White screen iPhone 3GS HELP!!

Hi, i restored my old iphone 3gs, and when it finished, i figured out the screen was totally white. it also gives me the error 29 whichi i think it is because of the baterry but with the original baterry, it still did the same (not error 29. the screen)
if i buy a 3GS battery, and restore again, will my screen go back to life? or is my screen damaged by some X reason?
THAAAAANKKSS!!!

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    My Ipod 3rd generation wont turn off and is showing a blank white screen someone please help! xx

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    I have iTunes U on my iPad mini. It won't open any power points on it and when I do it's just a white screen. This just started happening about an hour ago. I need this for school so please help

    I have the same problem with the store.  I click the link, and it looks like the store is loading.  However, all I get is a white screen.
    Also, my new Iphone 4s will only get to "step 2 of 5, backing up iphone."  I left the phone connected to the computer all night, and when I woke up, it was still at the same spot, with no progress made. 
    I've uninstalled, everything from apple, rebooted the computer, and then re-installed the latest itunes.  Still nothing.

  • Problem updating iphone 3gs help

    just tried updating my iphone 3gs it was interrupted and now the phone screen has locked saying "setting language" and none of the buttons are working
    my computer is not recognizing it either.. help would be appreciated

    Hi tobster99,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Curve 9300 White screen problem, PLEASE HELP!

    Hi guys, so basically, I've been having this problem for a little while now of which my phone freezes at a random stage, white screens with the red LED light ON and reboots itself. I have tried several things from this forum so far.
    I have backed up the phone on desktop manager
    I have re-installed the OS twice now, (downgrading OS's)
    I tried to use the phone without the memory card or SIM in, I used an app called 'kik' for a little while, but eventually as suspected it froze, white screened and the issue persisted.
    I can easily text one person on the phone, but as soon as I receive a text as I'm typing it freezes the phone, white screens, reboots. Back to square one.
    Something you may need to know is that a while ago, I was in a storm, the phone did get slightly wet, and it did actually stop working. I placed it in a tub of rice for the night, and hey presto it worked again, was happy with that, but from just about a few days after it was working fine, it started doing this.
    Is it the water damage creating this problem, if so would a repair store be able to fix this problem for me?
    The phone is in a tub of rice again right now, doubt it'll make a difference though.
    YOUR FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, THANK YOU!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    While the rice trick is good, only waiting 8 hours ("for the night") is dangerous...typically, waiting 5 days in the rice before applying any power is needed, and even then there are no guarantees. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
    From what you describe, I would deduce that the 24 hours in the rice was not long enough, and corrosion continued internally, exacerbated by the application of power, eventually resulting in complete failure.
    As for if anyone can fix it...at an internet distance, that is impossible to say. Only in-hand evaluation by a qualified BB hardware technician can provide you with a proper evaluation and estimate.
    Good luck!

  • The infamous white screen - can you help?

    A friend edited a video with Final Cut Pro and then exported to Quicktime format so that I could watch it on my laptop. But when I play it in Quicktime, I can hear the sound but only see a white screen. When I double click the file, Quicktime opens and up pops a message:
    "Some necessary Quicktime software is missing. etc etc"
    But once I am taken to the Apple site, I have no idea which of those codecs I need to download.
    If it helps, the clip I'm trying to watch is 1920x1080 and under 'codecs', the following are listed - HDV 1080i50, Integer (Little Endian), Timecode.
    Any advice as to how I can watch this clip in Quicktime?
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Quicktime 7.1.6

    The FCP export used video codecs not supported outside that app. Meant for one FCP user to another.
    They should export using H.264 Video codec so any version 7 user could view the file in QuickTime.

  • White screen iPhone 3G

    Hello
    a few months ago my dad dropped the iPhone, glass was broken so I sent the phone to ISN-service for repairing the glass. When I got it back, the phone worked perfectly, but after a few hours the only thing I get is a white screen.
    I mailed back, and now they replaced the whole LCD screen, still no luck.
    Yesterday, I tried again to restore the iPhone and it works! iPhone was working perfectly, but today again I encountered the white screen.
    How can I fix this? It must be sofwarethingies I think, because the iPhone has worked multiple times.
    Thank you

    I opened up the iPhone a few minutes ago, and there was a cable disconnected. I connected it, and now my iPhone works.
    thanks

  • Iphone 3gs help needed

    I have a iphone 3gs on AT&T and I updated to IOS 5.1.1 a week ago and my phone freezes at the lock screen and when I go to turn it off I can't even do that, I've tried resetting it multiple times and it doesn't do any good.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have tried ALL the troubleshooting steps recommended and you still have the issue, then there's nothing else you can do.  Bring the phone in to Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

  • All I see is a white screen... (help please)

    I got my ipod nano this october and it worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. I turned my ipod on and it shut down and when I turned it back on again all I got was a simple white screen, nothing else. It's been doing that for about three weeks now. I've tried EVERYTHING The 5 R's everthing, nothing seems to work. I even just let it sit and not be used for a week and it still hasn't worked. It's really angering me. My brother did not pay the money for an ipod for me that doesn't work. Somebody PLEASE, help me.

    See this.
    iPod 5th gen (with video) shows blank or white screen.
    It's not for the nano but worth a try.
    If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service.
    You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • HT1379 White screen of death help!

    I have the white screen of death, no word or symbols. I have a DVD in the drive and can't get it out so I can insert my startup disk to fix it. How do I remove it? Wireless keyboard and mouse.

    The icon you're seeing means that the Mac can't find your hard disk or read from it.
    Insert the first of the two recovery disks that came with your computer and hold C while you turn it on. This will boot from the DVD. From the menubar, choose Disk Utility and see if your hard disk is listed in the left-hand pane. If not, restart the computer and hold D this time. Run the Apple hardware test and see if it passes.
    If your hard disk IS listed in Disk Utility, choose "Verify Disk" and if any problems are found, repair it. Try restarting after that.
    If the disk is not listed, and the Apple hardware test fails, your hard drive has most likely gone bad and will need to be replaced. You can take the computer to Apple if it's under warranty and they'll do it for free or you can do it yourself by following these directions:

  • Error -1 iphone 3GS HELP!

    Hi there, i recently purchased an iphone 3gs 8gb from ebay and have found myself locked in a restore loop i have never seen before 'an unknown error occurred (-1)'. I have some knowledge of escaping error messages but this is one i have not heard of and can find no info regarding. The only way i am able to get the phone to turn on is to use tethered 5.1 redsnow jailbreak. Ironically, even then my reception remains 'searching......' before telling me i need to restore via itunes. The itunes restore literally appears to get all the way to the end before giving me the error message. I am totally stuck, any information regarding this error would be greatly recieved. many thanks

    Been told by the guy in the aple store that this is a very rare hardware fault which cannot be fixed....
