Screen won't come on after installing IOS 7

As soon as the ios 7 was released, I updated my iphones and ipads.  My iphone 4 had strange problems pop up sporadically necessitating a reboot to correct.  Now the screen doesn't light up at all (even the apple symbol doesn't appear when holding down the power key).  I went through a complete restore procedure and used a recent backup as the restoration data.  When that was complete, I could "see" the phone on my computer, i.e., all of the files, apps, songs, photos, etc. and that the battery was at 100%.  I ejected the phone from the computer and tried to start.  Held down power button for 10 seconds; nothing happend; held down power button and home key for 10 seconds; nothing happened.  One time when I just held down the home key, the "This is CNN" announcement come over the speaker; but, still no screen view.  The phone is now out of warranty and applecare protection (2.5 years old).  I don't believe in coincidences.  The phone functioned perfectly prior to ios 7 and malfunctioned after ios 7.  Is it possible the new operating system could cause this?

I have the exact same problem, I have to let the computer sit for a long period of time before trying to turn it on. If not, i get a solid black screen, with the front light on, and the noise from the hard disk. Any suggestions? I don't have any additional RAM installed.

  • Screen won't come back after installing updates

    Hi,
    Fell behind in installing updates, so I did them all in one go yesterday. Message came up to warn me that my screen was going to go dark and not to restart. This was near the end of my work say so I left it overnight. I've come in this morning and while the computer is 'working' (accessable across the network etc.) nothing is coming up on  screen - it looks completely dead. I zapped the PRAM and still no joy.
    Has anyone come across this before? And how do I get my display to wake up? Any suggestions welcome.
    Thanks.

    Only got it June this year - brand new.

  • Screen won't come on after waking from sleep

    I have a late 2008 Aluminum MacBook 13-inch running OS X Lion 10.7.3 and when I put it to sleep by closing the lid and leave it for more than a few hours, the screen won't come back on.  When I open the lid I get a flash with my log in window and my background but then it goes black.  I can also get a flash with just the brightness indicator at full brightness with an otherwise black screen if I run my finger across the F keys.  If I press the escape key the power light comes on and then fades out.  I havent found a dicusion of something like this and I have no Idea what it could be.

  • Screen won't come on after restart I must let it cool down at least 30 mins

    Anytime I restart my MBP I have to wait till it cools down or the screen will remain blank. I am not sure if this is a safety precaution or just a faulty logic board. All my firmware and software is updated. I read about the thermal paste and switching the RAM chips. Switching the RAM chips works sometimes. However, with a computer as "prestigious" as the MBP, i shouldn't have to have a little phillips head on me every time I want to restart my computer. As far as the thermal paste goes, has anyone tried cleaning theres? I would like to hear someones testimony before I start dissecting mine. I know this has been a problem with allot of MBP I am curious to see if someone has found a simpler solution.

  • IMessage won't send pictures after installing iOS 6

    Why can I send iMessage pictures from my iPhone 4S (iOS 6) elswhere, but not on my home network? Another iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1.1) in the same room can send them just fine. I've contacted my internet service provider, but they can't help me. I've tried 'everything' including a full iPhone reset, losing hundreds of irreplacable photos in the process

    Hi,
    From Messages on the Mac to my iPhone Number with a .psd 90.5Mb file (pic)
    The Pic moves into the Chat part but says nothing.
    The File Transfers Window does say "Sent Zero ..."
    It does not indicate progress but then it says Sent  and the Chat window Displays "Delivered."
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    However I am "waiting" for Multiple items to go through even though the amount involved is smaller.
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    EDIT.
    They eventualy arrived.
    The Time Difference between the Send time in Messages and the Arrive time on the phone says only two minutes but it felt much longer.
    It was most of the time I was typiing this.

  • My ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7

    I use the authentic Apple charger and my ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7. What is the fix for this miserable wasteful upgrade that made all of our iPads unusable ! I Shut off location, turned off  brightness, shut down and  took off apps.  WHAT NOW for my iPad ?

    Batteries eventually fail, and it sounds like that's happened with your iPad. You'll need to take or send it Apple to get the battery replaced. See:

    You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
    Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
    Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

  • Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

    Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

    i can see a possible workaround... download all photos to folder. delete all the photos from iphone and then sync photos with folder name like "OLD". i have tried this with years... like "2008"... but then whole thing became toooo slow so this is not a good way to go. despite the fact THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT FIRST PLACE

  • After installing iOS 8.0.2, I thought it would resolve my problems on my iPad, still can't play some of my games, they won't open. HELP

    Some of my games will not play after installing ios 8 & ios 8.0.2. I go to open Royal envoy and it just shuts down. Any ideas. Thanks

    Try the reset below. If that doesn't work contact the game developer for a IOS 8 update.. Two of my games didn't open and I've already recieved updates and the games work fine.
    Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

    Hi Midnightbrat,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone:  I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
    Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera
    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 tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning the iPad 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 switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • After installing iOS 6, YouTube app no longer exist?

    After installing iOS 6, YouTube app no longer exist?

    Correct, the YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
