Screen just stopped working

Anybody have any experience with the screen just stops working? Literally one day was working and the next day not. It's a 2009 MacBook Pro, and I've done all the updates and taken really good care of it

I just had this happen to me ... only the screen never came back until I did the reboot action recommended below. Got the home screen, but the slider wasn't active, then the phone went dark. I could still call it, receive calls to my bluetooth headset, etc. but the screen wouldn't come back at all until I rebooted.
Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone, unfortunately.

TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen. Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
as to how to fix. Thanks in advance

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My iPod screen just stopped working.

I was listening to a YouTube song when suddenly the music stopped. I tried to exit the app but it wouldn't budge. I tried locking the screen but when I went to unlock it, it appeared to the same screen with the YouTube app open without me having to have put in my passcode.
It wont let me restore and I don't know how to reset it.
I'm getting notifications and I am still able to use Siri. I asked her to see if I had any new emails to see if she could function when I suddenly found out that apparently my iPod was locked.
It wont show up with the lock screen. Just the same YouTube screen. I have that assisstive touch thingy that lets you lock the screen through the touch screen as well and it just keeps blinking. What's wrong with it and how do I fix this? Please, please help me.

If the Home or Power button does not work see my replay to this post
Turn on without Home/Power Button
Otherwise:
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.

My iPhone 4 screen just stopped working.

My screen was working 5 minutes ago, now it does not. I can recieve incomming calls but can only answer using my headset due to the screen not working. Any solutions to get the screen working again would be appriciated.

Hold down the Home and Power button for 20 seconds. And try to update again.

My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store?

Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

Most likely, water damage.
You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

My ipod touch just stop working the screen is blue I cannot re-set it but the time is correct and it keeps up-dating

My IPOD Touch just stop working - I was listening to music and it stop. I cannot power it down or re-start it. The time is correct and that is I can see at the top of the screen of the IPOD along with the battery info

Try resetting:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

My ipod classic just stopped working. Will not turn on, will not do anything. Black screen. It is still under warranty. What do I do to get it fixed or replaced?

My ipod classis just stopped working. It is still under warranty and I need to know where the warranty information is so I can get it fixed or replaced?

If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service.
iPod won't turn on
If the iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage. If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

Just stopped working -- black screen

My nano just stopped working, I plugged it in to charge for the past four hours and still nothing, what should I do?

I have the same problem. Mine is charged but seems frozen....

My lock button doesn't work. It didn't break, it just stopped working

Ok. So apparently during a workout outside, my brand new, month old iPhone 4S decides it wants to workout too. So I brought it to my workout, put it in a backpack, and set the bag down as I normally do. The dew on the grass that morning apparently casused enough condensation to trigger my litmus paper, and now my brnad new iPhone has no warranty, hence my question here. I have been searching for a week or 2 now on information for this, and can find nothing. Apple will do nothing but tellme they can replace the phone for $200 but then won't wanswer questions about the issue itself, and I seem to be the only iPhone owner in the world with this problem, so it's nowhere on the intarwebz.
So my lock button, up top, on the shoulder, stopped working. It didn't break, it didn't get stuck down, it just stopped working. Like, the screen flashed (go to wake the phone up, it didn't wake up, so I pressed the button again, and it flashed on and then off again real quick, like normally would). Hit it again, nothing. Hit the Home button, woke up. Played with phone, etc, went to put to sleep...... nothing. Hit the button multiple times, nothing. Button still clicks down and functions as the button itself should, but no sleep or wake. The button only actually does what it's supposed to do when I hard reset, or the phone is off and I'm turning it on. I can't take a screenshoot of the phone, and every now and then my phone will be just sitting on the table or wherever, and it will wake up, the "Slide to Close" bar pops up, and then 15 seconds later, goes back to bed.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what should I look at fixing inside? I have not taken this one apart yet as I don't have the tools anymore, waiting on them to get here, but I figure Apple has screwed me on my warranty, so I'm just going to fix it myself. Never had this specific issue before, so I'm not really sure what the **** is messed up until I can take a look inside. Any help until then would be wonderful. Sorry for the long back story, and thanks for looking.

Your problem is rare from the symptoms you describe. Most lose the click function, yours still has it. Yours functions sporadically or only for certain functions. Maybe it is liquid damage causing this. Maybe it will dry and be OK.
While waiting for your Pentalobe Screwdriver, try a Firmware Restore with iTunes. See if this helps. If you still decide to procede, the first step inside should be to carefully disconnect the battery at its connector. Also all the screws inside are different sizes, except for some of the Screen screws, so keep them well sorted.

CS6 just stopped working last night.

PS CS6 Extended just stopped working over night and so has my version of CS5.1. I have a trial of CS6 Master Suite going and they are all dead too, and no the trial isn't over.I don't even get a flash screen. Actually I got bridge to open and it asked me to install ACR6.7??? I have LR 3&4, Element/Premiere 10 and they are fine. I have wiped my MAC twice with the CS cleaner and have spent the entire day on chat help and the phone. Nothing is working, any ideas?
Oh and NONE of them will recognise my camera, it's just plain bizarre
