My phone turns on but the home screen is black. what should i do?

If there's no removable battery, leave the phone on until the power is gone, then charge and it should work again.

Hold top button and home button for approx 20 secs and it should do a factory re boot , it still saves everything in your phone .. Hope this helps

Could be a software problem but, a strong possibility your lcd is bad

try this: press the home button then after several seconds press the power button (home and power button) if its not working then i think it has a hardware problem.

good luck

A Hard Reset might help. it will bring lost file/folders back.

Pull Battery to power off phone.

Hold Up Volume button, and power on button simultaneously until green android guy and DOS window open.
If Home key is solid button, then also hold
up vollume button, home button, power button.

use volume up and down to scroll.
Scroll down to Reset Manufacure Settings.
Use power button to select OKay.
Then select reboot system.

hi


try to reset your phone



To reset i Phone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. During this time, a red "power off" slider may appear and the screen may go black, but do not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

If i Phone won't turn on, or the display freezes or doesn't respond

1. Press and hold the Home button for at least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
2. If that doesn't work, turn i Phone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of i Phone for a 10 seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
3. If that doesn't work, reset i Phone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

More resets:

Try This:
1. Remove Sim Card
2. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until Apple logo appears
3. Replace Sim Card

Turn phone off, then power on holding home and power buttons at same time. After 10 seconds release power but continue to hold home for another 10-20 seconds and the screen may go black but you will be in DFU recovery mode. Use iTunes to recover phone.

Repairing the damage to your phone cannot be performed 'at home'. You'll need to take (or send) it to a repair center to determine the amount of damage it has sustained and the exact parts that will be needed to fix it properly.

If you have insurance on your phone with your cellular provider you can have it replaced -as cell phones being dropped are covered by most insurance policies.

Take the phone to one of your cellular providers Retail Stores that has on-site tech support and repair. They will be able to perform a more accurate assessment of the damage and cost to repair it.

put it on DFU mode. then, try to restore it using iTunes.

I believe that you have a problem w/the home button. maybe it's pressed all the time, so the phone cannot boot.

try dismatling the screen again, and check the home button contacts.

if you think the contacts are not ok, try to replace the home button.

if yo thinks there's no problem with the home buttons, try to enter to DFU mode:

1. turn off and connect the iphone to the USB.
2. press and hold power button for 5 sec
3. press and hold power and home button for 10 sec
4. leave the home button pressed until the computer recognize the iphone as a DFU device.
5. restore with iTunes.

if you don

Hi,

Some useful tricks,
1.) Try pushing and holding the power and home buttons for 25 seconds.
2.) Try connecting to iTunes and do a full restore?
a. If you are experiencing the same, try this:
b. Hold buttons sleep + home until iPhone turns off;
c. Open iTunes;
d. Hold home button and plug the phone to your computer. The phone will turn on and the iTunes + Arrow + cable screen will appear.
e. ITunes will recover you phone from unsuccessful recovery process.

Please let us know if that was helpful enough.

Good Luck & Thanks,
Shiv.
