S4 Screen randomly stopped working.

Hello folks, today I pulled my phone off the charger only to discover my screen not working. When I power it on can see the led light and hear the sound. I can even feel the vibration feed back. Someone help please. Thank you.

I have the same problem.  I have had my phone less than one month.  It quit turning on after being on the charger.  I had noticed the day before this happened that when using the hot spot my phone got quite warm.  The only answer i was given was they would replace my phone...one day short of a month and the send me a certified used phone???  Not only am I furious about that I am afraid that this will be another lemon phone from Verizon after seeing these postings.  I had had Verizon for 25 years and left after two years locked in to paying monthly for a really crappy phone that kept having to be replaced.  and i can't get through by phone or chat with customer service.  i should have stayed away.  The phones I have had from them are lemons, their loyalty to their customer is nonexistant and their customer service sucks.
Why in Gods name did i return to Verizon and Why did i go with a contraqct.  What an idiot (smacking myself in the head).

  • Laptop screen randomly stopped working.

    I was using my laptop - HP G61-320CA no problem all day like I usually do, and I went to go eat dinner. So I closed the lid of the laptop and went to eat, when I came back to the laptop, opened it up and the screen was just all black. My first assumption was that it was just stuck in sleep mode because it ususally does do that. So I turned the power off and tried to boot up. The screen was still blank but the fan as running and the start up light & wifi button was lit up. Also the caps lock and numb lock was blinking once. I did some research and apparently one blink means CPU problems. My battery needs to be replaced and I kept getting a message saying to change it. Does anyone know if it's just the fact I need a new battery that's making the display not show up?
    Any info is helpful.
    Also... I have done the whole, take battery out, unplug the laptop and hold power for 60s and try to start up - same problem happened when I tried this mulitple times. I've also tried to hook it up to an external monitor and no picture comes up on that external monitor.

    I have no idea how to do that ;( thinking of taking it into geek squad or something ..

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • USB Ports Randomly Stop Working

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook with Windows 7. All of the ports, 2 2.0 and 2 3.0 ports, began to randomly stop working. My mouse light would still light up, but the mouse wouldn't work. If I rebooted the entire laptop, all of the ports would come back on for a short period of time before they randomly shut off again. They will also come back on for a short period of time if I close the lid for a few seconds and reopen it. However, lately, the 3.0 ports have stopped working entirely and the 2.0 ports stopping is becoming more frequent.
    The first time I noticed this was when I was testing a micro usb cable (it has stopped charging and I was testing whether it was the cable or the wall adapter). I plugged the cable into one of the 2.0 ports and it gave me a USB surge warning. Other than that, I haven't received any notices. The drivers are up to date. I have uninstalld the root hubs multiple times. I have tried all kinds of Power plans for the laptop. Nothing works. The USB ports still stop working, and it's becoming increasingly more frustrating.

    Hello Abby_Renee,
    With the USB 3.0 port not working, and your 2.0 port working intermittently, I would suggest the following document Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 7) for troubleshooting.
    In this document there is a specific option for USB 3.0 ports stop working, which would be the best steps to follow for your 3.0 ports. Now for the 2.0 ports, I would suggest USB device not detected by Windows (no device name in device manager), or the other option is USB devices are detected by Windows but are not working properly. The last two options are dependant on the specific errors you are experiencing.
    Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting steps.
    Good Luck!

  • External Speakers Randomly Stop Working until I "Test" or Disable/Enable

    I'm using a HP Pavillion DV6 Notebook PC Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1.
    External speakers randomly stop working until I "test" or disable/enable them. Headphone/HDMI Audio Works.
    Background
    -Recently had to do a clean install of windows.
    -Went to the HP Drivers Website and downloaded all of the latest drivers.
    -I installed several other programs as well (Flash, Steam, Media Player, Browser)
    -The problem started
    Current Settings
    -My deafult device is "Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC"
    -Enhancements are disabled
    -Bass and Treble are set to 4
    -Format is set to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)
    -Allowing applications to take exclusive control of the device or not doesn't make a difference (but it's currently off)
    Troubleshooting
    -The audio works by plugging in headphones or using an HDMI device
    -The audio comes back if I go to my sound settings and hit "Test", or if I disable and re-enable the device
    Error Messages
    -Youtube starts the video for 3 seconds, restarts and sputters a bit, and then says that there was an error
    -My media player (MusicBee) gives me this message: "Unable to start playback (Error = BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST)"
    That's everything I can think of. Any ideas?

