White Screen happens sometimes. No total fix after rebooting.

I've been reading about the White Screen problem, and I didn't find solution to it. I also don't know why this happens. It started to happen without reason.
I tried rebooting holding both buttons for 10 sec. and it worked, but when leaving the iPod alone for a while, for about 8 hours, I touch it and see the white screen again.
What else can I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How to fix white screen of death on iPod 4g after screen replacement?

How to fix white screen of death on iPod 4g after screen replacement?

I would try to reset it before anything else. To do this press and hold the home and power buttons until the the white screen shows the apple logo (~ 15 secs.).
If this does not work then more than likely the LCD is damaged.
btw- The white screen is common after repairs. The reset fix works 90% of the time.

When I power up my mac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds of powering up the screen goes dark. Yet I still can the mouse arrow but nothing else.

When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?

Try this from another user:
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).

white screen appears instead of the wallpaper after starting up and all the funtions are working properly like the brightness and the vol

Hello again V.K,
I'm taking the computer to assistance as suggested. Even tho I'm almost 100% sure that this isn't a hardware issue.
Here is why I'm not wasting my time on my affirmative. I'm computer science bacharelor, I know about computer architeture and S.O architeture and also I'm computer developer for more than 10 years now. All behaviors presented have no connection with hardware problems. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not just saying things for saying, I have a logic behind what I say.
For a short example, whenever mouse right click stops working on a specific window/software, if I click on the window top border and drag it around and go back to the window content, the click works again.
Also, my keyboard and mouse work via usb. Usb is working normally. If I plug a usb memory stick it shows that usb is working as it should be.
On windows, right button click is also not working inside any software window, but if I click on start button, icons on desktop, anything on windows epxlorer, it works as it should be. Isnt't there bootcamp underneath windows ?
on top of it, it's a brand new mac, i have it for 5 months.
All these people that have the same problem, do u think all of them have hardware issues? Do you think Apple would keep releasing new computers with hardware problems and they wont have any information/recall for them? and worst, the problems start in a random date ?
This is my first mac and all these problems, being hardware or not, makes me lose all confidence on Apple products.

Curve 8520 - white screen, phone won't stay on after constant rebooting

My phone has been playing up for absolutely months because quite frankly I just don't think a Blackberry will ever NOT be faulty.
But basically the past week or so, the screen has been going white after some phone calls, in the middle of doing something on the phone or even when the battery reaches a certain point (usually when it has maybe about 2 and a half bars left).
Usually the screen would go black after this and if I put it on charge, it would reboot and the battery would be on red as if the phone had just died because of low battery.
But tonight has put me at my wit's end because AGAIN it gave me the white screen in the middle of a phone call, so I took out the battery and put it back in, it took 15 minutes to reboot, stayed on for about 30 seconds then turned off again. Then rebooted itself. And did the same. And this is a continuous cycle because it is rebooting itself for about the 12th time tonight. It won't let me do anything and it is absolutely infuriating. I have never been so angry at an inanimate object in my life.
Any ideas? I have a warranty so I can just get Orange to send me a replacement but it's so much hassle losing contacts and BBM contacts and such so I want to avoid having to replace it as much as possible.

For the last few days, right when I'm in the middle of something, the whole screen will go white and all buttons become unresponsive. My first thought was to do a battery pull which led me to the normal startup screen with the loading bar, however when the loading bar gets to around halfway, the phone powers off again. Won't switch on using the power button and battery pull just starts the same cycle again.
The first couple of times it happened, my battery had been quite low and I thought the power needed to boot up had just zapped what little power was left in the battery but last night my phone was on almost full charge and the same thing happened. The only way I can get the phone to then go on is if I plug it into my mains charger.
Hello emmer
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
From what you described , my assumption is the problem is within your battery or the battery is too weak ! before going for a new battery I suggest if you can barrow or arrange a good fully charged BlackBerry battery then test it on your device. The test will reveal and let you know if the problem is within your battery or the device itself. If device works well well within a good battery then you can simply order a new battery which will fix your issue .
If problem remains then it's a device issue and for that you can try a OS reload which might fix this problem .

OOB White Screen Of Death: Silverlight Installation required after each reboot.

Hi,
we are getting White Screen Of Death on few user's machine for last few months and a number of users is getting added from last month for the same issue. Earlier we were using the CleanSilverlight from the following site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2608523.
Now we have the following issue that requires immediate fix:
Whenever we apply CleanSilverlight then my OOB starts working fine but it start displaying same white screen after few days without any action (Installation/Uninstallation)
Whenever the system reboots then we need to apply CleanSilverlight and install the Silverlight once again on user's machine to work with OOB. It seems rebooting interferes with OOB application.
Both of these issues are very frequent from last one month. I don't know if any update to windows/browser is the root cause for the issue.
One the system is having the following configuration to run OOB:
OS name and version: Windows 7 32-bit
Browser name & version: IE 8 & Google Chrome 38.0.2125.111 m
Silverlight version: 5.1.30514.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards, Maddy

Hi,
Clean the corrupted Silverlight installation and reinstall the Silverlight should fix the issue:
As mentioned above it does fix the issue but sometimes its not permanent solution, It just pop up once again.
I don't understand why should we downgrade the version of the Silverlight. Its working fine after applying CleanSilverlight
and reinstalling Silverlight.
There must be something that's corrupting it. vize Antivirus, any new update etc.
Also I would like to know why the Silverlight is getting corrupted at all. Why do we need to apply CleanSilverlight?
Still looking for a proper solution.
Regards,
Maddy

Macbook (Airbook) screen flickering/fading into a white screen?! How to fix it?

