Replaced lcd and digitizer screen remains black can see through itunes
Long story short, had to replace front panel glass, LCD worked, when disassembled LCD stopped working, sort of. I can barely see what I think is the password screen but it is not bright enough to enter password.
I can see everything through iTunes. Just cannot get the screen to not stay black

When using my iMac the screen turned blue and so I turned the compute off. When I turn on again power does get to the computer but there are no chimes and the screen remains black. Any advise please. David
Hello DJJOC,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where your iMac's screen will not illuminate, please reset your SMC by following the information outlined below.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: For Intel-based Xserve computers that are not responding, you can shut down locally, or by using remote commands, or by pressing and holding the power button for five seconds.

My iPod touch won't turn on. I have tried plugging it in to charge, but and the screen remains black. I have tried restarting/resetting it to no avail. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
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.

Replaced LCD and Digitizer, Now it won't power up
I just replaced the LCD and Digitizer on my 1st Gen iphone. Everything went well and I powered the phone up, prior to sealing it back to make sure it was working. I got the message that the battery was completely drained and then the screen went black. I plugged it in to run off of the power cord, and now nothing happens when I power up. I don't want to seal it back up until I get it working. Does the battery need to charge for a while? What could have happened from the time I plugged it in and powering up? Thanks
I sent the phone out to have the battery replaced. They said that replacing the battery did not fix it.

The part that is red flashes when I start it up. After about 5-10 seconds the screen turns off.
What does this mean? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks. -

Works like a charm -- you get to this settings menu by right clicking on the Flash component that's not working and choosing "Settings".

This is very strange- iTunes opens and works but the white background isn't there-- so that when I open it, whatever is behind it (my desktop background, navigator window, anything) becomes the background for my iTunes. The iTunes type shows up against this background and if I try to navigate on iTunes, the type starts to layer up, but if I minimize and then re-maximize the window, the text will be single layer again, but still with no background. My song player thing at top and burn/browse button also do not show up, but I can use them by clicking on the place where they should be. I can use my pull down menus and normal windows open for those. I have no idea what to do- it makes using iTunes nearly impossible!!
hi Annetheman!
i've seen one case of this transparency thing where the problem turned out to be that the copy of DirectX on the PC wasn't up-to-date. it's also worth checking the drivers on your video card.
although this particular KB doc is on sound problems, it contains some useful links on DirectX and upgrading the drivers on your PC:

My iphone 4 fell in the toilet 4 days ago and has been drying in rice ever since. I tried plugging it in today and the screen remained black but it did vibrate when i switched it to vibrate. Is that a good sign? Or should I just give up hope already?
well good sign or good sign maybe a strong word
it mean that not all of the device have been damaged by the fluid
but it does not really mean that the screen will ever work again
when drying in rice make sure you don't
1 conceal it so the vapor can't escape or it will not dry enough
2 make sure to leave in on a heating source like a heated floor or radiator to speed up the proccess of the vaporising -
The computer shut down on its own while we were gone and will not start up again. When we press the power button we hear drive and fan noises but no chime and the screen remains black. Any suggestions?
A pretty common thing for computers that have been shipped is a RAM chip becoming dislodged just enough to cause what you are describing. Try re-seating your RAM chips. Basically just pull them out and push them back in. Take a look at this article if you need some direction on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!
It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

My iphone died & I plugged it back in to charge when it powered on the screen remained black. I can hear when I receive a text and siri. I have tried holding down the sleep and home button and restoring in itunes neither worked. The screen on the phone is cracked but has been working fine until now. Please help!!!
Here's how to perform the restore:
HT1414
If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore. Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6
Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

MacBook Pro 2008 not turning on, no sign of power and screen remains black
I have a MacBook Pro 2008.
It was working fine until when one morning i wanted to turn it on as usual only to find out that it can not power on.
When i press the power-on button, i can hear the hard disk spinning but no display, the screen remains black like not getting power.
No beep sound when tried to boot without RAM installed.
The battery and the Charger worked fine when tested with another computer.
The RAM works fine when tested with another Computer too.
What could be wrong with my computer, i hope it is not the board that is dead.
How can i overcome this problem?Op Charles,
You can try a SMC reset:

Follow directions for a battery that applies to your machine.

You can check these as well
It sounds as thogh the the GPU may be dead, you can take it in to an Apple Genius (make an appointment) they will disgnose it for free and give you your options.
Good Luck