    Hi TheBigBoy,

    I see that you are having a frustrating time with the sound to your external speakers. Have you tried connecting the speakers to another computer to see if is a hardware issue with the speakers? Do the regular speakers work? What is your product number as there are several models in the dv6 series?

    One way that it got fixed one time was when i plugged in an external mic i borrowed from a friend and unplugged. after that my integrated mic started working again. the next day it stopped working again.

    - Went to sound disabled/enabled it.
    - uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers.
    - installed other drivers such as realtek
    - used the windows microphone troubleshoot.
    - tried configuring the microphone.
    - even tried system restore, but i only had like 2 restore points since my laptop is relatively new
    Nothing has worked. Can someone please come up with an actual solution to my problem?

  • Ethernet Port randomly stopped working - u310 ultrabook

    Hi,
    So my Ethernet Port on the u310 Ideapad has randomly stopped working - by that I mean that when I plug in my LAN wire, the lights will show only when I switch on my laptop, till the Windows logo comes on, which is when the lights of the port go off and the port refuses to work.
    I need LAN pretty urgently, so I was wondering if someone could please help me out! Thanks!

    Hi Ipsh,
    thanks for posting and welcome to the community. Based from your post there is apossibility that it it could be hardware. But however before we confirm let just trya few setting and software adjustment first. At this point I was just wondering if you have tried doing a software update, I would suggest you to uninstall the current drivers you have now and reinstall the drivers below.

    Please be informed that the driver above is meant for windows 7, if you have another operating system installed do let me know.

  • Help! My screen saver stopped working?

    2013 iMac
    3.1 GHz i7

    OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
    My screen saver stopped working about a month ago.  I tried resetting the PRAM and it worked for a few minutes, but then it stopped.  I tried using Hot Corners, but it starts and then turns off after a few minutes.  I am able to make it work if I turn Airport OFF and disconnect the computer from the internet.
    What are my recommended next steps to get the screen saver back to normal function?
    Thanks for any and all help.

  • ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 7.0: CLONE STAMP RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING A WEEK AGO.

    I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS HERE: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2211084
    It would mean A LOT TO ME IF anyone HELPED ME. I HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW AS THAT LINK, EXCEPT MINE IS ONLY THE CLONE STAMP.
    I use a Windows Vista and use Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 on it.
    I have the same exact problem now, the clone stamp randomly stopped working, a week ago. I tried resetting, doing everything else you can think
    of and its just not working. Now I also tried doing that trick on that link that helped that person, but since I have a windows vista I am so lost and
    don't know how to get to those settings or where to go. Anyone know anything about how to help fix mine, please reply to me. It would mean so much
    to me. What also makes me sad is that I misplaced my cd-rom to uninstall and re-install, thats why I want to get through this naturally and try to fix it without re-installing it and stuff. Please help me.

    I read the other post. I wasn't sure from your post if you were able to reset the preference files or not. (I wasn't sure if you ever got the reset dialog.)
    Reset application preference files:  When you click the Editor launch icon, press and hold in the ctrl + shift + alt keys. Do not release these three keys. A dialog box will come up saying something like "Delete Photoshop Elements settings file?" After this dialog comes up, you can release those three keys. Click OK to accept.
    See if that works.
    If the above, did not work...
    Did you just install a program right before this started happening? If so, that program might be "stealing" the alt key. See this article:

  • Sound randomly stops working in Windows 8

    I have a new HP PC and the sound randomly stops working.  When the sound stops, it stops in all applications:  iTunes, Web Browser, etc.
    PC DETAILS:
    HP Omni 27 all-in-one desktop
    Windows 8 Pro
    In Device Manager, under Sound, this is what I have:
    - AVerMedia H334 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC/QAM
    - Bluetooth Audio Device
    - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    I just set up this new pc this week and I have run all the windows  and drivers updates so everything is up to date.
    When I boot up the pc, the sound works fine for a while and then randomly stops working.  For example, if I play music in iTunes 11, the latest version, it may play for 1 minute or it may play for 10 minutes and then it just randomly stops playing sound and the sound will not come back until I reboot and the same thing happens all over again.
    I have searched this online and I found quite a few people posting similar sound issues with Windows 8, but I have not found a fix for this problem yet.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I do not understand that; if it's not installed, it cannot possibly be enabled.

  • Cs6 hotkeys randomly stop working

    Why do the hotkeys randomly stop working???
    Simple ones, like the move tool or the marquee tool.
    The only fix i've found is having to CLICK on the tool and then the hotkeys will work again...it's really annoying - never happened in cs5...

