How to fix a white screen iphone 4s?

Hello!
I've had a problem with my iphone for a while now. I dropped it at the beginning of November but it worked fine so I didn't change the screen yet. However it started turning off at around 30% now and I'm unable to turn it back on. I usually manage after about 20 minutes but it brings me a lot of stress. The screen goes white with thin lines going from the top to the bottom. It also shows water damage marks but that disappears when I manage to switch it back on. Restarting it doesn't really help much and I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't afford a new phone and this one is on contract. I know that if I go to apple they will want a lot of money for the repair. Please help me manage this somehow!

its possible that you damaged the internal hardware when it dropped. you can try a hard reset (hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until it powers down) and if that doest work, you can try a restore in iTunes. But most likely, it is damaged and you might have to replace it.

  • How to fix a white screen

    My ipad is displaying a totally white screen.  My device is 15mo old. It will not power down. I have tried pushing the power and button key together for 10 sec. The screen will go black for a couple of seconds and then back to white.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Any advice on how to fix a white screen?

    Within about 30 seconds of powering up cold the screen goes white. The computer seems to be working. I can eject a CD for example. On repeating the power up the screen may show a brief flicker of an image but then reverts to white. I tried resetting Pram, I also tried booting up from system CD. I then tried opening the Imac, cleaning it and pressing on the connectors in case a connector might be loose. Followed instructions from discussion board from someone who fixed a pink screen. However, in my case after putting the Imac back together the same white screen problem exists.
    Buy hey. my computer is clean even if I can't use it or get files off it.
    Any advice on what might be the problem?

    Perhaps your current projects contain some element that is tripping up the PDF playback.
    I would suggest you do some testing using the process of elimination method to narrow down why the current projects are not working in PDF.
    First create a new blank project with a few ordinary screen objects, publish to PDF and then test to ensure that there's nothing wrong with your Captivate installation per se.  If those work, then try the methodolody outlined in this post to hide slides until you find the reason:

  • How to fix the white screen

    i have a blackberry curve 8520. since yesterday it is stuck on a white screen, though the green light is flashing. Only the screen isint working but i do get notified if i receive a message or a call and i can call someone through the device as well. what can be the possible problem? i tried removing and re-inserting the battery but it was of no use.
    please help me asap. 

    Try to Reset your device, using the proper method.
    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).

  • How to fix a blue screen iphone 5s ?

    Just had that blue screen today on my iphone 5s.
    I wasn't using Pages, Keynotes, etc.
    Just a normal use of my iphone.
    Blue screen and I then got that "connect to iTunes".
    My only choice is to restore my iphone ?
    If I do so, I'll lose all the pics I took today. And photostream can't help me, as this pb occurred 5 min after I got home. No time to fully sync my photo folders on my other iDevices.
    What can be done?
    Thanks a lot,

    This could be hardware related and you should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider/Apple Store or by contacting Apple Support. Maybe your battery needs to be replaced, they can check the battery life online.
    You can also visit this page to do that: iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
    Click on Apple Support, then on ->Battery, Power &Charging ->Battery questions and troubleshooting, and follow the instructions.

  • How to fix the white screen of death

    Hi I have been having trouble with my imac that was bought in 2009. I was working on a project when my imac froze. I turned it off and turned it back off but then it showed a screen the color of sky blue. I left it on the whole day then turned it off for the whole night. Once I turned it back on it showed a screen with a file sign and a blinking question mark.
    Please help me

    Sounds like a hardware problem, run Apple Hardware Test (Google it) in Extended Mode at least 2-3 times in succession. If you get any error codes you have confirmed its hardware which means there is nothing we can do to help on a user forum. It would mean a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

  • Fixing the white screen

    Can anyone help a tech illiterate broke single mom that can't afford a new computer to help fix the **** white screen of death that haunts my screen?

    There has been three people here with your issue today, this is very highly unusual and hope it's not a start of something.
    I'll say the same to you as I did the other two
    OS X is not loading for some reason off the drive.
    Normally you would see a gray screen with a spinning circle, but the gray screen splash is held in EFI firmware someplace and loaded first.
    You'll have to run through this list of fixes, see how far you get to resolve your issue yourself, or have to take it in for service/repair.

    I need to fix a broken screen. iPhone 5 any ideas?

    Contact Apple support at the appropriate number from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask about possible screen replacement being offered in the UK for the iPhone 5...in the US that is only done on the iPhone 5, and not at all Apple stores at this time.  Only certain ones are doing so.
    If that is not an option, an out-of-warranty replacement for the iPhone 5 is $229 in the US, convert to Pounds Sterling.

  • TS1424 how to fix error 21 my iphone doesnt work what should i do????

    how to fix error 21 my iphone doesnt work what should i do????

    Hello,
    I found this article that should help you out:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    It says the following about Error 21:
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Hope that helps,
    David

    i have a problem 3194 how can i fix this white screen

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw
