Help! White screen and will not turn on again!

Can anyone please help?
My phone is suffering from the infamous white screen of death about once a day now. The only response I can then get from it is if I do a battery pull. When I return the battery the phone starts to reboot but never finishes and just turns off and is unresponsive to any buttons. The only way I have found to remedy this is by charging the phone. It then turns on as normal. I will make a point of noting that my phone is never out of battery when this happens. When I go to charge it, it starts off at whatever percentage of full it was previously on.
However, carrying around a phone charger and power source is a poor solution to this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey clmcguin,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I would suggest to do a clean reload of the device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
Thanks.

My ipod 4g has a frozen white screen and will not turn off, any advice?

My daughter's ipod 4th gen (only 4 months old, bought direct from Apple) suddenly has a frozen white screen and will not turn off. We cannot reboot it by pushing and holding the two buttons, even when held up to one full minute. When we plug it into the computer, the computer does not recognise it nor does iTunes, so we can't even do a full system restore. Help! Any suggestions of how we can reset to factory settings without using iTunes please?

- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try :
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod has a flickering black screen and will not turn on. What can I do?

I accidentally left my iPod in my car for a few hours. It reached about 80 degrees outside, so I am worried. It did not turn on at all. Afterwards, I let it cool down and it still will not turn on. I plugged it into my laptop (PC) and it still does nothing. If flickers between two shades of black, but it does not do anything. I am starting to think it may have affected the battery. I have been experiencing problems with it not wanting to turn on without being plugged in for months now, but I did not really do anything about it.
I need help. I do not know what to do, so any form of help will be greatly apreciated!

I was afraid of this, to be honest. I kind of figured that I broke it completely.
I no longer have a warranty on it because I have had it for about three years, so I do not even know if it is worth taking in or if I would be better off with buying a new one.
If I were to replace the battery, would that help with the display or would it still be flickering a black screen?
* Sidenote: I do not like that I am not too savvy when it comes to Apple products, so I apolgize if it seems like I am repeating myself or sound confusing.

My ipod touch is showing a white screen and is not turning off how do i fix this?

my ipod touch is showing a white screen and it is not turning off at all. can you help me please !

First, try to Reset your device:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

My I pad screen just went black for no reason and will not turn on again

My I pad suddenly went black and will not come back on with the on/off button.has any one have an suggestion as to the cause.

Firstly, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
If that does nor work, more sure battery I charged and if it still does not work go den the route of putting your device ino are cover mode -

1. Can you get it to light up doing a hard reset and holding the buttons down for at least a minute?
2. Is it charged up?
3. Is the USB power cable good?
4. Can you get iTunes to recognize using recovery or DFU mode?

Try holding both home and power buttons until apple logo appears (ignore on/ off slider) and then let go. No data will be lost. Wait for phone to restart

My ipad mini just stopped working and will not turn on again.

I tried holding the home and power buttons, but one of two things happen; either the white apple comes up (and shuts off) or the screen goes to the "iTunes" screen (and shuts off). What gives? It's charged to approximately 90% and I am right in the middle of an awesome

Ok, it is charged enough and tries to reboot but gives up. Try plugging it in with the wall charger and then try the reboot and see if it progresses past the logo. If it still won't restart, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

Help! White screen and will not turn on again!