    There's really nothing in cs6 that makes it worthwhile to switch - and certainily not worth paying an arm and a leg for the "cloud"...biggest scam ever to make more cash.
    Well, I certainly share a dislike of the Cloud License.
    But »Liquify as a Smart Filter« seems tempting to me.
    And while in my opinion »Blur Gallery as a Smart Filter« should have been the way to introduce it, it finally being that way in 13.1 also seems interesting.
    Also, I use cs5 daily, and have used photoshop since version "7"...
    That does not seem likely to impress many people here. (edited)
    my boss keeps asking me if we should upgrade the company from cs5.5...
    It is certainly up to you to assess which of the new features are worthwhile to you (and your colleagues).
    But what you call »retarded issues« may be actual bugs or user errors or the consequence of lacking system-maintainenace or hardware related or …
    There is no way to tell without more information.
    Edit: Please not that I am not an Adobe employee.

  • Audio randomly stopped working

    The sound on my computer randomly stopped working yesterday. I think it happened when I installed wine, but I'm not sure...I use alsa and it worked before. I tried rebooting a few times and reinstalling alsa, which didn't help. I did unmute in alsamixer, so that should be ok. From lspci:
    00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1)
    I don't know what other information is necessary, so please tell me what other info would help figure out the problem. I don't see how wine would affect the audio as I had it installed before and the sound worked, I uninstalled for a while to attempt to get rid of left over menu items of uninstalled Windows programs which didnt work but thats not really a problem. I installed Wine again and I have problems this time. I've tried to get sound from my laptop speakers and headphones and through audacious and youtube, and nothing worked. I looked at the alsa page on the wiki, under https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … on_Startup but that is only for people who have multiple sound cards, which I don't (as far as I know lol). Audio is fairly important for me (not vital but still... ) so please help. I probably didn't supply enough information, so tell me if there are any log files I should post or something. I looked through /var/log but didn't see any files looked like they would have something to do with sound/alsa. Thanks

    No errors, but only the first test, pcm0 worked. Everything else only gave silence. That didn't help really because audacious/youtube doesnt play either. So I guess it isn't alsa specifice, and therefore isn't wine's fault. (I think?)
    It is normal that you only get audio from "HD Audio play front" unless you have a 5.1 setup, so oss works as expected.

  • Sound randomly stops working on Iphone 5c

    The sound randomly will stop working. (ringers, audio, etc.) I have had this phone for one day.
    Oddly enough, the same thing was going on with my iphone 5 which is a big reason I went and upgraded, now i am just very aggravated!
    Anyone know what could be going on??

    I have the same problem with my new 5c, seemingly carried over from when I upgraded from my old 3s that had the same problem - all sounds randomly stop working (although vibrate seems to still work) and then randomly start working again.
    When you set up your new phone did you 'restore' from your old phone's back-up or set it up completely like a new phone? I did the former so I assume whatever the 'glitch' is, it may be something to do with that.
    I called 1-800-MYIPHONE and was advised to do a hard reset - I questioned the point of that when I effectively started from scratch with my new phone only a few weeks ago (well, when I say from scratch I of course mean I 'restored' from my old phone's back-up so that all my stuff would carry over...), plus given the coincidence of having the same problem on my old phone... Next guidance was to restore the phone to factory settings and start over from 'new phone' status, which I did this afternoon... so far so good but we shall see. Here's a link to the guide on how to do it if you want to give it a whirl:

  • Screen sharing stopped working after last update

    Hello all,
    I have run software update yesterday, and there were about 10 downloads (I run this weekely, so these must have been new ones). The thing is that after installing all the updates, one of the features that I use more frequently, screen sharing, stopped working properly. I have a Mac Book Pro and an I Mac, both running on Snow Leopard, and screen sharing has always worked just fine, but not after the latest update.
    I checked passwords and they are all right, and also checked sharing properties and all seems to be fine. I can share files all right, but for screen sharing now is only possible by setting the option "anyone may request permission to control screen" (under sharing>screen sharing>computer settings) to on, and ask for authorization each time I need to share screens, not good, mainly if you have the computers in different rooms.
    Finally, I own an Me account, so I tried sharing screen via Back to my Mac, but it didn't work either.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks a lot,
    Luis

    Problem solved!
    After working with Apple, I have an answer. It looks like the 10.10.2 update changed your firewall settings. Try this:
    System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Firewall Options
    Scroll down the list till you find "screensharingd". If it's marked as block in coming connections, change it to allow incoming connections.
    Be sure to reboot your computer and you should be good to go!
