Blank white screen - can hear it but cannot see it!

hi wondered if anyone can help I have had my iphone for 4 weeks and when the battery went dead i had plugged it in to re-charge. On doing so the phone has just frozen ona white screen. I have tried turning it on and off and i can hear when messages arrive but i can see nothing.
it has frozen, help!!! thanks katy

Katy,
That happened to my iPhone once. It seems that a connector had come loose. No amount of resets or restores would help. It required a trip to my local Apple Retail Store where they replaced the screen and had me on my way in 10 minutes at no charge.

  • I can hear sound but cannot see anything on my iphone

    I was deleting apps so I had enough room to run the new update, and the screen just shut off. I can hear when I get phone calls, texts, etc. but cannot see anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Lorie,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If folks are reporting that they can't hear you when on calls, I would try the steps in this article:

  • Can hear video but cannot see it?  How do I resolve this?

    Why can't I watch certain videos on my laptop?  I can see thse on my iPad just fine. 
    This is one of the videos I cannot watch on my Laptop:
    http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/obama-mandela-cold-open/n44342/

    Well, since the iPad doesn't use Flash (it's incompatible with iOS), the video is probably HTML5... or you're using SkyFire on the iPad, and it uses "Server side" rendering fo Flash content if the video ISN'T HMTL5.
    Usually, video problems are caused by outdated or corrupted video drivers. Check them and update if necessary: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

    It sounds like you are trying to mirror your iPad to your TV using an Apple TV but don’t see the mirroring option. Please use the attached article for information on setting up AirPlay Mirroring.

  • I am not able to see toolbars, when I open a new window that window is not visible, if I open from bookmarks and there is music playing I hear it but canNOT SEE the websites.

    I am not able to see toolbars, when I open a new window that window is not visible, if I open from bookmarks and there is music playing I hear it but canNOT SEE the websites. I was able to get window open from the help "window" and open sites from there just not from new: window tab or bookmarks those stay invisible? I tried the help suggestions, safemode,etc.

    Hi CMorenoOT,
    This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. You'll want to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information.

  • TS4185 i can see and hear them, they can hear me, but not see me, why?

    I can see and hear them, they can hear me, but not see me on facetime, why?

    Ok,
    So when you look at your Preview it is Black indicating a camera is there and selected as no camera would not show a video icon and if from the Preferences would be a grey background and a no camera message.
    I see this is a iMac. Any chance it is a G5 one ?
    If so go to System preferences > Displays and make sure it is set to Millions. (Change it and change it back to be sure)

    Just FYI, diesel, per an agreement between Verizon and the FCC which allowed Verizon to buy additional spectrum, all Verizon-model iPhone 5, 5C and 5S models are already unlocked.

  • Creative Cloud is a blank white screen, can't download any apps, how do I fix?

    Hello all,
    PLEASE HELP!!
    I downloaded Ai as a trial version, then purchased CS6 on a 12 month.
    Now I'm trying to download other apps (tried Photoshop, Flash and Premiere Pro), however when I click 'download' to try and get the other apps Creative Cloud pops up and it's a blank white screen.
    Nothing happens, anthing to click NOTHING.
    I've tried shutting the computer down, reinstalling Creative Cloud. Even tried downloading the above programs as trial versions (to start with) but CC just keeps popping up with a blank white screen.
    How do I fix, or better still just get the apps I'm after?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Community!
    Rename the opm.db file.
    Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
    Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
    Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
    Launch Creative Cloud
    Thanks!

