Iphone 3G Screen just went all white- can not restore to home screen

Has anyone had this issue? If so can someone give advice on what to do?
The phone still works(I answered a call by luck) but the screen is all white and I can't get it to restore...I can't see anything on the screen so not sure what to do??
Help!

This just happened to a person in a chat room that I was in last night. Apparently, he read somewhere that if you slide your finger across where the "slide to unlock" slider should be (on the white screen), it can fix it. He did that, and it worked. Basically, you need to unlock it without being able to see the slider.
My iPhone is the original model, but I imagine that the slider is in the same position on screen, about a half inch up from the bottom of the display.

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

My ipod went all white. Icant turn it on or off. It just stays white

I was playing a game on my ipod when it went all white. the screen wont turn off. it just stays white. what do i do now?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

IPad 2 screen has just went all fuzzy and is moving as well as being unclear

iPad screen has just went all fuzzy is moving and unclear, very hard to use

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done

Reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

Let me know if this helps,

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.

My iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on

my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, any ideas??

Let it cool and then reset it... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

I have had this problem several times. The iPad comes off charging with a black screen and only a hard reset works to get it back. Then you have to go to settings to be sure nothing changed there.
I have had serveral hard resets and three restore operations and the problem recurs. I am not sure if it is the iPad2 or an app that is causing the problem. So far I can live with it as is.

See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
