IPhone 3Gs screen has lost color

It doesn't appear to be a "White Screen of Death" because I can barely see the screen images. The phone is functioning with the exception of the color being almost gone. Any ideas?

Attempt a Hard Reset initially (Holding both the Home Button & the Sleep/Wake Button for 5-10s until you see an Apple Logo appear and then let go letting the iPhone boot up).
If this is not successful you will need to attempt to Backup & Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings to confirm if this is a Hardware fault or not.
If the issue is still present when the iPhone is at Factory Settings then this will confirm Hardware and you will want to either A) Contact Apple Support for Repair Options or B) Head into an Apple Retail Store

  • My 3GS screen has frozen help?

    My iPhone 3GS screen has frozen. This is the 2nd time it has done this but I cat remember how to fix it. Help?

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still problem, connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, this can often take 20 seconds time of holding both buttons.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • My iphone 3GS screen went black

    my iphone 3GS screen randomly went black and it was fully charged... ive tried to hold the buttons down that turn it off, i tried plugging it into the wall and my computer nothing is working the screen is still black

    My wife's phone has done this today.
    16Gb 3GS running 5.1.1 that has been fine up until today.
    It was around 80% charged and running rather slowly today, then it appears to have shut off. The symptoms are:
    - The screen has gone black (as in off, not on but showing a black screen)
    - The mute switch does not make it vibrate.
    - I can call the phone number and it rings, the phone does nothing though.
    - I connect it to my Mac and iPhoto launches, I can import pictures from it OK.
    - iTunes will recognise it eventually, but it will not sync, nor will it restore.
    - Holding the Hold & Home buttons does nothing.
    - I cannot force it into recovery or DFU modes.
    Bit stuck as to what to try next. Still seeing what I can find online.
    It only needed to last until next month!

  • The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

    The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

    When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
    Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
    Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
    If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
    Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
    Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
    To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

  • Why is my Iphone 3Gs screen appear to be disintegrating?

    Iphone 3Gs screen appears to have burn holes in it and looks like it is disintegrating in a pixelated format.  There appears to be a dark rainbowlike hole in the areas affected.  There are also small pixelated lines that run though areas of the top and bottom of the screen.  We tried turning off the phone for an extended period of time and it seemed to get better but now it the problem has persisted and gotten worse.

    Whether this is due to a defect in the display or damage, there's no way to fix it without replacing the display or entire phone. 
    If the phone is still under warranty or AppleCare, take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your area.  If out of warranty, Apple can give you an out-of-warranty replacement (refurb) for $199 (in USA).
    Another choice is to take it to a 3rd party iPhone repair center which may be able to fix it for a lot less.  If you know what you're doing, you can buy a new LCD screen and install it yourself.

  • My iphone 3Gs only has wi fi access within 1 to 2 meters from router

    My iphone 3Gs only has wi fi access within 1 to 2 meters from router.  It had been working normally for the last two years. I changed wifi modem a couple of months ago but still worked fine until a couple of weeks ago.  I have the same problem with other wifi networks. The iPhone only picks them up if it's within 1 to 2 m of the box. 
    I've tried turning the phone and the modem on & off, restoring the phone and different wifi networks - no change, still has the same problem. 
    Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or what I could try next?

    These are the symptoms of a loose or detached Flex Cable # 6 at the top of the Logic Board.

  • My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging Please Help

    My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging out lately it bounces up and down and just gets really blurry. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi,
    By "Bounces up and Down", do you mean this:
    The content of the screen drops down and about a third of the top of the screen is blank.
    When you press the home button or any icon, the content moves back to the top of the screen.
    If this is what you are seeing, it is intentional. It is meant as a way for you to be able to easily reach the icons at the top row of the screen.
    Double tap the home button. Do not press the button, just lightly tap it.
    All the content should drop down.
    Pressing the home button or any icon will shift the content back up again.
    This is a new feature designed for the larger screens in the 6 and 6+.

  • My iPhone 5 screen has blacked out.

    Hi there,
    My iPhone 5 screen has just randomly blacked out on me.
    I sent a text message to someone then lay my phone down on the sofa and when I picked it up again moments later the screen did not work and it is completely unresponsive. When I ring my phone it rings but I cannot hear my ringtone. Plugging my phone into charge does nothing and I have also tried pressing the lock and home button at the same time for 10 seconds which also does not work.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Also forgot to mention that when I plug it into my MacBook it's also unresponsive with my iTunes
