E530 blank white screen, mainboard + display replaced .... ?!

Hi,
my E530c had a visit from half a bottle of beer last november.
I immediately unplugged it, opened it up to dry a few days and got it clean with isopropyl alcohol.
Everything except the display ran just fine, perfect graphics output (Intel 3000 integrated) over VGA/HDMI.
The screen just shows a blank white screen (LED background working as well).
I gave it away for fixing to a local store. In the past 6 month they replaced the mainboard and tried an other display. Result: same issue as before. So I cancelled the contract and got my E530 (with new mainboard, old display) back.
As I couldn't believe this exchanged mainboard had the exact same issue as the (presumably) water damaged, I ordered a new display myself... still just the blank screen.
That the mainboard got replaced I know for sure, took pictures before giving it away.
What else could be the problem, display cable?
Power indicator, microphones and webcam are working.
I tried to test the continuity using a multimeter but it is nearly impossible to hit these tiny pins with the test points.
Anyone an idea what else there is left to try? Maybe a hint, where to get a cheap replacement cable (Europe/Germany)?
Thanks a lot

Is it just an isolated incident? Did you try restarting your com?

Hello all,
I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
What I have tried so far to no avail:
Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Changed the watch face to display.
Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
Regards,

Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.

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.

Display shows blank white screen

My daughters ipod is displaying a blank white screen..i called apple but they want $100 just 2 fix it... Any suggestions pls

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Help, iTunes store is displaying a blank white screen...???

I get nothing but a blank white screen when visiting iTunes-Store. It was working a couple of days ago. Does it have something to do with upgrading Flash-Player (I hope not)? Is anyone else having this problem?

I suppose when Apple decides that my money is important to them then they will fix this issue. I can view the iTunes store with much older versions of iTunes and Safari on several other accounts and computers in my house.

Sporadic Blank White Screen

My MacBook Pro 13inch mid 2010 (Nvidia 320M w/ 256mb, 4gb RAM, 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo) sporacically gets a blank white screen on both it and an external display. When this happens, closing/opening laptop has no effect, my only option is to restart. The laptop is currently running 10.9.2, but this issue happened before the upgrade. Laptop is in general sluggish (about 1Min Startup). Just now it had the same problem, but with a purple screen on the built in display.

Sounds like a problem with the graphics card, since it happens with an external monitor connected as well.
I'm afraid that your only course of action would be taking the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and having them run diagnostics on the machine. If it turns out that the integrated GPU is faulty the entire logic board will need replacing, which can be quite expensive.
Good luck,
Clinton

Blank White Screen Appears after deploying the form on server

Hi Experts,
We have one strange issue with the interactive form developed.
One of our end user is seeing a Blank White Screen with Red cross at corner when he opens the form in portal.
The form Layout type is ZCI and Display type in Web Dynpro is Native. THe user has Adobe 9 version and working on Internet explorer 6.0.
Kindly let me know how to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Phani.

Hello,
this happens when the activeX component is not installed for ACF forms. You say you have ZCI so that should not be the issue. I would recommend to try to open other PDF forms on the internet or offline using this users browser. I would re-install the Reader (well, I would use 8.1, because I´ve heard 9 has problems sometimes). And maybe try to install that activeX component. And... now it reminds me of... check his browser security properties, maybe he is so "secure" that he cannot see the form.

When I open safari I get a blank white screen.

When I open safari I get a blank white screen. When I open top sites, and choose google, the screen is still blank, with the search bar at the top a quarter full. If it does open, it suddenly becomes unresponsive and returns to that blank, white screen. I'v tried everything I can think of, but nothing works.
On a side note, everything from mail to iphoto to word works - just not safari. I'm using a mid-11 iMac 21.5"i5 running on mountain lion.
Also did I post this in the right place? I'm new to this.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
 ▹ Force Quit…
from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have problems, continue.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Quit Safari again. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. If there's a subfolder with the name "com.apple.Safari", delete it, even if it's empty. Quit Terminal. Close the folder. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Internet Plug-Ins
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

Zen vision M 30GB blank white screen

I have scanned the forum for a smiliar problem but I need more help.
My Zen vision M, 30GB player is a 2004 model, my Operating system is Windows Vista, 32-bit. I'm not sure what firmware I have on my player. As of last week, I have only a blank white screen; I have backed up all my contents and dowloaded the recovery tool with no result.
After contacting Customer service, they sent me to the forum to look for help or buy a new unit...just want to make sure there is no other recourse I can pursue.

A white screen can not be repaired it must be replaced. It is a hardware issue not software. You can do it yourself. Purchase another screen & replace it. I have done this many times.

Exporting slideshows results in file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

When I export slideshows the result is a file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

Usually when the phone shows just the white Apple logo, it indicates an issue with the system software that prevents the phone from finishing it's boot sequence. When this happens, you will need to restore the phone, which removes all data and replaces the system software with a fresh set.
Since the phone is not seen in iTunes when it's in this state, you will have to put it into DFU mode for iTunes to see it.
To put the phone in DFU mode:
- make sure the phone is connected to a computer with the current version of iTunes on it.
- hold the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously for 8 seconds.
- let go of the sleep/wake button and continue pressing the home button. The iTunes screen will show a short progress bar then show a dialog box stating that an iPod was detected that is in recovery mode.
-click OK
-click the Restore button in the middle of the iTunes page
After the restore the phone should be back up and running and you can sync your data back.

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen.

Margie
Thanks for the replies.
I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
Could you explain what you mean by
and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
More later.

You Tube videos don't play. The site comes up, but a blank white screen where the video should be.

When I try to play videos from You Tube, I get a blank white screen where the video should be. When I go to full screen the whole screen is white. Originally the white screen happened on the expanded view only.
IE doesn't have the problem, but Google chrome and Firefox 4.0 do.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
