Blank Grayish White Screen HELP!!! PLEASE!
I just bought my black macbook yesterday. I installed all the updates and when i restarted. it was installing the updates. But when it got to mac 10.5 there was an error so it didnt install. so it restarted and when it started up it just started making three beep sounds constantly. And it sits in a grayish white screen with no picture. it does not start up. can someone help me?
Take it back to where you bought it and exchange it, as it's possibly a lemon right out of the box.

Curve 8530 White Screen, help please?
I have a white screen. It did not get damaged or wet in any way. I can hear my phone ringing, hear alerts and see the LCD indicator light flashing. I cannot press any buttons to answer the phone or see the screen. The screen will only turn white when charging and hooked up to the computer, it will not respond to any pushes of any buttons. My device is recognized by the desktop manager on my computer. I have done the update to 5.0 Bundle 1675. I have also done a back up. My supported networks are CDMA 800 and 1900. I have tried rebooting both by taking the battery out before and after updating to the new version. I have NO hourglass, just the white screen. Any ideas?
Hi
You've certainly been trying to sort it. Try my own method because it involves wiping the device completely. You have a backup so you should be good.
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

- 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.

You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.

I want to make all my caller id pics full screen how do i do that? When i download a picture from my phone it makes it full screen then it goes back to the small photo in the upper right hand corner how do i make them stay full screen help please:-)
@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Everytime when i slide down to my notifications, it freezes of what im doing, AND when i go to my messages, there's nothing and it's just blank. I Need help please?
The next best suggestion I have is to back up your device in itunes and restore the software back onto your device. It sounds like you might have had a error when downloading the software update.

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!

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. -

6300 - blanks to white screen and other problems
Okay, it's my first post here. I've had a 6300 for about a year, and lately (in the last 24 hours) it's developed a serious problem. I cannot access text messages at all ("Message storage memory not ready"), nor my gallery. If I turn it on and leave it for a while, even if it's in the middle of something like a call, it will eventually drop to a blank screen from which nothing works (even the power button), or possibly a "please enter time/date" screen which has the same problem of nothing responding. The only way to turn the phone off after this is to remove the battery, but subsequently turning it back on again is difficult, working about 50% of the time (the other 50% being a blank screen).
If a reset is essential, I'd like a way to do so without losing any messages (particularly those sent since the problem started, since I haven't been able to access them yet), but I understand if this is not possible.
I've tried restoring factory settings, but it often reverts to this white screen before that finishes, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!how many messages have you got in the phone
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Normal start up then a blank blue/white screen.............????
Apart from the fact that it was freezing before this happened, when I started my ibook up as normal it loaded normally, goes to the white screen with the apple symbol then goes completely blank.
No icons, nothing.
Really gutted about this - is this a connection problem? Any info would be a great help, thankyouFirst try restarting with the original install disc an run Disk Utility to repair the drive. If you have to re install the OS make sure you select archive and install or else everything will be lost.
