Screen went blank on 4s and can't turn back on. Battery is charged.

Screen went blank on 4s. Battery is fully charged. Can not turn on.

Okay, got my phone back from the store I originally bought it at (the Swedish equivalent to Best Buy), and they had tried charging it with an iPhone-charger with no results. However, when they tested with an off-brand charger, it started working again. I wonder why that is.
When I got home, it was on 98% and I plugged it in with my regular charger just to see if I would really need to go out of my way to buy a completely different charger. It charged up to 99%, and I then unplugged it. I will wait and see if the problem re-occurs, but as it looks now, I probably won't be needing to get the battery changed nor book an appointment with the Genius Bar I'll check in here again if that were to happen, to give my review of the Genius Bar!
Thanks for all the help again

  • Stupid S4 went blank while surfing.  Will not turn back on.

    My stupid S4 went blank while surfing.  Will not turn back on even after charging it.  Used it just over 3 months so I dont think I can return it to Costco.  Do I return it to Verizon or Samsung to get it fixed?  Or Costco?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • HT3205 Hi, 2011 MBP went on sleep mode and won't turn back on, charger and indicator shows green light, led in front on Trackpad lights on for 2 seconds then back off, MBP won't turn back on, what happened???.

    Thank you for your detailed troubleshooting attempts.  Very helpful.  Sorry, I cannot read "logs."  My eyes just glass over on those things.  Hopefully, a knowledgeable user will come along shortly to decipher for you.
    I noticed from the pics that your location setting is "untitled."  Have you tried the "Automatic" setting?  Run the diagnostic test?  Results?
    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
    Research Knowledge Base for network problems that pertain to the OS that is currently installed on your computer.   See these basic networking KB Articles:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide

  • I just recently purchased my macbook pro about two months ago and just now right after i turned it on it shut off and it wont turn back on or even charge. it was fully charged this morning. What happened?

    I purchased my macbook pro about two months ago. I had no issues with it what so ever. This morning i took it off the charger because it was fully charged because it showed the green light. When i came back home i turned my computer back on , entered my password and it shut off . i tried turning it back onbut it wont turn back on and neither woul it charge . Its not turning on and its not charging.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It looks like the logic board has failed, but first try a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If it does not work, take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. You will get the MacBook repaired for free

  • The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

    The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

    Is it charged? If so try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.  If it's not charged, charge it via a wall socket for a least 30 minutes then try the reset again.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Although the security of Windows XP SP3 32 bit is compromised by Microsoft no longer supporting XP, if Windows XP was restored as claimed, you should still be able to install/uninstall Premiere Elements versions of it that you did before the Microsoft support removal.
    I think a revisit to the Geeks would be in order. It may be that they could not restore Windows XP because of the Microsoft non support. I would take along the Premiere Elements installation disks so that you do not leave there without actually seeing Premiere Elements (or a non Adobe program) running on your restored Windows XP. What was the other software that you tried to use that did not work?
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Best wishes
    Thanks.

  • IPad 1st generation turned it on and clicked on an app then screen went blank and now I can't get it to do anything at all

    iPad 1st gen..help-clicked on an app and the screen went blank and now it won't' do anything-can't turn it off and it's getting hot. How do I remove the battery.

    You cannot remove the battery on the iPad. If it is getting very hot, unplug it from power, if it's plugged in and set it down somewhere to let it cool off. Set it on something that cannot catch fire - as bizarre as that sounds. Set it on something that will not burn.
    After it has cooled off, then try to restart it. If it will not start, try a reset.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond.   I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not start up, the logo disappears.   I have tried connecting the iP

    I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond.   I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not restart, the logo disappears.   I have tried connecting to my iMac to restore the iPad but the device does not show up (I have an old iMac).   What else can I do?

    You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 at the very least in order to sync your iPad with iTunes so you could update your Mac, if it can be updated, and if you care to do so.
    If that's not an option, you will have to find someone that can restore the device for you with their computer running iTunes or make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore the device for you.
    I hope that you have an iCloud backup, because you will lose everything on the device when it is restored.
    Snow Leopard can still be purchased in the U.S. Apple Online Store.

    Also, I would not give up on the reset technique....holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. It takes about 10-15 seconds and sometimes just a little longer to get the logo to appear.

  • While using IBOOKS I touched something on the screen and the screen went blank.  Can't get normal screen back.

    While using IBOOKS I touched something on the screen and the screen went blank and I can't get back to normal IBOOKS screen.  How do?

    Try to reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    Help has arrived! Have you tried powering on the device using the alternate method listed here? http://vz.to/1wLVkzX Does your device have any physical/liquid damage?
