Why phone suddenly stopped working?

Have a 4s iPhone under 2 years...suddenly completely black screen...no responsive...any help?

Hello there, gina3.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • Phone suddenly stopped working

    A couple days ago my phone just started to go black, the blinking green light still works and I get texts but the display just won't show. I checked the back of the phone and there is no water damage. The phone just won't work. it is still under warranty how can I get a replacement?

        @efinc1
    I know it's important to have a working phone and to be able to see who is calling and texting you!  I'd love to help.
    Have you tried removing and reinserting the device battery http://vz.to/15fVIWi?  If that doesn't restore the display, I highly recommend hard resetting the device http://vz.to/13KH1P9, following the alternate reset method.  Given the screen is still black after resetting the device, we can look into replacement options.  As long as there are no physical or liquid damages and it's still in warranty, we can replace it with a certified like-new replacement http://vz.to/12bAZCT.  Just follow me, then send me a direct message including your name and contact number so I can further assist.  Thanks!

  • Mac HDMI to TV suddenly stops working

    10.9.4 mavericks macbook pro retina to TV via HDMI
    using an HDMI cable to watch movies on my laptop macbook pro retina.
    was working this morning, and watched a movie. then I go to work, and come back and now the exact setup is no longer working.
    it does not show any display in the preferences menus, and the TV is just blue without any input.
    cable is secure, nothing has changed. nothing.
    edit: actually I did pull the HDMI cable out while the two were connected this morning.
    tried restarting, reconnecting, nothing
    ... very frustrating, no idea why computers suddenly stop working for  no reason whatsoever. maybe someone hacked my computer this afternoon while I was gone? it's just a random failure.
    Any help?

  • HT204266 Why did my lock button suddenly stop working?

    I just recently bought the Iphone 5. Its only been a couple of months and my lock button suddenly stopped working. My Iphone 5 isnt the only one that has done this, I know many other people whose phones have done the same thing. Does anyone know why they are doing this?

    Hey destinyw12,
    I'd take a look at the iPhone hardware troubleshooting article to see if you can resolve the issue with your Sleep/Wake button:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically, you'll want to look into the section titled "Buttons and Switches" which will be applicable to your situation.
    Take care,

  • Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

    Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

    The solution is :
    1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
    2. Run
    sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
    3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
    4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
    5. Restart

  • The sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

    the sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

    Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

    Why has my magic mouse suddenly stopped working? I'm using 10.6.8

    We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

  • TS1702 My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

    My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

    We need clarification here.
    Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software.  iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher.  Leopard is OSX 10.5.8.  You have two alternatives right now.  One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard.  This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4.  The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7.  The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
    Here is iTunes 10.6.3
    iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
    If you want to try upgrading:
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).  If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory").  If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see.  "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

    My phone is dead (no it is not the battery).  It suddenly stopped working.  I tried pressing the on/off button to no avail. What is up with this?

    Press and hold down for at least 10 to 15 seconds, both the home and power/sleep buttons until the Apple logo shows up on the screen.
    This will reboot the iPhone.
    Its likely the iPhone crashed, and you need to reboot it. No data should be lost though.

  • HT204368 My Bluetooth just suddenly stopped working with my vehicles factory system. It's worked for almost a year with no issues. My wife's phone will easily paid with the vehicle,so nothing has changed with the vehicle. What gives apple?

    Why would my bluetooth suddenly stop working?

    I have had non-Apple Bluetooth devices simply stop communicating after being paired with a device for a year or longer with no apparent reason. The solution was simply to pair the device again.
    An explanation is likely to be elusive, resulting only in manufacturers of the devices blaming each other for deficiencies either real or imagined.
