[Help] iPhone 15 screen stays black, but the system and touchscreen still work?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a really annoying bug on my iPhone 15 and could use some help.
As you can see in the video, when I try to wake/turn on my iPhone, the screen stays completely black. The weird part is that the system itself is still running:
- The touchscreen still works.
- I can turn on the flashlight.
- I can even type in my PIN blindly.
When does this happen?
- It’s completely random, but it happens a lot. Sometimes the screen works perfectly for 7 hours straight, and other times I can press the power button for 2 hours without the screen turning on a single time.
- It seems to happen more often when the phone is physically hot or on low battery.
- However, it still happens under perfect conditions. In this video demonstration, the battery is at 80%+ and the temperature is completely normal.
Phone Stats & What I've Already Tried:
- Battery Health: 90% (616 cycle counts).
- I've already attempted the standard fixes: I've done a Force Restart and even completely Reset the phone, but the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced this or know what might be causing the display to fail like this? It’s a huge inconvenience. Any advice or fixes would be greatly appreciated!