Hi, I bought the computer in 2010 and have been using it without problems.
Lately it happens more and more often, when I'm using the computer, without attaching to other external screens or other devices (no power adapt connected too), the screen will suddenly turn white little by little and fade out to a whole white screen. While it happens, the computer looks freeze and screen has horizontal white flashing lines. I noticed that it's not related to the battery, either the battery is full or not full, it would happen. Then I have to try to move the lid up and down, then the computer display will turn back and become normal, i don't need to restart the computer or totally close the lid.
Looks like it may have connection problem between lid and the base? Or is it really the display problem? It may happen several times during the day if I keep using the laptop for a day. It's out of warranty, so will I have to give up on the laptop or have to pay an expensive fee to fix it or is it an easy thing to fix?
Thanks so much and I'm eager to know the answer.

If it were sudden, and not gradual, a stronger case for the problem being an electrical connection or cable issue. That the computer freezes may also be contraindicative of a display connection. I would more suspect the graphics subsystem on the main board and heating. You will need a more thorough diagnosis than can be achieved in this venue. I would suggest a visit to an Apple Store Genius Bar or other qualified Authorized Service facility.
If it is the main board, the cost could approach or exceed that of a replacement unit of the same. You may have to decide whether to repair with used parts, up to replacement with a new unit altogether.

White Screen: xf86-video-ati and Compiz After Trying fglrx? [SOLVED]

I have an ATI Radeon X1200 graphics card. I recently tired the ATI proprietary catalyst driver (and catalyst-utils) from the AUR. They did not work well for me, so I uninstalled them. I had run "aticonfig -initial" but, after removing catalyst and catalyst-utils I restored my old xorg.conf. For some reason, with xf86-video-ati set up again, compiz starts, but goes to a white screen. I can see and move my cursor. Everything functions normally, I just can't see anything. I right clicked my desktop and created folders as a test. When I rebooted without compiz, the clicks had been received and folders had been created. How can I fix this? I'm using Gnome (if that means anything). Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

White screen during shut down on iMac after installing maverick

After installing maverick my imac cant shut down and it stuck on white screen , and i have to push the turn on button every time to switch it off.
I have an imac with osx 10.9, 3,06GHZ Intel core i3 with 8gb 1333MHZ DDR3 ram.
Any idea what is going on and what to do to fix the problem?

Alos posted another place.
I have had the same problem, and connected it to a problem with Western Digital HD software. I use an external WD HD for time machine purposes.
I then uninstalled all the HD software, and it now seems everything works fine. You may try this. Ref this article:

White screen on my ipod touch still after 2 months :(

my ipod touch had fallen in the toilet 2 months ago it got fixed but after that 2 months working with it the white screen came back.
what should i do please help me??

You can try the white-screen topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Just wondering who fixed it? A white screen is a common symptom of a wetted iPod.

My ihone only displays a white screen and I want to fix it myself.

my iphone will only display a white screen can I fix it and how can I?

At this point, you probably be better off saving up for and purchasing a new one. Apple will not help you since you opened the iPod up. A third party repair company may be able to help but the cost will likely be near the cost of buying a new Nano.

White Screen, Apple Logo, Spinner on startup after failed software update.

Hi, so my Macbook was performing poorly this morning and I decided I would try to install updates. The updates started normally, but around halfway through the bar stopped moving and the text underneath it said, "Running Installer Script." I left it alone for about three hours, came back, and saw that it was still doing the same thing. I decided it was time to try to reboot, and foolishly held the power button down for several seconds until it turned off. Upon turning it back on, I discovered that it would only go as far as the white screen with the apple logo and the thing spinning under it for about 20-30 seconds, then the screen will go black and it will try to start up again. I started it in verbose mode and it gives the following errors before crashing:
disk0s2 i/o error 0 [level 3] [readuid 0] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [errtype io] [errno 5] [iotype read] [pblknum 233675120] [lblknum 540]

I haven't tried booting from the disk because my disk drive has been broken for a while and needs to be replaced. I assume this problem is my fault, but I would very much appreciate anyone's input on how to resolve it.

My iMac boots up and I login and then I get a white screen. How do I fix this?

My iMac boots up ok. I get to the login screen where I can select which user to login as, however once I've selected a user account (it doesn't appear to matter which one) I then get a white screen.
I don't know where to look to identify my exact operating system as I cannot get to the Apple icon to check About This Mac.
I have booted up in safe mode, recovery mode and done fsck -fy , it all suggests my iMac is ok but I still get the white screen. Does anyone know what I should try next?

Does it boot okay in the Safe Mode and can you access the  menu there to see what OS you are running? While in the Recovery Mode, did you try running Disk Utility Repair Disk and Repair Permissions?
Startup - Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar

White Screen happens sometimes. No total fix after rebooting.
