My iPhone 4S has just lost the display completely.

It went suddenly.

I connected the phone to my Apple MacMini via iTunes, and the battery says 84%, so that seems OK.

( The Phone ' squeaks' on connecting to the MacMini, so I can assume that it is charging OK.)

Just no display at all !

Before I take it in to the Apple store in Gateshead, has anyone any suggestions..!!

Thanks to all.

I shall let it discharge the battery completely and start it up again; see if that helps.

The phone is over 2 years old and was bought from a pal who had looked after it and it is in mint condition.

If the discharge above does not work, I shall take it in to a local repair shop and see what they can do. It is a pity as this is my first smart phone and I have all my CDs loaded onto it....about 100 at the last count ! So as long as it does not cost too much I shall get it sorted.

It has the very latest operating system installed very recently....hope the upgrade has not caused this issue..!

Thanks again. I have drained the battery overnight, then charged it up from zero: seems to be working OK now. I have backed up the phone data on iTunes so hopefully it will be fine now.... smile
