What happens when your iphone 4s is glitched, as in it won't work? The screen is blue and black and you cannot see the lockscreen?

Okay, so my friend accidently hit my iPhone out of my hand and it landed on its screen when it fell. I was wondering if Apple could repair it? The screen is all glitchy, you can only see a huge blue streak with a black background. You can't see the "need to be charged" symbol. Does this happen usually? I'm really worried because I do not want to waste money and buy another phone. Anyone know any trouble shooting or things I could do that might work to get the screen back to the way it was?

Hello 23435,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone was knocked out of your hand and now it displays blue and black colors on the display. It does sound like this iPhone may need to be evaluated for service. If you would like more information about this process, please refer to the attached web link below.

Have a great day,

    They make a decision. How did you tell Apple about it?

  • HT201303 what happens when your iphone gets stolen

    iphone stolen

    In a word: Nothing.
    My iPhone 4S was stolen a month ago after I had barely had it for a year. It had everything installed including "find my iPhone" and iCloud, etc.... what Apple does not tell you is that these location services are useless if you are dealing with experienced thieves who know exactly what to do... Despite Apple being technically able to deactivate the phone instantly (provided you can give them a police report number and the phone's serial number) they REFUSE to do so and claim they "have no program" for such an event.
    Oh and btw: LAPD classifies the theft of an iPhone as petty theft and as such will not do a thing about it - 'we don't do iPhones" I was told...
    All your phone service provider is generally willing to do is interrupt service but not much else. What does it help you to know where the phone is via GPS?

  • HT1222 I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove

    And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

    Hi,

    Emily..
    Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
    If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

  • Not sure what i did,,, but in i photo my large view of pic is black but you can see the picture is there becuase of the tags - so when i click on the little picture at bottom it use to show up big , now its black

    Help i clicked something and now my big wont show up big.. its there but black.. you can see the names that are tagged but no pic.. ive tried view ect but nothing

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar              
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • Why is background black and text black so you cannot see what you are typing

    Why is the background black and the text black.  You cannot see what you are typing or read the text of posts?

    Hi dlwhit,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the background and text being black.  The sidebars are black, but the text is supposed to show up on a white background.  I haven't seen this, nor has anyone else reported this issue yet.
    Can you give more information where you see black on black text so we can try to correct it?
    Thanks,

  • Firefox 4.01 keeps dimming the screen after a few secnds unless you keep moving the mouse.This is very annoying. It doesn't do it on Explorer or while in Windows so it is only happening ince I upgraded to 4.01

    Firefox 4.01 keeps dimming the screen after a few seconds
    unless you keep moving the mouse. This is very annoying.
    It doesn't do it on Explorer or while in Windows.
    It is only happening since I upgraded to 4.01
    It happens even on this page if I stop typing or moving the mouse.

    Symantec have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US

  • HT1212 what happens if your iPhone shows iphone is disabled connect to iTunes and the computer your iPhone is synced with is broken

    My daughters locked her phone but the laptop its synced too is broken and she hasn't set up find my phone how do we unlock????

    So I'm guessing here, they forgot the passcode? Find My iPhone has nothing to do with forgotten passcode or accessing the phone.
    The only way to bypass the passcode it to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync to and restore the backup. However, it appears from what you have typed here, that the computer your normally sync to is broken. The only thing you can do is to use another computer to restore, however you will restore as a new device, since you cannot access the old one. Also, since it is locked, you cannot create a backup either. Not a good situation to be in.

  • I've just downloaded 4.0 and now read "You cannot open the application 'Firefox' because it is not supported on this architecture" What do I do?

    iMac G5 with PowerPC G5 (3.0). Is this able to support 4.0? Can I go back and run 3.6?

    Please consult the Firefox 4 [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html system requirements].
    If you cannot use Firefox 4 on your computer, you can download Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html here] .
