Changed rear housing but blank screen / error 1601

The rear housing had started to crack on my 3GS. This caused the power/sleep button to become intermittent so I decided to try and change the housing myself. Everything seemed to go back together fine but the power button still didnt work. I took it apart again, took the button off and just pressed the little button on the ribbon cable. it was still intermittent! during this i managed to snap the little prongs for the home button so now that doesnt work either.
After playing about for a while the screens now gone blank (not black..blank). my comp/itunes (windows 7) recognises the iphone as "in recovery mode and needs to be restored" i tried this but keep getting error 1601. ive followed the apple support pages...uninstalled itunes and reinstalled but nothing. tried running a script which i found to enter DFU mode which didnt do anything but to be honest im not really sure what im doing!
please help, its driving me crazy....

No, but I think there are a lot of very delicate connections and components inside the phone. There is a reason it's not considered user servicable. If you had a problem with a button, and you opened it up and re-assembled it and now the display doesn't work, I'd say there's a good chance that you broke something. Whether you intended to or not.
Maybe you can buy one with a physically broken display from e-bay or something and re-assemble a working phone from the frankenstiened parts.

Outlook mail being received but blank screen when I open the app

Outlook mail being received but blank screen when I open the app

This seems to be going on around here for a couple of days. I have seen several discussions about the mail app opening to a bank screen with different variations and issues after the blank screen appears. I wish I could say that my suggestion is the definitive fix, but I can't. Give it a try anyway and see what happens.
Close the mail app completely and reset your iPad. Not data will be lost.
In order to close the mail app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the mail app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPhoto blank screen error message

iPhoto opens with blank screen and error message "Your iPhoto Library is in use by another application or has become unreadable". Not in use by another application. Tried repairing, doesn't work. Reopened while holding down Option and Command, didn't work. Any suggestions?

Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Zen Micro just has a lit but blank screen? Help me pleas

I bought a 6 GB Zen Micro for my daughter for Xmas last year and now (not sure for how long but I guess several months) the battery does not seem to hold any charge and it will not turn on unless connected to a USB port. When I connect the player to an USB port the screen lights up, I get the Creative copyright screen for a second and then the screen is lit & blank except for the batter icon up top which has a flashing lightning bolt inside. The screen remains lit and that is about it. It stays lit for ever it seems, or at least until I unplug it. But even after that it will not turn on at all.
There is only one thing I can get the player to do but only when plugged into a usb port. If I hold the power button down for 5 seconds I get the Creative copyright screen followed by the Recover mode screen. I can select an option from the recovery mode and start the option but the screen eventually goes blank and dark.
Don't know what is wrong nor what to do.
It might be the battery, might be the player itself, don't know.
Any help is appreciated please.
Should also note that when connected to a usb port and my computer is on then Windows XP notices the Zen Nano as new hardware.
Thanks

Question hello and welcome to Apple Discussions,
I was given a IMAC g3 (the white and blue single unit computer) i think the ram was like 190 mb plus virtual 190.
The first thing we need to know is whether the CD loads by tray or a slot.

Blank screen, error msg on phones

Phase one of my client website project is done. We reviewed and proofread the production site on my server. I did not design a phone/tablet version yet (that's phase two).
I exported the final files from Muse and uploaded everything to the client's server (Yahoo Hosting). The site looks fine on my computer, but the client says he's not seeing the site on his phone. On my phone, I see an error message and noticed that the URL has changed to dudamobile.clientsite.
However, when I look at the site that's still on my server, I can see the site on my phone just fine.
I skimmed the discussions for problems similar to mine and tried a few things (and re-uploaded all files in the site a few times), but nothing has made a difference.
I am out of ideas beyond having a glass of Merlot and hoping for a solution via this forum!

I just wanted to check and and let you know what the problem was. I did not get a chance to upload the site to BC because I wanted to follow the trail of DudaMobile first. It turns out that Yahoo! had added the DudaMobile service to the client's account (for an extra $9 a month!) and the client had no clue what it was or what it did. When we disabled DudaMobile, the site appeared on smart phones. (Disabliing it requires some digging—you have to go to the "add extras" page and UNcheck the DudaMobile box.)
I still need to create a phone-friendly version of the site, but at least the screen is not blank! Thanks for your help with this.

My iPod touch 5 will not turn on, charge, is not recognized by computer or iTunes, will only be recognized when in recovery mode but then an error 1601 occurs and iPod then goes back to being dead and nothing happens

My pod is literally not breathing, no screen display no matter what, I've tried everything, wondering if there's anything I've missed :( please help

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

IPhone Working With iTunes but Blank screen

Hi there
My iphone died a feww eeks back. I plugged it into iTunes which told me it was in recovery mode. Pushed restore, waited and all seemed fine, iPhone appears in iTunes can add music, sync etc.
However the screen remains off. I can't see anything. Iy you dial the phone it goes straight to voicemail. Everytime i plug in it appears fine in iTunes but nothing can be seen on the screen.
Any ideas?
Ben

sveltejim,
When you restored your iPhone, did you set it up as a new phone? Also, do you use a case for your phone, and if so, have you tried removing it?
If those steps don't resolve the issue, it may be time to service your iPhone. You can do this at an Apple Store by reservation or by calling 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466).
To create an Apple Store reservation, visit: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Hope this helps,

Equium M40X-189 wont start up - Power comes on but blank screen

When powering on Laptop the power light comes on and the power supply fan comes on but nothing to the screen.
Then shuts down sometimes or blue power light stays on, then eventually turns off.
So frustrating, have no money for new one for daughter or to pay for an expensive repair, praying its a easy fix (but deep down no this will not be case).
Any help will be really appreciated.

Try reseating the Memory (RAM). Or if you recently installed more RAM, remove the extra module

ITunes sees original iPhone but Blank Screen?

My newer iPhone died, so I need to go back to my old original iPhone (it's a liiiiiittle tough to buy a new one right now). When I put my new sim card into the original phone and connected it to iTunes on my MacBook, it showed up under devices on the left hand side. However, when I click to see the contents and sync - it shows nothing. It's a blank white screen that just says iPhone.
All I can do is either eject the iPhone or rename it.
Help?

Apologies, I can't find a way to delete my post. Now iTunes is telling me that it can't back up my phone, and simply asks me to eject it and try again. And then it tells me the same again next time....

Error -8. Can iChat w/computer in house but not across the net

Hello and thanks in advance for any help.
I can initiate and carry on a Video Chat with another Mac in our house, but get communication error 8 almost every time I try to Video Chat to anyone across the Internet.
Here is my setup:
Time Warner (Road Runner). Most recent speed test was 6600kb down and 478kb upstream.
Toshiba PCX1000 Cable Modem (probably 8 years old)
Apple Airport Extreme (802.11n) router (1 month old)
Apple MacBook Pro (less than 1 month old)
I do not have the Firewall turned on on the Mac.
Have tried changing port to 443. Have changed all Quicktime and iChat settings to recommended changes in this forum.
Here is my most recent error log while trying to connect to appleu3test01 on AIM.

I am pretty tech savvy so this is particularly frustrating. Am willing to try any suggestions. Thank you very much for any help.

And as if it couldn't get any stranger, I was able to connect perfectly to the Apple test account (appleu3test01) as was my sister from her end. However, we still can not get a good connection.
Here is the error message we got this time. It is much different and has much more information (which I hope is a good sign).

First of all sorry if this topic already exists but I'm not sure if its the same problem. I have a dv6-2105so and dv9091ea. They are both bought in Sweden. They were working properly until a problem occured during turning on. When I try to turn them on they have a blank screen. Its black and there is nothing else. Sometimes an HP logo shows up and dissapears. Several months ago my computer would sometimes shutdown suddenly, usually when CPU usage is high. Dv9091ea didn't shutdown suddenly. Then few weeks later when I turned it on I got a blank screen for the first time. I tryed to turn it on moments later and it turned on normally, without any blank screen. But blank screen continued to occur more often and now I can't turn any of them at all. Thanks ahead.
