IPhone showing white screen

Hey guys.
I bought my iPhone 3GS 3 years ago and it has been working fine ever since.
Yesterday when I got home, it showed a white screen.. So I tried to restart it (hold down sleep button and home button for like 10 seconds) and it became normal again.. untill i pressed sleep button to to lock it.
Whenever i press the home button to open it, the white screen shows up. So basically I cant see anything but I can lock it up by pressing and turning on music etc. however I cant see anything.
Im pretty sure it's not the screen because if I restart (holding the 2 buttons) it will work untill i put it in my pocket again.
I searched all over google and couldten find anyone with this problem who had not cracked their screen (my screen is not cracked or anything).. Tried Apple's helppage and there wasnt much to find either. I have restored and updated to latest iOS without either of it working.. Help please

HI there,
I would recoomend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Display shows a white screen
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

    You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.

  • Calendar app shows white screen

    After IOS 8.1 upgrade, Calendar App (synced with gmail calendar)shows white screen with plus sign and magnify glass in upper right, nothing else!  Chatted with Apple Support.  They had me back up IPhone to computer via ITunes and then Restore IPhone.  After Complete Restore, I reinstalled backup from computer.  Same issue.  Still no Calendar.  Any Help would be appreciated.  It is an iPhone 5C.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    I must have filled 20 bug reports at least is teh last 3-4 days (since I upgraded).
    In my early time with Apple products, I used to find one bug per month.
    Came Apple maps and that became once a day (including with wrong locations)
    Now comes iOS 7 and it is ... once every hour or more.
    I just can't believe it !!

  • My ipod restarted while sofwear update .now its just showing white screen

    - 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.

  • Itune showing white screen(ipad3)

    itune showing white screen after upadating my iPad3 to iOS6.
    does anyone have a solution for it or facing same problem.
    seems like iOS6 has some issues better not to update.

    Quit the iTunes app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't help. reboot the iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    If it did not work, you'll have to get it serviced. Dropping an ipod is not covered by your warranty.
    Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
    If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Authorised Service Provider, where available. Alternatively, you can contactApple Technical Support

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your MacBook Pro has a startup issue that is causing it to only display an Apple logo. Try the suggestions in the article below, they will resolve most issues like this one.

  • My Macbook Pro Showing White Screen At startup

    Krishnaraj7777,
    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  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. Do you get past the white screen now?

  • My App Store is showing white screen on features and charts display

    My App Store is showing white screen on features and charts display. Any ideas what I should do?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • ITunes shows white screen for iPhone, allows eject only

    Recently restored my phone to factory settings. Connected to iTunes. iTunes shows the device and allows to eject, however to the right there is only a white page. Already tried the following:
    reboot of both devices
    reinstall itunes
    connect device to different computer (same white screen)
    reset all content and settings on iphone
    I'm running out of ideas. The phone works fine - but I can't sync or restore anything! The only option when I click on the iphone icon in the sidebar is...eject!
    Screenshot attached. Strange that the same screen shows up on 2 macbook pro's!

    I have the exact same problem. I've restored multiple times on two different computers without any luck. This seems to be a brand new issue happening today as I have found multiple threads about this issue...
