IPhone 4S screen stuck w white blob
My iPhone 4S (7.0.3) is stuck and irresponsive.
It has a withe fairly square white blob positioned at the center of the screen covering most of it. See attached.
What to do?
Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If NONE of these steps work, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

IPhone 4 screen black and white?
So, title might be a little misleading - I don't know, but my iPhone 4 has broken.
Basically, I can still hear it turn on etc, still hear when I get a message or a phone call and so on, and it vibrates when I put it on charge etc. What I'm trying to get across is the phone is 100% functional... except one thing.
The screen is black. That's right, black. It lights up a tad when you press the sleep button as you usually would to get into the phone, which makes me think the LED's are still working and connected.
Oh, also, this just happened when I picked up my phone one time. Just black out of nowhere.
What I've tried:
Recovering phone (Phone wont recover for unexpected error).
Holding down home and power button for 10 seconds (only worked once out of about 100 times, where the Apple logo showed up, then the screen faded to white then went from white to black and the phone was off again).
Opening the back of phone to see if a connector has come loose (It hasn't).
So, basically, if anyone could help I'd be extremely grateful.
Thank you.Hi,
What do you mean?
I have no warranty as it ran out ages ago, so I can't send it in either.
Thank you. -
I pulled my 32 gb iPod touch out of my pocket, turned on the screen and randomly there was a huge white faded blob in the middle of my screen, but it had a line seperating the blob and the normal screen. It was not near water, nor had I dropped it, I simply pulled it out of my pocket. What I want to know is how to fix it, and it is still under my year warrenty and does it cover that?
Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. It would be covered. Contact Apple.

I don't know what to do. My iPhone 4 just all of a sudden had a blank white screen. It still shows the bar at the top with the signal, time, and battery life. But the rest of the screen is white. If I touch the screen it acts like it's selecting something and gives me the choice to "Copy". It will still charge when I plug it up, but i cannot turn it off or lock the screen. I tried leaving it alone for awhile to see if it will lock on its own, like it normally would, and all it does is dim the screen. I guess im going to try to just let it die, and then see what happens, but if anyone else has any suggestions (other than taking it in to be looked at or getting a new phone) I would greatly appreciate it!
Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Fixed iphone glass screen, resulted in white screen after assembling it back together?
i've had a cracked screen on my iphone 3Gs for a fairly long time now and i decided to replace it. It's been working perfectly with the cracked screen and after i had replaced the glass screen and assembling it back all together, i have a white screen on the front, doesn't seem to go away and i've searched online for all types of solutions such as holding down the home and power button for 10secs etc but none seem to work, i came to an conclusion thinking its hardware? can anyone help me please, would be much appreciated. thanks
note: i intend to take it to the apple store as my last option
Kind Regards"note: i intend to take it to the apple store as my last option"
That should have been the first thnig that you should have done. If you had done so, Apple could have done an out-of-warranty exchange for you. Now that you've tried to fix it, and failed, Apple won't extend the exchange to you. I think that you might be able to sell your iPhone "as is" to a techno-tweek, or you can use it as a door stop. -
Screen stuck on white at startup
My MacBook Pro gets stuck at startup, the screen goes white every time and even when i shut it it's still stuck white and the apple on the back stays lit.
sjaouni4837,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it able to reach the login screen now? -

IPhone 6 screen white pixel (dead / stuck)...
I have a dead / stuck pixel in my iPhone 6 screen, It´s whiter on white background.
1) Is there any way to solve this?
2) Will this pixel interfere with the pics I take with the iPhone?
Thank you in advance for all your comments and help.I can't see what you're referring to, but if there is a dead pixel, take the phone back to Apple and they'll replace it. And to answer your question, photos would not be effected by a dead pixel on the screen.

Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?
Hi Sabrinann21,
I'm not sure what you mean by the "white blob." Does it look something like this?
If so, that white circle that you see on the right side of the screen is Assistive Touch and can be turned off in the Accessibility settings on the iPhone.
