My iphone 3gs screen turned black and won't turn back on?

My iphone 3gs screen turned black and when i hold the lock and home button it will reset but the screen still is black what can i do?

It sounds like your lcd is broken its a piece that makes the phone light up take it to your phone company they should fix it and it should be free if you got insurance on it

Is it completely charged? Was it plugged in while you held the buttons down? Does it show up in iTunes and/or My Computer?

I'd post this question in the cellphones section and mention whether it was or wasn't jailbroken.

  • My iPhone turned off by itself and turned back on while using a app? When I was on YouTube my phone just shutted off by itself then turned on. Is there something wrong with the phone. Also when I click my home button one time the phone sometimes wouldnt come on till the second click. What can I do?
  • My iPhone turned off and won't turn back on? I set my phone down while i was on the computer, didn't use it for like 15 minutes, and when i looked at it the screen was black and it shut off. It was on like 80% battery so it didn't die. I tried plugging it in to the charger to see if i could get it to turn back on but it will not turn on. I don't know what happened!
  • My iphone screen went black and now it won't turn back on ALSO! It still vibrates when someone texts me and siri also turns on when i hold down the home button but i plugged it into my mac and tried to hold down the lock and home for 10 seconds to reset it but then it says i need to back up my phone, which i can't because my phone is locked and i don't know how to unlock it on the computer.
  • My iPhone 4 turned off by itself and won't turn back on? I would try to hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button for 10 seconds but my sleep/wake button does not work. I have also plugged my iPhone up to the computer and to the wall. Nothing is working.
