I got white screen on my iPhone 3G

Hi I got white screen on my iPhone 3g. I did research on internet and tried to restart it by holding home button and power button including sometimes volume up. I did 10 times differently but nothing happened. after a while I don't have even white screen anymore just black. Iphone in general works I can find it with itunes restore backup etc. Does any one had the same problem if so did you find out how to fix it?

So I have the same issue. Phone white screen. Reboot as you describe and it absolutely works UNTIL the phone goes into SLEEP mode. As soon as it does, either on its own or b/c I hit the sleep button, it wakes right back up with the white screen. If I don't let it go back to sleep the phone works perfectly so it is not a hardware issue. I have restored, rebooted, upgraded, restored, rebooted. All white screen all the time after it goes to SLEEP for the first time. It only happened after I upgraded to 4.0. Now I am stuck. HELP!

  • I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail

    Why do I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail?

    This could be the result of a few different things.  A damaged LCD screen, corruption in the iPod's software, or a loose LCD ribbon cable.  If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not take care of the issue, then the iPod likely needs to be serviced.

  • I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

    I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

    Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
    With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!

  • ITunes has a white screen on my iPhone 5

    ANyone know how to fix the white screen in iTunes on an iPhone 5?  This is happening on my phone not my Mac. Thanks!

    Yep I have the same problem. Started yesterday and I have the dreaded white screen on my iPhone 4S when I try to open iTunes, strange because my iPad is fine. Tried the date thing with no success. Apparently it is a software/server issue that apple are dealing with!!!

  • How do I get rid of a white screen on an iPhone 3GS?

    My iPhone 3GS was running low on battery so I plugged it into my car charger.  I checked on it a few minutes later and when I pressed the Home button, only got a white screen (like a flashlight app but don't have one).  I tried to power it off, but couldn't.  When I got home, I plugged it into my laptop and it synced as if nothing was wrong but I still have a white screen.

  • My ipod touch 4th keeps turning off with a full charger by its self got white screen and was frozen for hours and the volume rockers wont work some most ??

    Try this to get it working
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

    If you get it working, then restore to factory settings/new iPod. If you still have the problem then time for the Genius Bar.

  • White screen of death iPhone 3GS 16gb

    My iPhone 3GS displayed the White screen of death and was told to restore my phone but iTunes said there was a problem and now my iPhone won't turn on at all.

    That happened to me once and the only was is to fix it is to use recovery mode.
    1. Connect your USB cable to your computer but NOT your iPhone.
    2. Turn your phone off.
    3. When your phone is off, press the home button and connect your iPhone to your computer.
    4. Your iPhone will turn on and keep pressing to the home button. iTunes logo will appear on your screen.
    5. You can start your restoration progress.
    Hope this helps. Thats is how I saved my phone. It also seems to me that the phone you are using right now may had been jailbroken and stopped working.

  • I have a white screen on my iPhone.  I've reset it and have also done restore through iTunes.  Didn't work.  Was wondering if i restored as a new phone will i loose my contacts

    i have a white screen on my computers.  I tried resetting it and it worked for a few minutes until it was put to sleep and then went back to white screen when i turned it back on. I tried resetting again and it did not work.  I then did restore for itunes.  it didn't work.  was wondering if i did restore, as a new phone set up in itunes will i loose my contacts.  just want to make sure before i try in the event i have to buy a new phone want to be able to have the information to transfer.

    restoring as new does just that.  It will wipe your phone clean just as if you just bought it.
    If you've been using your iPhone as recommended, you've been synching your contacts to your computer to a contact manager such as Outlook or Address Book, or you've been synching your contacts with a cloud service like MobileMe or Google.  Your contacts should be safe in one of those locations.

  • White screen crashes my Iphone 5 TIMES IN ONE DAY!!!

    Hi everyone,
    I have had my Iphone for roughly 3 weeks and encountered this problem (white screen crash) within a few days of my purchase, at first I was worried because I wasn't aware of how common it was on the Iphone software, but today I have had it happen 3-5 times which is worrying me again, please can anyone advise me on what I should do? I have the latest update, I also have removed some recent apps that may have caused the problem. I am now thinking I should take my Iphone into an apple store and ask for a repair, is this the best thing to do?
    Has anyone also experienced the white screen crash roughly 5 times in one day?? Just trying to establish if it is common for this to happen 5 times in one day
    Thanks and much appreciated,
    Sincerely,
    Chris

    I've owned iphones since the first one was introduced & have never experienced a "white screen crash".
    Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
    1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
    If no change, continue:
    2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
    If no change, continue:
    3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
    If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store, as you most likely have a hardware problem.

  • White Screen on 3G iphone

    My daughter decided to throw my phone across the store tonight. When I picked it up the screen was white. I turned it off and turned it back on and the screen was white with black lines down the right side. I tried to reset the phone by holding down both buttons, but could never get anything more than the white screen.
    Do you think my phone is toast and I need to buy another one? Or, do you think there is a way to salvage it?
    Thanks!

    You can try the basic troubleshooting steps but I suspect there is hardware damage requiring repair/replacement at an Apple Store Genius Bar. Out of warranty replacement is $199
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore in iTunes using a backup.
    3. Restore as a new iPhone.

  • Iphone 3gs not getting on only white screen is seen, iphone 3gs not getting on only white screen is seen

    my iphone 3gs is showing only white screen. Continuous pressing of home button only voice control is enabled. Nothing except white screen is visible.Please guide it to recover.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds oh holding both buttons. If still problem. Try DFU Mode Restore. DFU Mode. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

  • Got white screen with big Mac HD icon in center with arrow below.

    turned computer on this morning got this screen as described above.....
    then a few seconds later I got the regular desk top and have had no problems.
    Ideas as to why it started up with that mac HD icon?   Never seen that before...      No start up problems in the past.

    Go to the flag up on the right side of your Menu Bar and select Show Keyboard Viewer.
    Then start testing some keys including the Option key and watch the Keyboard Viewer to see if any are stuck or sticking.
