The backlight wont work on my iphone 3gs?

the backlight wont work on my iphone 3gs?

The only backlight issues I've heard of were from the LCD having gone bad.  They're easy to replace, and inexpensive (around 20USD) on eBay including the tools needed to do the job.  Alternativly, you can have it done at apple for ~150USD.

    I have installed the new iOS 5 on my Iphone 3GS and my bluetooth connection for my Philips bluetooth headset doesn't work anymore. Does anybody have a solution?
    I have checked the headset on another Iphone with iOS 4 and it works well.
    Thanks for your help!

    Bonjour Pierre,
    there seems to be a bug in iOS5 with regards to Bluetooth. THere are a lot of threads in here on this. We're all waiting for Apple to fix this...

    my speaker wont work on my iphone and ive tried everything could i bring my phone to the store to get a new one ?

    Have you checked the silent switch on the side of the iphone?
    Have you tried turning the volume up?
    Have you tried restart?
    Have you tried reset?
    Have you tried restore?
    Have you tried restore as new?
    If all of these fail, then make an apointment at the genius bar.  If your iphone is defective and is within the warranty period, then they will replace.

    facebook apps wont work for my iphone 4 please help

    Ok, what you have here is a basic 'blown fuse' problem.
    With the iPhone 3G and 3GS if you drop them in water and they stop working you can almost always revive the phone simply by oepning them up, finding the corrosion on the motherboard then cleaning it and putting it back together.
    With the iPhone 4 (and 4S) it's a different story though in that water damage causes a fuse on the motherboard to blow. Once blown, the phones can no longer receive power from the battery. They can however receive power from a wall charger, which is why your phone runs whilst plugged into a charger but dies as soon as it's disconnected. Trying to run it from a USB port wont work either as the 5V power supply gets interupted whilst the phone is booting, as such it dies part way through booting, and the cycle repeats. 
    At this stage you have 3 options:
    -have the phone replaced by Apple, or
    -replace the damaged fuse on the iPhone motherboard yourself, or
    -send the phone to a company to have the fuse repaired
    There is a company that sells the replacement components, and  they have an installation sevice too. I've fixed a couple of iPhones in my day, and unless you are very proficent with a soldering iron I strongly recommend having the repair done for you.

    Sorry it's not good news, but at least you know what's going on with the phone now and can weigh up your options.

  • Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs?

    Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs? I can't even be a foot away from my iPhone before my bluetooth headset losses signal. It wasn't like that before. What changed and how can it be fixed?

    Sounds like you inadvertently have the Add Anchor Point tool active. Click and hold to get the full selection and choose the "regular" Pen tool at the top. (Or, just tap the P key.)

  • I am considering purchase of the new iPad and already own iphone 3GS, can I use my phone to tether to the iPad and use the phones 3G connection? This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

    I am considering purchase of the new iPad and already own iPhone 3GS, can I use my phone to tether to the iPad and use the phones 3G connection?
    This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

    You can tethe, but depending on carrier you may need to pay for that option... I've decided to have my phone on one provider and my ipad on another so i always have connectivity... More expensive in the long run, but I need to make sure I am always "on" for work
    YMMV

    I had this same issue. I spent time on live chat with Apple Support last night. I went through all of their trouble shooting. This included: making sure airplane mode is off; resetting the network settings; and finally doing a factory reset (2 times) and restoring my phone. None of these worked. The support tech told me that the "WiFi radio is not functioning" which is a hardware problem. Only thing you can do is have the phone serviced or replaced. Hopefully you are still under warranty so it doesn't cost you anything. But if not, sounds like it will be about $199 to replace, according to other posts.

    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:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
    Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

    im connected to wifi but the internet wont work how do i make it work

    Go to settings, then wifi. There, you can choose a wifi router and if needed, enter the password. You haven't provided any details in your post. Are you trying to connect to a home network?  A commercial network?
