IPhone 3gs screen stopped showing images

I recently dropped my iPhone 3gs and the screen is now white when it is on. I am still able to receive calls and what not, but I am unable to see any images on the screen.
p.s. I already have an upgraded phone, I just want to resolve this issue with the device.

I held both the buttons for about a 30 seconds and the device turned off, but nothing else..

  • My iphone 3gs' screen stopped responding to touch in a crucial places on my phone, about how much would it cost to replace it at the apple store?

    My iPhone has fallen out of my pocket a million times and always been fine, no cracks just a few scraches on the back. This morning, it fell out and I assumed the usual had happened. However, I went to type on the open message and the screen wasn't responding on parts of the keyboard. So, I thought maybe it was just a small issue; I turned my phone off then back on. When it turned back on I couldn't even unlock it because the screen wasn't responding and the first number of my passcode was in an unresponsive spot. An elder friend of mine told me all I needed was to replace the screen and that he could do it, if I bought the screen. My question is, would it be cheaper to buy the screen and have my friend do it, or would Apple give me a better deal?
    Note: I've had it for a year and four months. I do not know ANYTHING about the warrantty and such because my aunt takes care of it for me because I'm only seventeen.

    Out of warranty replacement is $149

  • 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?

  • IPhone 3GS doesn't show up in iTunes 10.3.1.55

    I just downloaded the new updated iTunes today.  After doing so, my iPhone 3GS doesn't show up on there or my computer. 
    It shows up under devices but not on hardware (on my PC).  Is there a glitch in the new update?  I haven't had any trouble until
    now.  I went through the troubleshooter and did everything it asked and still nothing.  When I first plugged in my phone after the update,
    a window popped up saying something about Windows updating the driver on the device.  I thought drivers and such only came from
    Apple.  Under the pc's tab Devices and Printers, I ran a troubleshooter on the phone and it also said it couldn't identify the problem.
    Everything seems to work ok on the phone, but I can't add any music to the phone or download pics from the phone.  If I reset my phone,
    will I lose my pics I haven't put on my pc yet?  Thanks for any help.

    Don't reset your phone.  Resetting will return the phone to factory settings and you will loose everything.  Spend some time working toward a fix.
    You might want to try a different USB cable.  It is possible that your cable conincedentally went bad.  I have had this problem before - even cables that will chrage the phone sometimes stop working for data purposes.

  • Upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and now iPhoto images are blurred...WHY?

    I've just upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and the iPhoto images are blurred? WHY?
    They were fine before...so now my screen saver is blurred and looks low res...all my images are crap quality...what is going on Apple?
    Checked the photos on my laptop and they are crystal clear...anyone else have the same problem?
    I wish I'd stuck with the old software now.

    I also had the same issue. I upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to the new software about a week ago. Yesterday the photos on my phone were blurry. I "googled" the issue and ended up here. Synced my phone and now all is well! thanks for the help.

  • 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!

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

    Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
    sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
    I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
    I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
    What can i do?

    Hello,
    I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
    THAT was not an option!
    BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
    In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
    I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
    Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
    By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
    We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
    the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
    It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
    treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
    @Apple:
    Please fix that issue in the next update.
    Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • My iPhone 3GS has stopped Ringing and only now Vibrates. Any ideas please to what the fault maybe or how I can get the ringing back. I've checked settings and all ok. The other day it did ring once then went to vibrate

    Recently my iPhone 3GS has stopped ringing all of a sudden. I've checked the settings and nothing has been changed. I've also made sure the switch on the side is not on silent/vibrate too.
    The other day it rang once then went to vibrate.
    Anyone have any idea?
    The phone is just over a year old too
    Would be grateful for any help
