The screen on my iPhone 4S won't turn on, it only goes black with blue vertical lines

So my iphone 4s can recieve texts and i can use the touch screen but the screen itself is black with horizontal blue stripes, which means that i cannot see anything that is happening on my phone. Everything is working other then the screen... Can anyone give me any ideas on how to fix this?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
Restart / Reset   >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

    The screen on my iPhone 4 won't turn sideways, any ideas?

    It won't turn sideways if you're on the home screen, and certain apps only have the option to work in portrait mode.
    Is orientation lock on? Is the screen not rotating in apps that worked before?

    You said "reset," so Meg assumed that's what you did. But "reset" is not a button; to reset the phone you must hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. You may have to hold for up to 30 seconds, and if the battery was completely drained, you will have to restore iOS using iTunes on your computer.

  • Toshiba 46G310U turns on for a few seconds the goes black with a horizontal line

    I have a Toshiba 46G310U that when it is first plugged up it will come on for a few seconds and show a great beautiful picture, then the screen goes dark with a horizontal line across the screen that eventually fades out too. Turning the TV off and back on does not help, If I leave it unplugged for 5 minutes with the source unplugged also, it will come on when plugged back up for a few minutes at the most then starts the whole turning dark with the horizontal line that fades completely out. I've aready replaced the inverter board, the T-con board, and now I am at a stand still because I can find any help with the problem for starters(Toshiba Tech support was NO help and was unwilling to listen to my problem), second I am thinking possible power supply problem but I am having problems finding the power supply board, the main logic board, and the two small narrow boards that the T-con plugs into above the LCD display. Display has to be good for the picture to be perfect before fading to dark. Back light is also good as I can see it when the display goes dark it still has a glow and with the back of the TV off I can see the actual back light panel shinning. Suggestions? No I won't call tech support back as it was a horrible experience dealing with the rude techs. Thanks in advance.

    The tech at Toshiba support was rude and seemed more interested in what was happening in the office then my issue with the TV. I've talked to a local tv service shop and they had no clue about the LCD type of tvs. I just would like to know if it is the main logic/input board or the power supply board. I can find the power board but have had no luck with the main board. Mr.. Moderator if you have any suggestions from Toshiba I would be very appreciative of your help. Thank y

    - 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.
    - 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 won't turn on since the battery died

    The battery of my iphone 4 died this morning. Since then it's been 10 hours and the whole time it has been connected to the charger.. The phone react to charger but won't turn on, it only shows the Apple logo the whole time. Every few minutes, the screen goes black for a second and then, it shows the logo again. Can anyone help me? I tried to put the battery of my friend's iphone 4 in my phone, and it worked perfectly fine, so the problem is in battery.

    Well, once you opened the device and changed the battery yourself, you voided all post-warranty support from Apple and from the forum. You are on your own for this one. Sorry. You could have seen about Apple replacing the battery, but that won't happen now.

  • My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

    My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

    Hey Thermali,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.
