My iPhone 3G is suddenly displaying a white screen... otherwise, it's unresponsive.

My iPhone 3G is suddenly displaying a white screen... otherwise, it's unresponsive.  I can't turn it off/on.  It just charged all night and the alarm woke me up.  I updated my contacts, check my email, then the white screen.  I'd appreciate help with this.  Thx.

My problem has been resolved thanks to suggestions!  :-)  I first tried to reboot by simultaneously holding the power and home buttons.  That didn't work initially so, I tried the second suggestion which was to resync from iTunes.  After that, the white screen went away but, the iPhone was completely dark and unresponsive.  I then tried the reboot again and this time, it worked!  Thanks again for the help!  :-)

  • Iphone 3gs shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines

    I have an iPhone 3GS. It It shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines.

    I have the 3GS and it recently started the RSD.  At first I thought it was just the batter not holding a charge and being lower than what the display showed.  However, even when fully charged the RSD's occur mostly when loading either Apps or web pages in Safari.
    I have not experienced the white screen and colored line, yet apparently.  Is this the logic board like in the MacBook's?

  • My ihone only displays a white screen and I want to fix it myself.

    my iphone will only display a white screen can I fix it and how can I?

    At this point, you probably be better off saving up for and purchasing a new one. Apple will not help you since you opened the iPod up.  A third party repair company may be able to help but the cost will likely be near the cost of buying a new Nano.

    I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

  • TS3274 words w/friends has frozen up and displays a white screen.

    words with friends froze up after a play and displays a white screen.  Other apps working ok.

    See if you can force quit the app. Double tap the home button. Flick sideways if needed to get the preview up on your screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen then single tap the home button to exit the mode. Then try your app again.

  • QT Uncompressed files display with White Screen

    I'm stumped.
    I have a few QT files that are uncompressed 8 bit. On my new 8 Core Intel Mac, a G5, and a Mac Mini I can see this file just fine. We're running 10.4.9 and QT 7.1.6. The Mac Minis and G5 are bare bones and have no codecs listed in the Library/Quicktime folder except Apple Intermediate (default).
    On all of my Intel XServes however, with the exact same installed universal binary QT codecs as my 8 Core, these same QT uncompressed files only display a white screen. In get info the codec is listed as Uncompressed 8bit 4:2:2. Last time I checked Uncompressed didn't even require a codec.
    Any ideas why the XServes can't read these QTs? I've even updated the QT to 7.2 hoping there was an Intel bug, but that didn't fix this.
    Thanks!

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. You can also give this player a try:

  • Is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click?

    is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click? Instead of going through the Accessibility and VoiceOver feature. This will be very useful if I am driving, or tired of reading from the screen, or watching other stuff ... thanks

    No.
    What is available via Accessibility settings is it.

  • My itouch will only display a white screen, is this fixable? help!

    My i touch was working absoluty normally, then one day it would only display a white screen. I can still see it on my computer however it is showing that the memory has been wiped. I tried to restore it to its original settings, but it still displays the same white screen. I have drained the battery fully, and tried holding the buttons down for 10 seconds. Nothing is working and im now confused. Can anyone advise me please? thank you.

    When restoring an iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd does not solve a proble it is most likely due to a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!!

    My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!! I have had it on charge all day and have tried plugging it in to my computer to sync.

    Restore your software using iTunes.
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    You should be able to restore your backup file after this procedure. If the problem comes back, you either have corruption in your backup file, or a serious hardware problem that should be looked at by a tech at the Genius Bar (make an appointment first).

  • HT201412 my ipod is frozen, and displays a white screen. It won't turn off; I've tried restarting with on/off and sleep/wake buttons.. Nothing happens

  • My iPhone 4s turns off after battery gets below 40% and sometimes when I take a photo,it shows the photo in the photo album but will display a white screen when i tap on the photo. Please help thank you :)

    My Iphone 4s is 2 years and 3 months old. the battery drains very quickly, sometimes turning off once it reaches 40% if I open an app or say the camera.
    I charge it more than twice a day now as the battery life is so poor.
    Also, when I take a photo, the phot sometimes shows in the album, but if I click on it, it shows up as a white screen and I cannot send the photo either as the recipient gets a blank screen.
    I am not super flash with technology, so please be nice!
    Thank you

  • Iphone not recognized or starting up - white screen as well.

    My iphone was working after i had dropped it a couple hours ago but when i got home and plugged it into my computer it wasn't recognized by itunes. So i decided to reset it and when i tried to turn it back on it got stuck on the apple logo for quite some time before i decided to reboot it again. This time it got past the apple logo only to flash a mix of colors on the screen then go into white screen.
    I decided to go into recovery mode and see if that worked unfortunately that didnt do anything of help.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    At this point in time I have an appointment at the Apple Store tmw afternoon and I am running recovery mode once more to see if it helps.
    Edit After second recovery, i got the globe and the "emergency call" thing. but after about 10seconds it locked up, restarted its self and is doing the same thing as before the recovery. Looks like i may have to go in tmw unless someone can help.

    Sorry, but there is nothing else anyone here can provide to resolve this. It sounds like the drop caused some hardware damage.
