Screen goes black audio still works

I've noticed for the last couple of days when I am watching tv (YES network), the screen suddenly goes black, the audio still works. If I flip the chanell selector on the remote up or down a few chanells it comes back. This is happening on both of my cable boxes. Any suggestions?

I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your TV service. Is this happening on any other channel other than the YES Network? Are you still having the trouble? We would like to see if we can reproduce this. How often does it go to black like that? Is it during a certain time of the day? Thank you for your time in answering our questions so we can look into this further.

Hi there Bradvance! What is your suburb? I will try to find the nearest possible Apple Store. And have you tryed resetting it by doing this?
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
You are required to connect to your computer. Thanks!

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.

My screen is black but still working.

How do I get my screen to work again ?

A little patience would be useful if you want help. This is a support forum hosted by volunteers. And you can't get credit for marking your own post as "solved".
Try removing any case you have on the phone. Try resetting the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If that does not fix the problem Restore the phone using iTunes. And if that fails you phone probably needs to be replaced.

My iphone 4 screen goes black but still rings and eveything else. Please help

I've tried a hard reset but that doesn't work. I was listening to music and went to change the song and my screen wouldn't show. My phone rings and gets texts, but the screen will not show.

do a soft reset, hold the lock and home screen at the same time for 4 seconds, that's what fixed mine and it fixes about 90% of all problems like that on the iPhone

Satellite L405D-11V - Freezes and screen goes black when watching video

Ok, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I have had a fault, basically, the computer would freeze at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still going, this could be on start-up, or a few hours into using the laptop, so I decided to ring up Toshiba's tech support and they arranged for my laptop to be collected and sent off for repairs.
I was able to track the repairs online through the tracking service, and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, it said that they ordered a part, it was in progress and the repairs were finished.
However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, everything is fine, I start using the laptop everything is fine, then I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so, I power off holding down the power button, hoping it was just a one off, I turn it back on, and load up the video again, it freezes and the screen goes black again, after working out that when ever I watch a video or play a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze like before the repairs. So there is still a fault, but im not sure what to do
Its still under warranty, I purchased the laptop from Comet, but I dont really want to send the laptop off for repairs again and to find it will come back with the same fault, is it worth sending it off again, perhaps seeing if comet will replace the laptop as its still under a year of buying the laptop, or is it just gonna be worth saving all the hassle and buying a new laptop? If this fault has happened to anyone else, I could sure use some help, and if someone could shed a little light as to what might be wrong?
Thanks

Hi buddy,
Did you change something on configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? Did you update a driver or something else?
What operating system you are using on your Satellite L405D?
To be honest its really hard to say why it happens because the technicians test everything to check if your notebook runs properly.
In my opinion you should try updating the display driver. Maybe its causing the issue
If not I would recommend installing Windows from Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings. These settings are pretested by Toshiba and should work.
If you still have the problem you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the repair online and according your posting everything worked well during repair so in my opinion it shouldnt be a problem to contact the guys exactly.
Explain your problem very detailed. I think everything can be clarified then. :)

Windows 7 boot camp screen goes black after windows startup screen!!!!!!

A few days ago when I tried to start my MacBook Pro in windows 7 (enterprise) I encountered a completly black screen after the startup screen.
1) Choose start in Windows 7 from boot camp menu (holding option after starting up computer)
2) Windows start up screen would appear and finish
3) For a very brief second my cursor pointer would appear and login screen would flash onto the screen, then the screen would go black
BUT
I CAN boot windows 7 in safe mode
The computer is still on when screen goes black (fan still running and i can use keyboard commands to shut down the computer)
I've been searching the Internet for DAYS to no avail
PLEASE someone help me....... ive already tried the sfc /scannow and dskchk commands in the command prompt window

Win 7 Enterprise is not supported by Boot Camp, you may or may not get it to work reliably, (I would not bother to try)
Read this document then pick a supported version of Windows for your Mac.

Narcoleptic laptop - screen goes black while working

Hi ho,
About a week ago my mac started acting strange. I'll be working and the screen will just go black. (it just did it again! Sometimes if I'm listening to music on my mac, the music will stop, so it's not just the screen going black, it's like the computer goes to sleep out of the blue.
I was trying out bittorent for the first time and I'm wondering it it's related to that, if there is something I don't know coming on to my computer from the internet, please advise. I took bittorent off and it'll still appear. A window from Opera will open, so I took Opera off my computer in case there is something downloading. I never use Opera, so I don't know why it keeps coming up.
When it goes black, sometimes if I click the power button, I'll hear the disk repower up and the screen will go on, but it isn't all the time. Once I get it started again, it may be a few minutes and it'ss do it again without warning, or it could be 10 seconds. There's no rhyme or reason.
Another thing I notice is that the laptop will get hot, and I'm wondering if it's an emergency mechanism if the computer is getting too hot.
Please help, of course, I'm dead without being able to use my computer! And this is totally messing with my productivity!

