Think my iPhone 4 has water damage and now screens stays black! Wot do I do?
How do I fix my phone
Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears, this should turn the screen back on.
If not, try a restore via iTunes.
If neither of those works, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

my iPhone 4 has water damage and a cracked screen but i have no warranty will apple still replace my phone at a cost?
Yes, out of warranty replacement for the iPhone 4 is $149.

i need help with water damage and problems with my iphone.
Do you have a backup of your contents? When the iPhone showed the screen with the USB cable and said to connect to iTunes, it had already entered the recovery mode which means all content had been erased. So you need a backup from before the water damage and problems started to get your contents back.

My iphone 4 has water damage and it has taken its toll and turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried everything, restoring, charging, restoring through itunes and taking it in for repair at an independant retailer. I really need my iphone so i was wondering where the best place to repair it is and if i can take it to apple, how much it would cost?
There is no such thing as an Apple authorized repair facility or technician. Since Apple replaces iOS devices and does not repair them in-house, they've never offered any iOS device repair training or certification. Likewise, there is no system of distribution of OEM parts, since there are no authorized repair centers to use them. Any parts are used, 3rd party recycled or outright stolen/black market.
So, anywhere you take it other than Apple is a situation of you pay your money and you take your chances (and you have no one to turn to if it fails, other then the person or place that failed to fix it for you).
Your optimal option would be to take it to Apple, pay the out of warranty repair fee and swap it for a fully factory refurbished unit (which will have a new screen, new battery and a min. 90 day warranty).
However, if it has been taken apart by someone else already for past private repair attempts, then Apple will not allow an out of warranty replacement.
The out of warranty replacement fees are available for each country under the iPhone support links, e.g. in the USA - http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne -
If my Iphone 4 has water damage, is it eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service? And if it is, how do I proceed?
I know I can get it replaced, I want to know if I can get it fixed. Or at the very least have my memory backed up. I want the pictures that are on my phone

i think my iphone 4s has a damaged software because it locks the phone always and powers it off without touching the power button. how can i rectify this problem?? i already tried erasing all the settings and content of the phone. thanks..!
This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -

I've tried that. It doesn't work. The only thing that happens is the apple comes up. I've tried holding the home as I'm plugging it in and keeping it held for a few minutes, but nothing happens. My iTunes doesn't even read that it's connected.

Downloaded firefox 5 and now screen is black except for toolbar
My laptop has windows XP. I downloaded Firefox 5 and my screen is black except for the toolbar. It doesn't matter which site I try to get to, the screen is still black. I had to go to my IGoogle homepage an access the help link because once I go back to Firefox, black screen again. I never had this problem until I upgraded to 5. Any help would be appreciated or I will have to go back to the older version of Firefox.
Hi Aphthonius,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, this means that the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. The information and steps in this article can help further:

Wont start - HD makes noise and the screen stays black
Hi there
This just happened today. Well yesterday while I was browsing suddenly for no reason my screenn went black and no amount of pressing of keys clicking etc could make it come alive again. So I powered down and restarted. It worked OK.
Then today same thing, except when I tried to restart the HD started making loud 'wirring' noises and the screeen stayed black. I've been trying on and off to get it to start but no luck. Is there anything that I can do????
The iBook hasnt been dropped or mishandled in anyway, and nothing has been spilt on it either.Try resetting the power manager:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
And if that doesn't work, it may be your power manager has gone bad. Hopefully your machine is still under warranty. If it isn't, an authorized service technician can still remove the hard drive and put it inside an external 2.5" Firewire case such as those made by http://www.macsales.com/ so that at least you can recover any files you haven't backed up. -
i locked my ipod before i went to bed a few nights ago and in the morning when i woke up i tried to turn it on but the screen stayed black so i put it on the charger to see if it was dead or not but it wasnt. i left it on the charger for an hour or two thinking it will turn on but nothing happened and i just tired to connect to itunes and nothing happened.
Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:
