What is wrong with the screen stays black

what is wrong with the iPod if the screen stays black and won't turn on, but is fully charged.

Could be one of the two:
1. Device sleep - Press and hold power button for six seconds and see if that wakes up the unit
2. Device freeze - press and hold the power and home button for few seconds till Apple logo is seen.
Hope this helps!

  • What is Wrong With the Screen on My New X1CT?

    Guys, what the hell is wrong with the screen on my new (an hour ago) X1CT?  Its like there is a matte cover over the screen.  I read about the screendoor and I don't think this is that.  Its like the colors are all off, white is grey and grey is white.  There are weird lines and shimmering on the screen.  
    It seems to be okay on the W8 start page but there is no white there, just the metro tiles.  I have checked all settings and there is nothing I can do with any settings.
    In the pic below see how the whites and greys are even reversed on the same webpage?  
    I just took it out of the box and started to set it up.  I'm not sure what is going on but it certainly is not right.  I doubgt i can use it like this.
    Thanks in advanced for any ideas.

    They are sending out a tech with a new screen and cable on Monday am.  If that doesn't fix it then its going back.  I've decided that its somthing physical as the screen just cannot make white.  The google homepage is grey not white.  There is banding and artifacts all over and even screen memory when I close windows and such.  There is no way its supposed to be like this.

  • I purchased a tv show and have tried to play it in itunes.  The screen stays black but the curser is moving.  What am I doing wrong?

    I purchased a tv show in itunes.  When I try and play it, the screen stays black but the cursor is moving.  Any thoughts?

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

  • I locked my ipod before i went to bed the other night and i tried to turn it on the next morning and the screen stayed black and now i was wondering what i could do to try and fix it.(besides plugging it into itunes)

    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:

  • IMac starts with fan, screen stays black

    When attempting to start my iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor), fans come on but screen stays black. A couple minutes later, the fans rev up and run very quickly and loudly. This started happening when:
    1. One day the screen showed a green question mark with a message indicating that the computer needed to be restarted in a box
    2. Green lines were all across the screen
    3. I forced it to shut down by holding down the power button
    4. When I attempted to start it back up the fans started but the screen stayed black
    5. After a couple of minutes, the fans revved up
    This has been happening ever since. One time the computer started to the desktop but everything was frozen. I have reset the PMU, checked the diagnostic LEDs, reset the PRAM-basically everything suggested. Can anyone help? Thanks!

  • What is wrong with the Photoshop CC 2014 blur tool?

    What is wrong with the Photoshop CC 2014 blur tool?  It only blurs pixels of initial contact with the tool.  It does not blur any pixels that are swiped by the tool as you drag it across the screen.  Photoshop CS6 blur tool works just fine.  Togeling between two versions of Photoshop to get the work done is a drag!

    all my settings both in the Options Bar and the Brush Panel are the same whether in CS6, CC, or CC 2014.
    Let’s see the screenshots.

  • When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

    After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
    All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

    OK, I have a fix. 
    After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem.  I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
    I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
    Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

  • IMac from 2010: sometimes the screen stays black, only restoring from backup helps.

    hello there dear community,
    i have been a great fan of my imac and macbook eversince i first got them. but recently - probably since maverick - i am experiencing a series of problems with my 2010 27" imac. let me be more precise: eversince i got maverick, my imac keeps asking me to update every other day. usually i'm doing this or waiting for a couple of days. it's been exactly three times now that when my imac asked me to update and i postponed it that troubles occured. every single time i am not able to switch from sleep mode into the regular one. the screen stays black and the cursor is visible (and moveable). also i can clearly hear that the computer is on and working. the screen is black, but not in a mat kind of black but as if there was light behind it (i.e. the screen is switched on).
    when this happened first, i called the apple support and we tried a lot of things and spoke for more than an hour. the only solution that worked out was pulling the plug, waiting, putting it back, restart the computer with cmd+r pressed and then restore the system from a backup that i had saved on an external drive. this of course takes time, usually up to four hours, but yes - it works. and i am very glad that there is a solution at all to this mess - but it's very idle.
    now my question: there must be another way? or even better: how do i avoid that my imac falls to a sleep from which it can't really awake?
    thank you for your patience and thank you for your help!
    cheers

  • HT201177 When I turn my computer on, I can hear it starting up but the screen stays black.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    When I start up my compute, I can hear it starting up but the screen stays black.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix?

    If you press the caps lock key does it light up? If it does then this indicates that your system is booting but the display is either not recognized, is not displaying any video, or the display is displaying video but the backlight system is not lighting up. As long as you've tried turning up the brightness then there is not much you can do other than take it in for a diagnosis. If you have a very bright flashlight you can turn on the iMac and then shine the flashlight onto various areas of the iMac display to see if you can see any faint images on the display. If you do then this indicates that the display is displaying the image, but the backlight is not turning on for some reason. It doesn't change the outcome, but at least you can assist the technician who is troubleshooting your iMac.
