HELP! Curve 8520 screen is all white

Hi everyone...I'm new to all this.  I've had my BB for 8 months.  I did not really do anything special to my phone except turn it on and hide it from my 14 month old.  When I retrieved it, the screen is all white.  I can not do anything with it.  I am able to receive calls on it and I hear that I receive messages on it but I can not see anything! I can not do anything either, not even turn it off....I'm desperate!  I've tried soft booting and even a hard boot, but agian nothing is working.  I hope somebody here has an idea what to do........Thanks for your help and support!

    It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
    After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
    Good luck..!!!

  • My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

    My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
    I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
    I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
    When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
    I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
    The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
    My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iPad screen went all white when I was trying to close an app. I cant turn it off and iTune cant sync with it either.  Does anyone know what I should do to fix this.

    I have an iPad 2 that is about 2 years old and is in good shape. I was trying to swipe off an app when the screen went all white. I held down the power button to shut it down but it wont do any thing but go black. When I press the power button it come back all white with no icons and no passcode pad. Does anyone know how to fix this or what it is?
    Thanks

    TThanks for the suggestion but it turns out that you have to hold down the Home button, the Power button AND the Volume UP button at the same time for several seconds until,the Apple appears To fix the white screen of death. Found that on another help site. It works and boy an I glad. Pass it on.

  • HT4623 iOS7 downloaded and now my screen is all white

    I downloaded iOS7 and now all of a sudden my screen is all white, nothing happened to the phone during installation it literally sat right next to me the whole time. What do I do? My lock button is broken so I can't reset it.

    Hey aCasey,
    Thanks for the question. If you have not done so already, it may be appropriate to restore your iPhone with iTunes and reinstall iOS 7. If you have trouble, you can do so in recovery mode:

  • HT4583 my ipod screen is all white , how can i fix it?

    my ipod screen is all white and it won't do nothing , how can i fix it?

    Connect your iPod to iTunes and reset it if it dose not work   go to the genius bar at apple store  and they will give you a new one if you have a protection care or warranty if you don't they will give you a new one at a cost

  • My ipod nano was charged and now the screen is all white

    my ipod nano was charged overnight,  now the front screen is all white  i cannot see anything(playlists etc)   i have reset it and the screen comes back on but only for a minute  then it goes right back to a white screen....    what is wrong with this and how do i fix it?

    If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting are able to solve the problem, the issue is hardware related, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced or replaced.  The LCD screen may have simply burned out or wore out over time.

    It wouldn't also hurt to the let iPod's battery full drain. Then charge the iPod back up and go through the 5 R's again.

  • Problem turning the mac on, the screen's all white

    Hii, so my dad's mac book pro OX S Snow Leopard isn't turning on, well it is, but it's the screen's all white and then a blue file pops out with an interrogation sing.. We don't know what to do, any ideas?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My curve 8900 screen keep going white

    in need of some help my curve screen keeps going white after turning it on sum time it come on ok for about 10mins then it locksup and go white again will try any thing to sort it

    curtismartin50,
    We from what you have described there seems to be an issue with the software on the phone or the phone itself. You can try to address the software by following these steps below:
    1) Have you performed a hard reset, by pulling the battery out and waiting 2-3 minutes before rebooting when you place the battery back in?
    2) You may want to try upgrading the device software by downloading BlackBerry Device Software fro blackberry.com
    3) Have you performed a full "Wipe" on your BlackBerry Smartphone, you can do this by going to "Options" > "Security Options" > "General Settings" and press your Menu Key to choose "Wipe Handheld"
    Note that this will delete all data on your device and restore the unit back to factory defualts!
    Hope this helps

    My curve 8900 keeps getting a blank white screen & I don't know why..

    But I tried updating it last night (leaving it plugged in all night) & when I woke up the screen was blank & wouldn't work at all 
    PLEASE HELP! 
    Is it a screen problem? Or do I need a new battery? Or is it both?
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Here's my info:

    My phone has dropped many times but the blank screen hasn't shown up until a while after
    There is a line in the top right hand corner of the screen, like a really thin crack
    It came back on after plugging it in into my computer but the screen still goes white after half a battery bar is gone
    Please help me
