So my iPhone screen went blank today. Scared the crap out of me. I thought it was a goner, even though it had received no ill treatment. It still seemed active, even vibrated with an incoming call, but there was no way to answer it with no screen activity. I plugged it into my computer and started up iTunes and it still saw the phone. That made me feel better immediately. I ran a backup, just because. Then I pulled it from the computer and did what any tried and true geek would do. I reset the phone. How to do that?<\/p>\n
1. press the sleep\/wake button and the home button simultaneously for about ten seconds.<\/p>\n
2. watch as the screen lights up with a glorious apple logo<\/p>\n
3. rejoice when it starts back up and works perfectly.<\/p>\n
So no need to fear. It’s not broken, at least mine wasn’t. Hope this helps someone out there who’s heart is fluttering with fear…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
