8800 presents with a white screen

When coming out of the holster or standby the screen is all white, suggesting a proper connection is not being made between the LCD and the motherboard. Did the same thing with the last LCD screen I put it, so I know that's not the case. Can anyone provide a list of places and possibly pictures indicating where I need to place electrical tape on the motherboard? It's a fix that works on the Pearl and Curve but the 8800c has a different layout. Note: all functions work properly, I get phone calls, receive texts, send phone calls, etc. Just can't see what I'm doing

  • My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working.

    My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working. It's only 3 months old and was working perfectly fine 30min before this happened.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

  • My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

    My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Nokia N70 starts with a white Screen.

    Hi all,
    My nokia N70 starts with a white Screen and does not go any further. It does not make any sound while starting. When i connect it to the PC it is not detected by the PC while the phone is on showing a white screen. I have tried performing a Hard reset using the *3 and the green key but it is not formatting either. I also tried updating the software but as the PC is not recognising the mobile connection the updater is not working either. I am using the latest PC suite.
    Please help...

    Remove the battery for at least 5 minutes and then replace and see if that makes any difference. Also try removing the memory card.
    If the above two don't work then try these.Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
    First try these
    *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default 
    *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    If still not working
    Then try the "3 finger deep reset". With the phone powered off, depress and hold these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone using the on/off button whilst keeping the three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone.
    This should ONLY be done if the device doesn't power up normally anymore and it wipes everything in the Phone memory that is not part of the ROM.

  • My imac starts with a white screen, then goes black and a small white line just blinks in the top left corner of the screen?

    My imac starts with a white screen, then goes to black with a small white line blinking in the top left corner of the screen. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Try starting your iMac with the original DVD that came with the machine then launch disk utility to repair your hard drive. 

  • My IPad Air is frozen with a white screen and Apple Logo on it.

    My Ipad Air is frozen with the white screen and apple logo.  I've tried resetting it several times and that doesn't help.  I tried connecting to ITunes, but it isn't recognizing the device. 
    The battery is fully charged, at least for now, so I am not sure what else to try.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • Can anyone help me with a white screen on boot, chime and unresponsive keyboard

    As stated in the title it boots up with a white screen and it chimes but i cant use any of the commands to get into the recovery or even boot from a cd or usb drive. I've taken out the hdd and put it back it and it doesnt seem to be the problem. Is there anyone who can tell me exactly whats wrong with it?

    A1286 isn't specific enough, I need more information for a exact model match.
    http://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1286
    If I know the exact model, then I can tell if  that came originally with Snow Leopard, we can install Linux.
    Would it be possible for me to format the mac hdd from my pc?
    Not with Windows, Linux might, but it would be a difficult.
    Mac's as you know have EFI, which is loaded from a hidden partition on the boot drive.
    Only OS X, their install disks (and 10.7+ Recovery HD parititon) can format the drive properly for a Mac to use, as they install EFI which the hardware requires for the at boot keys to be able to select Linux and install rEFIt in EFI firmware.
    If your Mac meets 10.6 qualifications, then the 10.6 install disk can be ordered, the instruction for creating a dual boot system with Linux Mint.
    Of course there is a problem, if the machine is too new, then hardware drivers to work with Linux might not have been circulating to use.
    Apple doesn't supply the hardware drivers for Linux or anyone, so it takes hackers to get them and they have to have Mac's. (they rather use generic PC's)
    Older Mac's pre-2011 I know where the drivers are at, on Ubuntu's site (Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu) however I don't know if latest versions of Ubuntu/Mint work with those drivers, I'll asume they do.
    Hardware drivers are important because the machine won't work well without them, like no Wifi, video screen options etc. one just gets the bare minimal use.
    Interest in running Linux on Mac's died when Apple released OS X 10.7, as the Recovery HD partition created a obstacle and Apple seems to be heading towards a closed system like on iPads and iPhones.
    Linux needs open hardware like generic PC's, and the trend from Microsoft is like Apple, closing up hardware from anything but Windows running.
    If you haven't installed Linux on a generic PC, I suggest you try that first as on Mac's it's the most difficult.

  • Need help with ipohne, white screen!!

      i got given a iphone and had to get the screen fixed on it so i bought a kit , but the only thing is when its turned on it only lights up with a white screen. you can touch the screen and it makes noises and so fourth but you cant see anything but a white screen, i have no clue what to do ... HELP PLEASE!!!

    Since the screen turns off see if:
    - Placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore via iTuns.
    - Next try DFU mode

    If you still have the problem the it appears that either the drop caused other damage or upi damaged the iPod or did something incorrect whenyou replaced the screen
    BTW, the white screen of death is when the screen turns white AND you can turn it off.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It looks like your MacBook Pro is restarting. Just hold the Power button until your computer turns off, and then turn it on again, so OS X should start properly
