    Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
    You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • My screen went black but still rings

    My screen is black but still rings. What do I do

    Hello Bradley,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone screen remained dark when the phone was on.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Screen went black but still works

    How do I fix iphone 4 screen went black-still works and already tried shutting it off

    I fix a lot of phones and have only experienced this once with a customer.She told me that the screen went black but the phone still rang.I thought she was just doing something wrong or that maybe she dropped it and the LCD ribbon cable hopped off the board.By the time she got the phone to me the battery had completely died as she could not turn it off.After I received the phone I plugged it in and to my amazement it came alive after the usual 5 or so minutes it takes an iPhone to fire up after being dead.So if possible let it fully drain and then plug it in at the mains charger.Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Screen black, computer still working.

    I have a macbook purchased august 07.
    Earlier today, I noticed my screen flickering. I could stop it temporarily by dimming all the way down then back up.
    An hour or two later, the screen started going black, but everything was still running & respnsive. As before, I could fix it by dimming all te way down & back up. After 5 or 6 times, I shut down and let ut sit fora few hours. Booted back up, and the problem resumed.
    Shortly thereafter, the black screen became permanent. diming up & down turns it back on for a split second, not long nough to even read the screen. Restarting also did not help.
    I am currently able to type this because I've shone a light on the screen and am looking at it from an angle. and have also zoomed in majorly.
    I do not have an external display I can plug in to test.
    PLEASE ADVISE

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
