Troubleshooting iPhone 13 Black Screen Issues

Is your iPhone 13 screen not turning on or displaying anything? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. At Salvation Repair, we understand how frustrating it can be when your device is not functioning properly. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue.

First Steps

Before we dive into the more complex solutions, let’s start with some basic troubleshooting steps. First, try performing a force restart on your iPhone 13. This can sometimes resolve the issue and get your screen working again.

Causes of iPhone 13 Black Screen

There are several reasons why your iPhone 13 screen may not be turning on. Here are some possible causes:

Firmware Corruption

It’s rare for an iPhone to develop issues producing an image due to a software issue. However, if your iPhone is stuck in Direct Firmware Upgrade mode, or DFU mode, it may manifest with no image on the screen, only the backlight may be on.

Ambient Light Sensor Fault

The Ambient Light Sensor, or ALS, is responsible for setting the screen’s auto brightness. If the ALS is faulty, the screen may not be black, just dim.

Screen Disconnect

Especially after a hefty drop, the connection between the board and the screen can become separated. It’s uncommon, but still worth going through the motions of a simple iPhone 13 Screen Replacement Guide.

Faulty Display

Although most display failures seem obvious, even without visible damage, the display may not work properly due to something amiss internally. Cracks in glass can also be difficult to detect until the light catches them.

Logic Board Malfunction

The logic board is the hub for the vast majority of an iPhone’s functionality. Any number of the small components on the board may have failed or become damaged and is a safe assumption of cause if nothing else on this page has worked.

If you’ve tried all the above steps and your iPhone 13 screen is still not turning on, it’s likely that there’s a more serious issue with your device.