Hi, madamep. A properly-functioning Powerbook should put itself to sleep (not shut down entirely) before it gets hot enough to do real damage to itself. That may be what's happening with yours, as you say it seems to be getting pretty hot.
I suggest opening Activity Monitor and seeing whether something is using a lot of CPU cycles a lot of the time, thus generating extra heat. If you find that something is, and it's something you recognize and can comfortably turn off, do so. Then see whether the unexpected-sleep problem diminishes or disappears. If there's nothing drawing heavily on your processor, are you using the Powerbook on a soft surface (bed, sofa, lap, etc.) that's inhibiting airflow around the PB's shell and through its cooling vents? If so, don't: it needs unobstructed airflow all around it, including underneath — that's why it has little rubber feet, to keep it elevated slightly above your table- or desktop. Always use it on a hard, flat surface, and if the feet have come off it, replace them with something that will provide airspace under the PB at all times. Also check to make sure the vents haven't become clogged with dust or fuzz: use canned compressed air or a household vacuum cleaner (not the brush attachment — that can generate a lot of static electricity that's dangerous to electronics) to clean the vents from the outside.

HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue? My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not. Any suggestions?

Hello Nina Izurin,
While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

I've had the same problem, and sorted it using this:
Run the Boot Camp Assistant in OS X as normal and create a partition when asked, then insert your Windows 7 disc to reboot and begin the process proper.
Windows 7 requires the NTFS file system, so once in the installer just select your new partition (labelled BOOTCAMP), click on Drive options (Advanced) and choose to format it. Then select the newly formatted partition and continue.
Windows 7 will begin installing, and once it gets almost to the bottom of its checklist, it’ll try to reboot. Now, if you leave it here, you’ll get so far and see the black screen. Any further attempts to reboot will bring you to the same dead end.
Instead, restart and press a key to boot from the Windows 7 disc when prompted.
Rather than running the installation again, choose the little option at the bottom to Repair your computer. Decline any suggestions that pop up until you see a list of options with Command Prompt at the bottom. Choose that option.
At the Command Prompt, type DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS to delete the default ATI driver, then close the window and reboot.
This time, Windows should successfully initialise a more appropriate display driver, allowing you into the desktop. From here insert your OS X disc to install the relevant hardware drivers as you normally would, then run Windows update to clear up any leftovers.

IPhone 3GS works fine, unless I the screen goes black after no use. Then I'm stuck on the white screen until I reset the phone.

The title kind of sums it up. After having my 3GS for over a year without issue, it started acting up today. I had my phone on my desk at work, and had been checking my e-mail, news, and web intermittently throughout the morning. I set the phone down, in it's typical spot without issue. No dropping, no hits, no...nothing. Just set it on the desk and go about my work.
The next time I pick up the phone to use it, and hit the button, I'm greeted with an all-white screen. WTH? If I press and hold the home button the phone makes a "dunk" soud, like maybe I'm enabling the voice feature. Long story short, I can restart the phone, and reset the phone, and it's fine.
UNTIL the screen goes dark from inactivity. From that point on, it will ONLY come back in the full-white-screen mode UNTIL I reboot it again, in which case it's again functioning normally...UNTIL the screen goes black from inactivity. I can hear the phone make text-alert noises as texts come in, my e-mail continues to download regularly, etc. But it stays stuck in this white screen anytime the battery saver turns the screen black.
Any ideas on this?

So, I've received and installed a replacement digitizer screen / component. The good news is that the digitizer works just fine! Screen swipes, finger tracking, etc are all great.
The bad news...is that it didn't fix my white screen issue. Same symptoms...everything works fine at boot. As long as I keep the screen from going dark, everything continues to work fine (rapidly consuming battery, of course). If, at any time, the screen goes dark (get a call, accidentally press the top button to shut down the screen, etc), the screen will only come back on as a white screen.
All touch components are working fine at this time. I've grown to remember where the "power down" swipe is located, so I press and hold the power down button, then swipe where I know the "power down" swipe is located. Phone will shut down.
Restart the phone, and repeat the process. Anyone have any other ideas?

My iphone's screen goes black and it behaves like that it is switched off.No switches work and the power button also does not respond.The ringtone do not also respond.The only way to switch on the phone is to press home button and power button together.

Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.
