I dropped my iPhone 3G and now there is a white screen that will not go away.. what can I do to fix this?

Okay so I dropped my iPhone 3G today and ever since it has been stuck on this white screen that has stripes on it. I have tried holding the home button with the up volume and the power button for a while and that didn't work. I also tried just the home button and the power button. I also tried taking it apart to see if something was loose but nothing was. PLEASE HELP I don't want to get rid of my iphone!

Applecare+ for iPhone covers two instances of accidental damage for a fee of £49 per claim (in the UK).

If you don't have Applecare you can usually get a refurbished unit from an Apple Retail Store cut price - though they may not have any 3 models in stock and you may be 'forced' to upgrade to a 3GS.

  • Just loaded lion software.  Now java scripts will not run.  What can I do to fix this

    Just loaded my MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.1 software.  Trying to add printer and the script does not work for loading the drivers and software for that printer.  It goes through the script then says it successfully loaded but asked me no questions about the load during the process.  It appears that the Java script passes right through.  Is there anything I can load to fix this problem.  I also tried to use my internet stick which loads software to select and use this stick.  It does not work either.  What can I do to fix this???

  • I recently downloaded Firefox 4 and now everything I send to my printer comes out jumbled. What can I do to fix this? Was able to print fine with 3.6.

    Print is scattered all over the page(s). There is no real pattern to the jumble. Didn't have this problem with the older version. I use a Canon printer on my wireless network.

    There is a bug involving printing in beta 12, this is fixed in Firefox 4 release candidate which is due out soon.

  • Dropped my iPhone 4s and now there are lines across the screen?! Help!

    Hey everyone!
    So, I have recently dropped my iPhone 4S and now there are all these blue vertical lines across the screen, which occasionally change colour also.
    I am still able to receive messages and calls, and siri still works, it's simply that I can't see a single thing I am doing- which is very difficult!
    I was wondering if this is an issue that needs to be fixed at an Apple store- and if so, how much it would cost? Or if I would be able to fix it myself somehow.
    N.B: I've tried to reset it, it doesn't work. I have also tried to restore the iPhone, but iTunes won't let me do this as I have to have the 'find my iPhone' app turned off, which I cannot do because I can't see anything I'm doing!
    Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
    Kirstoodles.

    Yes. It's broken. A replacement will cost you $199.

    The iPhone is not user servicable. Apple does not sell parts for the iPhone. any parts you could get are either stolen, counterfeit, or salvaged.  Atempting to fix it yourself will render it unsupportable and forfeit your right to service from Apple, including an out of warranty replacement.

    You are sure the mute switch is not on?
    The mute switch is at the left side above the volume buttons. If it's red/orange then mute is on.

  • Horrible product , I have everything mac and this is my biggest disappointment. I have taken it in 3 times since march and again 1 week ago and now voice over even though turned off will not stop talking I can't even listen to music !!

    i have reset everything and voice over still won't stop . Iv turned it off it has never been turned on .
    THis his by far is the worst apple
    product I own and I own over 7 different products Just me alone in my house there are numerous more .
    i now for the fourth time since March have to bring the product back to apple and have it looked at . That's hours at times that I spend there due to lines , as a full time worker and student I do not appreciate the hassle of continuously having to fix this product . Lat time I went in I asked the service representative to provide another product and I would pay the difference in fees. She just wrote a note saying " if I come back again to to give a brand new product , less then one week later I'm returning with my product and hope to get what I was promised .
    I Have never been so disappointed in an apple product and recommend no one ever buys it .  Invest in a different product .

    I have the same question what time did you chat ? Just because you were speaking with someone that is representing Verizon does not mean you were speaking to a "Customer Service" agent. Customer service is only open during specific hours. After those hours the only people online is the Online Sales Department. It is very possible you were chatting with the sales department.

  • I have a album purchased on itunes downloaded to my iphone that will not play back, what can I do?

    I have a album that was purchased from itunes downloaded on my iphone that will not play back, any suggestions?

    You can replace the back glass or get a case.  There are many iPhone repair centers... Google for one.  You can also try the Apple store... I've heard they will replace the back for about $30.

  • Someone else living in my house created their own apple ID, and since then all the music in my library is gone. What can I do to fix this?

         I have tried seeing if there are any other systems in the library. There are not. I have been able to get back all the songs I downloaded off of Itunes, but there are a lot more from CDs that are missing.

  • My computer says firefix is running....I can not find it and when I click on the icon it will not open. What can I do?

    I can not get firefox to open when I click the icon. A box appears and tells me firefix is running but I can not find it anywhere. I have tried to delete it and everything else I can think of and it will not open. Please tell me what I can do.
    Thank you Lisa Brown

    I used to have this problem on my old XP computer, too. The easiest way to fix it is to restart your computer. Use Shutdown and restart. This will stop the firefox process that is hanging and won't show up on your screen.
    If you are somewhat computer literate, you can look at all your running processes by pressing Ctrl Shift Esc all at once using the three finger salute. Look at the list of processes to find firefox, highlight it, and select end process. Then go back and click on your shortcut to your firefox to regain control and display it on your screen.
    Be sure to upgrade to the latest version of firefox, Version 5. It works much better than previous versions.

  • I play KOC on fb and everytime I refresh I get this: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. What can I do to fix this?

    When playing my fb game KoC I need to refresh a lot and every time I do I get this message: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How can I disable this message?

    Just give us a means of opting out if we don't care about POST data; or opting out for certain web sites. We have an application that I use hundreds of times a day at work and as a result, I get that message hundreds of times. Opening new tabs doesn't help because I'd have to open numerous tabs, and then it takes time to figure out which tab is the "back" tab.
