Screen black but backlight on slightly

So, my Iphone screen is pretty cracked and lived a nice long time before the screen went out. I used to be able to fix using the recovery mode (holding on/off and home) however now that no longer works. when the phone is plugged in Itunes recongnizes with no issues but i cannot get the screen back! I think something may be wrong with volume too it vibrates randomly for who knows what reason because the phone is not in service until i fix it.
basically the phone is totally black but when i hit the on/off switch it does light up just a LITTLE.
Anyone know a good fix or what the problem could be? Probably taking it to a store tomorrow but just curious before I go empty my wallet LOL

From other reports of a similar nature it sounds like a logic board failure. Phone Apple or go to and Apple store and have it checked out.

    Hi krishna706,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is working but the screen is dark, try these steps next:
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    Try to restore your phone and set it up as new.

  • Screen black but phone appears to work

    screen black but phone appears to work

    Is it always black, or only when you are on a call? If it is only on a call remove your case and screen protector (if any), as one of them is blocking the proximity sensor. If it is black all the time you probably have a hardware issue, but you can try rebooting - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing at all happens after 30 seconds of holding your phone is broken.

    dont you know your apple ID password ?
    IF you know that, try restart your iPhone if it doesnt work try restoring your device. If it doesnt work again, you have hardware problem. Try changing your screen.

  • Ipad A1396 16gb ...screen black but "dinging" away so alive. had slight tumble from bed any ideas what i should do

    hello...can anyone advise me.  I have an ipad2 16gb A1396
    the screen is black but its "dinging " so must be alive. had  a slight tumble of bed last night think may have knocked slightly of  nearby laptop. ipad ab0ut
    18 months old. many thanks

    try a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting and the screen may come back.
    Anecdotally, people have said they can turn their iPad over and give it a few smacks to knock whatever you jarred loose back into place. Obviously, you do this at your own risk because you could very well make things worse.

  • Make iMac Screen black but computer still on

    Hello,
    I am trying to make it look like my computer is off for about a week, but it is still really on. It is hard to explain why I need to do so. If I made a solid black image fullscreen for about a week, will that damage the screen? Is there another way to make it so my screen is black but the computer is still on? Thank you for any advice!

    In System Preferences > Energy Saver set Computer sleep: to Never and Display sleep to a few min's or sleep the display using an Active Screen Corner.

  • Iphone screen black but phone is ON

    i dropped my iphone about 3 hours ago and it landed screen-down, but it was not shattered. everything on the phone works however i can't see anything - the screen is COMPLETELY black. i tried resetting it by pressing the home and power buttons at the same time, and it has not worked. since the phone is entirely functional except for the screen, i can hear when i get a text, etc. when i tried restarting it, I knew it worked because it made a sound when it came back on and was charging, therefore the only issue is the screen. what can I do? thank you!

    You broke your phone when you dropped it.
    Bring it and $149 to Apple for an out of warranty exchange.

  • Ipad Screen Black but can still hear locking sounds etc.

    i just got my ipad today,and i was playing a game then right in the middle of it the screen goes black but looks like its shut down ive tried everything to get it to come on an nothing. i dont know if the screen has went out or what. any suggestions on how to fix this problem? and i purchased it somewhere they don't take returns. so please someone help.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • 6th generation nano screen black but able to touch screen from memory to get music to play..called customer support they said it's the backlight since touch screen can still be touched and music can be played..any thoughts?

    second 6th generation nano..again with the same problem..screen is black will not turn on but am able to touch screen and get music/radio to play...able to touch around on screen from memory..nano is recognized in itunes and computer..but screen will not turn on..called customer support today..of course out of warranty but was told that it sounds like my backlight is burnt out and that's all i need fixed, told that it shouldn't be that expensive (live in myrtle beach SC) and that my screen is fine since i am able to touch around on it...any thoughts?
    thanks to all for any advice or input..will try to take to local icitymac store in next couple of days

    Replacing the backlight usually requires replacing the entire front LCD/digitizer.  And yes, it sounds the backlight has burned out.
    Keep in mind that if you go the Apple route, they won't actually repair the iPod, but instead will do an out of warranty exchange meaning your current Nano will be replaced with a refurbished model of the same capacity and generation.

  • Screen black, but can some images - Backlight bad?

    Hi all. Sorry if this is a repeat topic here. I have a G4 17" 1.5GHz with 2MB RAM, and the screen has gone black. I can see images on the screen, but unable to use screen. Have connected to LCD monitor via DVI cable. Screen appears to be working fine except for the blackness, its like some one threw a black cloth over the screen. Could this be the backlight, the video inverer, or what? Thanks for all your help.

    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Powerbook-Aluminum-G4-17-Inverter-Board-p-16669.ht ml
    Before ordering, call to make sure this is the correct inverter for your particular 17" PBG4 (Model A1085). There is a link on the page to an instructional video that may show how to install the inverter inside the Powerbook's display assembly. I haven't watched it to see whether it covers dismantling the display assembly, or only how to detach the display assembly from the Powerbook. Either is possible, so make sure it shows what you need to know before you call about the part, and if it doesn't cover the inverter installation, ask whether PBMedic can direct you to one that does. Good luck!

  • Screen black, but iBook still runs

    I have had a white iBook G3 for over 5 years. I had just closed it and put it to sleep. When I opened it up not long after that, it seemed to wake up (breathing light went away), but the screen was all black. I restarted it and it booted up as normal, except the screen was black. But not pitch black; I could see the faint white box with OS 9 displayed. From all that I've read on here I probably have the inverter cable failure, or something along those lines...
    I read something about PMU reset: is this safe to do (I don't want to lose anything if possible)? if there is no hope for a self-fix, any idea how much this repair costs? Where is a good place to go? I could go to an Apple store or Comp USA.
    iBook G3   Mac OS 9.0.x  
    iBook G3   Mac OS 9.0.x  

    You could always attempt getting another used iBook with the same specs for $200-300 and then have the 2 to be able to switch things around with various parts. As I was trolling the web for used/refurbished iBooks, I found some great deals (non-ebay) and one was from a place (local to me), here in the SF bay area. Also, TigerDirect (where I got mine) has some of the 600MHz versions with 30GB hard drives and the rest of the basic specs (and Jaguar 1.2.8 pre-installed with NO disks), which comes with a year warranty through Joy Systems (a major company that does alot of the Refurbishing for other companies) for about the same price that I paid for my lesser iBook from them in August... They even have a $20-30 rebate on it I think until the end of the month... Oh well, no more 600MHZ model, but they do have the 500MHz with 30 GB HDD, 256MB RAM (I don't think that includes the built in 64MB as mine said 256 as well and it was actually 320MB total) etc and should also include an airport card, for $329.99 (same price I paid) and the $30 Mail-In Rebate offer good til 12/31/06 (which I did not get a chance to have). Just remember, you get iBook, the battery, the AC Adapter, and nothing else (pre-installed software only, no disks, no manuals). One year warranty (on a refurb) though can be hard to pass up...
    I can't remember how to do the link behind a keyword, so here is the link to all Apple Refurbs from TigerDirect:
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=23717 19&sku=J156-4060
    As for the other place mentioned, that would be PowerBook Guy (from SF):
    http://www.powerbookguy.com/xcart/catalog/index.html
    And they have all kinds of refurbished Mac Items (iBook G3, G4, Powerbook G4 Titanium and Aluminum, MacBook, MacBook Pro, plus older laptops) and they also have parts and I believe, do repairs too. Not all laptops listed will be available in stock (click on the model link and then "systems" to see what is available). Decent prices, I won't even bother with the G3 prices as you can get a 12inch iBook G4 *1 GHz* 512MB RAM 30GB HDD CD Drive (ROM only I think) with a minor case crack (if you don't mind that kind of thing), for $399.95 or same specs without case crack for $429.95... iBook G3 500MHz start at around $299.95.

  • Iphone screen black but phone still responding

  • Screen black, but fans on and responding to keyboard

    Yesterday my husband was changing the mouse batteries and must have accidentally clicked something. A screen popped up saying to turn the computer off and turn it back on. I did that, but now the screen is completely black.
    I have unplugged it, and plugged it back in, powered on and it makes the chime, and responds to the keyboard. I know this because hitting the volume button or any button really, makes the appropriate noise. the weird noise for the volume and the 'error' noise for hitting a weird sequence of keys. I can't figure out why the screen won't come on.
    I am pretty sure I reset the PRAM, and all that happened was the fans came on extremely loud, and strong out of the top.
    Just looking for some answers!
    Its and IMAC bought new in 2010.
    Thanks in advance!

    Try doing a SMC and PRAM reset first, do each 3x back to back. Please use the directions here to properly reset:
