Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

How do I make my iMac screen completely black - without sleep or turning it off?

I have somebody sleeping in my office who finds the light from my iMac disturbing, even when it's turned down to the lowest level.
Is there an easy way, just for a few days, to make the screen completely black at night - I don't want it to sleep or to switch it off so I can use it early in the morning remotely.

What you are suggesting, puts the computer to sleep. just what fusbariclation does not want to do. He/she just wants to put the display to sleep.
On my iMac, my Macbook Pro, my Wife's Macbook Air and her Macbook Pro the Control-Shift-Eject just turns off the screen, but the iMac continues to run, which if very important for me, as my iMac is a web server for the rest of my team at work. I generally hit Control-Shift-Eject as I'm leaving the office every night.
HOWEVER, since the OP (Fustbariclation) wants to access the iMac remotely, and wants the screen to be blacked out during the remote access so it will not disturb the guest in the same room with the iMac, my Control-Shift-Eject does not work for the OP. I missed that essential tidbit in the original problem description.
Other contributes have come through with working solutions for Fustbariclation

Adobe Flash Player Installer Screen completely black

When trying to install Adobe Flash Player, Mac 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.4, the Adobe Flash Player Installer page and popup screens are completely black and not accessible.

A) The screenshot didn't work. It's not complex to visualize. Just imagine a window in the app "Install Adobe Flash Player" which has the words Adobe Flash Player Installer in the top most horizontal section, on the same level as the Mac Red and Yellow circles. Then imagine that everything below that level is completely black. That's what it looks like.
B) When I went to Installation problems | Mac, and hit "
Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI
then I get a Safari tab http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg. The entire window area below the tab line is also completely black. Plus there is a pop-up that says "Plug-in blocked for this website"

OS2 - Camera screen completely black

I had some issues with the camera giving me gray bars while I was on the beta. I upgraded and saw the same thing so I did a security wipe. Now all I get is a completely black screen. The pull down menu does show up, but there is nothing in the app window at all. Restarting hasn't helped either. Any idea how I can get my camera back?

I did another security wipe and OS load from Desktp Manager. This time it loaded 1 component instead of 69. When it was done, I also had my default wallpaper, video, and music back that were not present after the OS load I did at work yesterday. The camera didn't work right after the load though. I've rebooted several times since then.

Nokia N85 screen completely black

Hello. I recently bought a nokia n85 off ebay, it works fine except for the menu button and the screen is completely black, not even the screen backlight turns on. All of the components are properly inserted, but problem still persists. I have connected the phone to the TV using TV-out cable and the phone is working properly. All i want to know is it an LCD problem or a flex cable problem? I can't tell by myself.

It's not any easier for us to tell either and since we cannot discuss disasembling here you will have to search for help some where else on a unofficial forum.
What I can suggest is that you drop by a Nokia care point and ask if they can have a look at it.
Good luck!

And then see if iTunes eses the iPod.

Whenever I open iTunes everything turns black for a while.

It's really annoying. Ignore the stuff in the Task Bar

Same issue, same screen. I've tried switching to 16bit, but that doesn't help, so I've put it back to 32bit.
Reinstalling, alt+tab out of/into iTunes doesn't work either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I dropped my iPhone 5 and the screen is completely black and when i plug it into my computer it constantly beeps. When I call it it doesn't go straight to voicemail but my phone doesn't ring. Rebooting it doesn't work. What is the problem?

My screen has been cracked for a while now and today I dropped it and parts of the screen on top came off and the phone went completely black. I tried calling it and it rings as usual on the line but my iphone doesn't make any sound. I just plugged in my phone to my macbook and i am still able to import pictures and send imessages but while it's plugged in my phone constantly beeps..the same beeping as it does when its on the charger but it's just one beep every couple seconds. People have been telling me it could be the LCD..any thoughts?

Ask Verizon.
If you don't know whether you have AppleCare+, you can find out warranty information by entering the serial number at http://selfsolve.apple.com. The serial number can be found under Settings > General > About > Serial Number, if you are still able to use the phone. If not, eject the SIM card tray from the right side of the phone using a paper clip or SIM unlock tool. It is in very tiny print on the rim of the tray.
You cannot purchase AppleCare+ if it's been after 30 days or the phone has already been damaged like yours.

My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

I just downloaded the recent Maverick Software Update onto my Macbook Pro 15" and when the download/reset finished, my screen was completely black and I have not been able to get it back since. Help?

My computer had been wanting to do a software update, with what I believe was the Mavericks Software, for a few weeks but I had been putting it off. When I finally decided to install the update onto my Macbook Pro 15" today, my screen went completely black and I haven't been able to get it back since. The computer still turns on, I can tell because my caps lock key still glows when I press it and my volume buttons still make sounds when I press them. However, I cannot see anything on the screen. I don't even get the grey start up screen when I reset my computer. I have tried the SafeMode Restart where you hold Shift while it is restarting and the Display Reset in which you hold Command + Option (alt) + R + P until you hear the start up noise twice, and neither have worked. Any other advice on what I can do to get my screen back without having to send my computer away to be fixed?

Try a SMC reset:

Phone stuck in recovery mode complete black screen will not turn on after recovery and update there was an error and now computer and itunes will not recognize the phone....Anyone know what I can do to get the phone recognized again when it cant be turned

Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?

Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

they will replace my device? Is that correct?
Assuming it is in one piece and otherwise meets the conditions for an Out of Warranty replacement, yes.
Conditions are:
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
