  • Today my mac won't turn on at all...the light at the front is remaining on and at a constant brightness however the screen is still black! I'm not sure what to do next?

    If you can log in blindly or using the flashlight method, it is possible your screen brightness somehow got set all the way to nothing.  I don't have my Macbook with me right now to test it out but I believe it may not be possible to adjust the brightness at the log-in screen so you have to be able to log in first (though I could be wrong on that).

  • HT1414 My Ipod Touch have a black screen when an app shut down and I can not shut down the Ipod. The screen is still black and I did the press two buttons solution and it doesn't work. What I have to do now?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 went through the wash. It works but the display screen is still black.

    My phone seems to work but the display screen is still black.

    I'm sorry to hear that. If the display isn't working you can take the phone somewhere to see if they can fix the display.
    I would honestly take it to Apple and get it swapped out for a new iPhone. It will cost you money because liquid damage is accidental so it wouldn't be a free switch out they would charge you for an out of warranty price. That is the best way. The only reason they switch out the iPhone is because liquid damage in unpredictable of what it damaged.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iphone 5 screen is black but touch works and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do?

    and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do, could it be a loose cable in the phone under the metal shield?

    Hello Dopeslayer242,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if I only saw a black screen.
    I recommend following steps 2-6 below for an issue like this:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Macbook Air fails to wake up from sleep. The keyboard lights up but the screen was still black. Had trouble turning it on and off and after I was able to turn the notebook back on, my information was lost.

    My brand new macbook air is just over 1 month old, and I am already having a problem. While working on a pages doc I stepped away for a couple of minutes to find that my notebook went to sleep. battery life was 71%. So I tryed to wake it by keying a few buttons, but the screen would not wake and the keyboard was lit up. Also, I could not power it down. I was only able to power it down after i plugged it in to the wall outlet. After I restarted the computer my document was lost. I changed the settings so that the computer was fall asleep after 1 hour of no activity, because I'm afraid this will happen again and I will lose my work. What can I do to fix the problem?
    Regards,
    Tiffany

    Well, since upgrading to Mavericks, I started watching a movie. Suddenly the screen dims and then goes black. Trying to waken my MBA means I need to restart. I have turned off all the sleep fuctions for the monitor and the hard drive. Still is happening??

  • My screen went black but the phone is still working because I can hear my text tones come in and also is ringing when someone calls.Screen is still black.Held the home button and top button for up to 5 min,I'm not getting an apple logo for reset. HELP!

    The contract on this phone expires March 19. Its not worth getting a new one over a few weeks!

    Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones  trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

  • About a week ago, water got into my headphone jack of my IPhone 4s and it was working fine for a few hours but all of a sudden the screen went black and I can't turn it back on. I put my phone in rice for a few days but the screen is still black.

    However, I took some screenshots and when I went to upload the pictures to my Mac, the screenshots uploaded. So I believe my phone still is working but the screen is just not turning on. I tried holding down the home and top button for ten seconds, even longer, but nothing occurred. I am hoping to find a possible solution so I do not have to buy a new phone. Thank you!

    The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

  • I open home page everything is shown. I open new tab, the screen is black. I go back to homepage, that screen is now black. Have to close out Firefox and then log back in before I can see homepage again. Happens everytime a new tab opens.

    Problems since 5.0 was upgraded.

    An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
    Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that get rid of the extra tab?
    Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

  • The only app I have ON to back up is PHOTOS (2.4 GB) but it says it still needs 4.4 GB to back up the phone. WHY?

    I have deleted back up for all other apps on my phone, but it still says there is not enough room. Why is there not enough room when I have less apps on my phone, less photos, and less apps to back up? The screen in settings say I have 618 MB available on the 5.o BG icloud- but not really sure why. Then when I try to back it up it says it needs an additional 4.4 GB of storage. Help please!

    This article explains what gets backed up in your iCloud backup:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    It also explains how you can manage the storage.
    If you have gone through the storage management already, and still have this result, you should restore your iPhone to clear out some of the old clutter and perhaps better synchronize the actual vs. predicted storage amounts.

  • Iphone has a dim blank screen, after replacement. Has been hard reset, and computer reset. The phone is still black., iphone has a dim blank screen, after replacement. Has been hard reset, and computer reset. The phone is still black.

    My Iphone 4s screen is black after replacement. I reset the phone, hard reset it, and even let it charge for several days. It continues to make a breif sound when charging. The phone is working, because when i switch the vibrating mode on and off it vibrate. Please help. I think this is a hardware problem.

    Did you replace the screen or is it a replacement phone?
    If it's a replacement phone take it back to the Apple store that replaced it.
    If you replaced the screen you are out of luck; the iPhone is not user serviceable, and any attempt to fix it means that Apple will not longer repair or replace it, in or out of warranty.
