Help! 3G works then has white screen green lines

This all started after i squeezed the top portion of the phone a bit too hard. I didn't think it was so serious since the phone booted up fine and worked for fine for that day and then maybe in the evening or the next day it was going through kernel panics and reboots after a little while while using it.. (like making a call).
Then it got worse by freezing in the OS if not booting itself up again. I would see a white full blank white screen and then later green vertical lines on the right of the whole screen.
But IF you say it is the LCD, how is it that it CAN boot up (maybe after some check disks attempts and an extra reboot) and the LCD works well. I even managed to retrieve my addresses book from the file system and back up my recordings and some music. HOWEVER then after a short few minutes it begins to lose connection to the PC and shows that familiar white screen.
I am prompted to do a restore in itunes, and i did attempt to do a restore to its current 3.1.3 iOS in both recovery mode and DFU but itunes tells me error 21. And the itunes diagnoses says it cant detect an device.
That about covers the behavior of this phone.. any one know what could be wrong??
Can a bad battery cause all these possibly? I have one i ordered to put into it prior to all this.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Have you tried connecting the device to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it? See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

  • My Mac suddenly has white screen and lines through it

    My sons Macbook Air has a white screen this morning when he turned it on with colored lines through it.  What does this mean?  Why did it happen? How can we get it fixed?  Please someone help!

    Hey bwzdragon,
    If your iPad will not start up completely, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • Power Mac G5 on start up it repetedly has white screen with circling icon then just switches off

    Power Mac G5... Pleas Help!!! i'm not sure if my hard drive is broken but on start up it repetedly has white screen with the circling (doing somthing) icon then just switches off. If i press alt when switching on i get a grey screen with 3 icons, 1st is like a refresh arrow button & last is a straight arrow button on pressing either of these mac just starts the white screen thing again, the middle icon is a picture of a hard drive with a blue cross in the corner & written under neath it says macintosh HD. Does this mean my hard drive has gone?

    Been there, done that.  Try a Safe Boot (holding down the shift key at boot) and see if it boots.  If it boots, then you may be having problems with either the power supply or the video card.  What video card is in the machine?
    If it does a safe boot OK, then we can troubleshoot using a verbose boot.  Verbose boot puts up a Unix Console screen and displays text output during the boot process.  When I had these symptoms, verbose boot showed me that the power supply was clicking off right after the kext to drive the GeForce 6800 card loaded.  I replaced the power supply and the problem went away.
    To initiate a verbose boot, hold down the  cmd-V combination until you see the console screen come up.  Watch the output and pay attention, because you need to remember what is being said when the machine shuts down.  You may need to repeat this two or three times.
    As an aside, often times power supplies exhibit this behavior when they have become choked with dust.  This is pretty universal after five or six years, requiring that the power supply be removed and the dust blown out with clean shop air.

  • Bb9860 boots upto 75% and then goes white screen plz help.

    halo my BB9860 boots upto 75% and then goes white screen. i tried BBMCP by the time it detects my PIN the seek bar goes quarter unable to factory reset, BBSAK does recognize device at all. i am very helpless, please help me.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes!

    When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes! Please help!

    The iPod crashing when editing a photo is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1.
    For the other problem.
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Ipod has white screen

  • My ipod nano 6th gen has white screen

    please help my ipod nano 6th gen has white screen and wont go away, ive put into disk mode (dfu) and restored on itunes and still no resolution....ive tried hard reseting and still nothing

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Hello. When I connect my imac Start, as usual, comes the start signal and then the white screen with the load signal then nothing happens. What could be the problem?

    Hello. When I connect my imac Start, as usual, comes the start signal and then the white screen with the load signal then nothing happens. What could be the problem?

    Presuming you get the chime, most of your Mac hardware is working and has passed the first part of the power-on self-test.
    If the screen comes on, basic graphics is working.
    The dark gray Apple is not present inside the Mac -- it must be loaded from a boot device. If the dark gray Apple appears, at least one of your boot devices has some capabilities. The flower petal/gear moves while Darwin is initializing and loading. If it stops immediately, something is terribly wrong.
    When the screen turns blue, Mac OS X has loaded and your graphics card transitions to Interrupt-driven operation. LoginWindow task draws the login screen, and Mac OS X is ready for login.
    What could be the problem depends on where in the process it stops, and whether the power light is blinking.

  • An error message pops up saying cannot connect to itunes store then a white screen behind it says Your request produced an error [newNullReponse].

    When i try and access my app store and click on categories and top 25 an error message pops up saying cannot connect to itunes store then a white screen behind it says Your request produced an error [newNullReponse]. I have Tried resetting my iPhone  logging out and logging back into my apple account ive tried changing the dates but it doesnt work. I dont have a phone to call apple support so how do i fix this please help! Thank a lot !!

    Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Also, if that doesn't work, try this:
    First you need to create another App Store iTunes account with a different country. (If you're American, do Canadian and vice versa)
    When you sign out then sign in under the new account, it will say that your account only works in USA and to change the store. Once it does that your top 25 will be changed back to top apps and you'll get no more errors. Then you can change back to your normal account.
    You can create another account free. Do it through iTunes on your computer or Mac. Change the country at the bottom of the App Store. Try and download a Free app. That way you don't need a credit card.

  • Red light for about 3 seconds, then a white screen with a sandclock = continuous (8310)

    Hey everyone. I'm new to this whole Blackberry talk, so I'll try to go into as much detail as i can with my problem!
    I bought this from product from somebody on the internet. Well, my phone was just on my desk earlier today, working perfectly fine, when all of a sudden the screen became black, and the light at the top of my phone stayed red for about 3 seconds. The screen would then turn white afterwards and the sand timer would be there, and that would happen for about 5-10 seconds, then it would turn black and the red light would appear, then the white screen with the sand timer. Therefore it's repeating itself.
    From what i've tried to understand, I have taken the battery out of the phone for a good amount of time, 15 minutes, and yet nothing. When i always put the battery back, it automatically goes to the black screen with red light.
    I've also tried to push the reset button at the bottom left beside the battery, and that doesn't work either.
    I don't have the slightest clue on what OS, and how to use the desktop manager either.
    If someone can help me with this, I'd totally appreciate it!
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop CS4 - When I pullled up a file, JPEG logo someone sent to me, the screen has cross thin green lines over it. What is that? How do I remove it?

    Photoshop CS4 - When I pullled up a file, JPEG logo someone sent to me, the screen has cross thin green lines over it. What is that? How do I remove it?

    JPEG files are not layered files they are just image files so the green lines are a part of that file.
    Usually cross lines are added to prevent anyone from using the file without proper rights, its a way of safeguarding the artwork.
    You have to ask the owner of the file to remove the lines for you.
    hope this helps
    thanks
