iPhone Sudden Non Responsive Black Screen Solution

Under Category: Helping, iPhone, Tips & Tricks

Today I suddenly got this trouble. All on a sudden I can’t do any thing with my iPhone. My iPhone is now Firmware 2.2.0 with Baseband version 02.28. Its unlocked and working flawlessly. I just changed the springboard theme image and iPhone becomes non-responsive.

Symptoms:

1. Completely black screen. Nothing on the screen at all.

2. Could receive calls.( in the beginning i was able to enable while receiving calls).

3. Nothing happens on touching screen, or pushing home buttons or any other button.

4.  I examined and find out i could actually shut down and restart my phone. Though nothing on-screen at all.

5. Works and shows perfect on iTunes. Works perfect in iTunes, you could Sync back or even add any song or any apps via iTunes while connected with pc.

6. Could even charge.

After all  main thing is nothing in screen, absolutely nothing. The screen remains dead.

Solution:

That’s the sweet part. Solution is easy. Just push home button and power button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. It will reset the phone without harming any data or setting. Now just start the phone as usual with power button. It will show Apple logo a bit longer, but it will start accurately and all problem solved.

BTW if you want to unlock your 2G or 3G iphone with latest available firmware you could use UnlockAlliPhone.com

UnlockAlliPhone.com is the best service you could find online.

    I had the same thing happen to me recently. I brought it back to the office and put it in the cradle. A pop-up came up and said it was ‘fixing my phone settings’ and then it was restored. Didn’t know you had to do both home and power at the same time…

    If this article goes hot on digg (which it won’t), you can pay the bandwith charges for hotlinking my images!

    Hello,
    My Iphone fell down, and then I got this blank white screen. I was getting incoming calls, but only problem was nothing visible on the phone. I tried pressing the home and power button for long, but nothing worked.
    Now I am getting a dull white screen. Have given it for repair and they are tellin that the display circuit has issues and need to be replaced. Pl advise
    Thanks

    Salam. I really hope you can help me. I was surfing the net through my iPhone3G then “low battery” prompt flashed on my screen, until it turned-off. I tried charging it but then i noticed after almost an hour of charging that the battery level on the screen does not turn green! I unplugged my charger and tried charging the same on another switch – still no changes. I got tired and thought that there must only be something wrong with my USB Cable. So the next day I bought another cable and tried charging my phone again. It worsened! It now doesn’t flash anything on my screen. it’s all black and when i tried plugging it on my pc, it does not prompt recognition of my phone/usb inserted. What’s wrong with my phone… please… im so desperate… please please help me… thank you so much…