  • Od classic  all i'm getting on the display is a blank white screen, itunes recognizes it but is only displaying 127gb free even though it's empty and should be 148gb free

    after replacing both the logic board and hard drive on my ipod classic all i'm getting on the display is a blank white screen itunes recognizes it after a restore but is only displaying 127gb free instead of 148gb. the hard drive is a brand new 160gb the logic board came from a working 6th gen 120gb ipod classic

    Will,
    "I thought you bought the entire display and had two LVDS cables?"
    Right, but I mean I think the connector on the logic board might be detached/broken. When I tested the old display, I completely removed the new one, cables and all, and connected the old one with the original LVDS cable. So these symptoms are independent of the lcd/cables that I use.
    Yes that socket could be bad and this:
    Even the random distorted coloration on the cracked lcd was replaced by blank whiteness.
    would point to that problem. Did you try messing with that connector when it's powered up?
    I'm not sure I follow. By "completely black screen" I meant no backlight...
    Detached GPU a.k.a ball grid array ATi chip:
    -computer boots, with chime
    -distortions in color
    -flickering lines
    -cycling through red, green and blue
    -ultimately a blank screen (but still backlit?)
    I have an ATI 9200 GPU chip that failed in a way I call "black moving shadows"
    Detached U28 chip the Danes mounted a complaint about:
    -computer will not boot, no chime
    -loud constantly whirring fan
    Right that pin 15 I talked about. Relatively easy to solder back.
    -maybe will boot if clamped on left of trackpad, but with intermittent graphical distortions
    No there would be no graphic anomalies in this failure and clamping left of the track pad is a problem since that's where the hard drive is. The pressure should go on U28 as indicated in the Cory Arnold site better resolder pin 15.
    I guess I just want to get this all sorted out for posterity.
    OK. If you hit a wall you could send it up here and I'll take a look.

  • Non-responsive Screen - can move cursor, but cannot select

    MacBook Pro, OSX 10.10, cannot select or click on anything.
    Mouse or touch screen will move the cursor, but it's like the screen is frozen.
    Message on screen is "carbon coy cloner interrupted logout.  Cancel or Try Again."
    Control right arrow moves to next desktop  (there are five).  Cursor stays in same place on the screen.
    Removed HDMI connection to external monitor, and rebooted, but cannot click on login in names. 
    Can move to different login persons using arrow keys.
    Pressing  Return brings up login password box. typed in password.  Login successful.
    Using control-Left Arrow will slide over a different desktop.  In the first desktop, the there is an open TextEdit document into which I can type successfully.
    But I cannot move the document, or save it.
    What's happening?

    This has happened to me at least a half dozen times since I updated to 10.2.2 yesterday morning. Each time I have restarted using the power button. Basically, the same as you are seeing. The mouse moves but when I try to click to select, nothing happens. I can't even get the dock to pop up.

    have a project in iMovie and when I click on the space bar I can hear the audio, but the video remains black even though the thumbnails show images.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    You cant directly add the video object to the stage
    to add it on the stage add UIComponent to stage and add the video object to it

    I cannot reinstall GC because it's a native iOS app.  I've tried closing the app itself, along with the Settings app and restarting my iPhone several times, no dice.
    Any advice?

    Thanks very much to the other victims of this defect in iOS for sharing the fix which worked for me too.
    But how absolutely rediculous and pathetic that we should have to reset all setting and then go back and re-enter all preferences to fix this problem. This is far short of the quality expected form Apple.
    Flaws of this kind are exactly what causes corporations to fall from the top of their fields, and if not corrected to become obsolete. Are we seeing a glimse of things to come here?

  • FCP 7 - I can hear audio but not see the footage in the viewer or canvas

    Ive had a few problems with my final cut. Im working off my laptop with a monitor. My immediate issue is that I have been editing fine this morning and then all of a sudden I could hear the audio for my clips but I can't see the footage in the viewer or the canvas. I can double clip on each clip individually and see what the footage is however. I've shut my computer down a few times and its not fixing itself. Also a lot lately when I sit down to do some editing the footage flickers on one clip and wont proceed to the next clips footage but I can still hear the sound. I would LOVE some help with this if anyone knows whats going on? Sascha

    #15 White or Black Canvas or Viewer
    Shane's Stock Answer #15:  White or Black Canvas or Viewer
    Make sure the canvas or viewer are selected then go to VIEW>CHANNELS and set it to RGB.   It might be set to ALPHA.
    OR...
    Click on the drop down menu above the Viewer or Canvas and make sure that you are on IMAGE or IMAGE + WIREFRAME.
