen and top button. iTunes is not recognizing phone when I plug into computer. help pls

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

Hello yung_jvyden,
So your iPhone is on or it wouldn't be playing music yet you can't seem to "wake it up" as the buttons aren't responding.
There's a section in this article for buttons not responding.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
Note it links to
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My screen on my ipod5 is black and wont turn on but it makes a noise when i plug it into the charger can anyone help?

its just all black and wont turn on or show any light. ive had it for about 2 years now. its a ipod touch 5th generation and blue not sure what to be but it has everything on it thats so important.. i need help and im unsure about the IOS :/

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4972 My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall

My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall not the computer but when i plug it into the computer and put it in DFU mode it wont restore there is an error 3194 and error 1602 and nothing i do helps

Here's what I found about error 1602:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert,update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194 is also seen when somebody is trying to restore jailbroken devices.

Iphone 4s screen went black and wont turn on

Iphone 4s screen went black and wont turn on... what do I do?

Does the Vibrate/Mute switch make the iPhone vibrate? Does iTunes on computer recognize the iPhone? If not, then possibly the battery is faulty or worse. If yes, then the LCD Display is not working, possibly the connector came loose and simply needs to be pressed down to the logic board. Of the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. Or worse. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Replacement iPhone is $199 or battery is $80 with Apple.

My screen turned black and wont turn on

when i was using my ipad it turned black and wont turn back on, i tried to charge it and plugged it in to my compter but wont turn on.

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 ? 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.

Try a reboot first.
If a reboot doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode (data will be lost)
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Hi
Ok so my iphone 4s turned black and wont turn on again and my sleepbutton does not want to work
please help me ....!!

Is the battery completely discharged? If charge it with the charger for at least an hour then try again.
Is it not an empty battery: try this: holding the Power button and Home button at the same time, keep holding, when you see the wihite apple logo let go and let it start.

You repeat yourself frequently frequently. Perhaps your iPhone is not charged.

Hi really need help, on my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 if I call someone and put them on speaker before the calls connected, the call will fail, and refuse to end call any ideas, been back to apple 3 times!

Really need help as both my iPhone 4 and iphone 5 have the same problem, if I call someone using speaker the call never connects, just "hangs". Then when I give up neither phone will end the call! Been back to apple 3 times and all handsets replaced but still no different!

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

I cracked my screen about a month ago and just today the screen started changing colors and then went completely black. I have it plugged in now and it just keeps vibrating but the screen wont come on.. I've tried to hold down the home button and power button but nothing is working.

You will need to get it serviced.
