Q: my iphone screen went black but phone is still on and its charging. HELP

Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for up to 1 minute, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

Restart the device by holding the home and power buttons at the same time for up to 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose anything.

Thank you!!!  That worked!!  Stupid Phone!!!  I've started to hate it!!!

Thanks modular747, your solution worked.

I have done what you said however first it turned on but then the same thing happened again... I really need to use my phone tomorrow pleaseee help!

Same thing's happening to me. The screen Is staying black every time I reset it but I'm getting messages and it's charging.

Thanks really works

I am having the same problem but the thing is, is that my lock button on the top is broken so I wouldn't be able to reset it....any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Take it in for repair.

I had the same thing.  I tried all kinds of things but what worked is hold down both buttons until the apple screen appears. I was headed to the repair place and tried it.  I did not time it but it was a long time like 10-30 seconds.

thank you so much ur my guy

The same thing happened to me but my problem is that my top button is broken so I can't turn it off without usig the little dot thing on the screen... I don't know what to do..

Take the device in for repair because without that button you cannot reset your device using just the device. You could try connecting to iTunes and restoring your device as a new device.
