N95 white screen then turn off

Hello!
I have a Nokia N95 with the following problem : when you want the phone to turn on, in displays a white screen for a short time then it turns off. Is this a software problem? Or a more serious hardware problem?

  Good news, V35.2.001 seems to be a happy build on my N95-3, no strange keyboard errors, etc. as reported with V35 elsewhere in the forums.
Now my phone seems to spend more time on the 3G network, as opposed to 2.5G, which unfortunately for me can mean that this phone reports "Connection error" and can't make a call, whereas another mobile operator in the same location can call quite happily on their own 2.5G network. (Battery life seems a little shorter because of this too.)
It's too bad that the options for switching between "Dual Mode" and "GSM" are buried so deep in the N95 menu in the Tools -> Settings -> Phone -> Network -> "Network Mode" field...is there any way to make a one-press shortcut directly to that location?
My phone now also seems to forget the WEP key for my WLAN a lot...I am often re-entering the WEP key.
Otherwise, no complaints & no spontaneous white-screen reboots....except that my phone is pretty empty right now.
Thank you Fender77 & uzy3l for your advice. I followed Fender77's update routine..It was a good thing to put the extra soft reset back in, b/c after the first welcome reboot of my phone I accidentally chose my location as (top of the list) Afghanistan--oops! I don't live there....  
The one thing is that Ovi Suite reported that the update process failed....on closer inspection, Ovi Suite was telling me that the restore failed. In reality, the phone was updated just fine, it is just empty & fresh.
I lost my 3rd-party apps and haven't had a chance to search for them again. My Contacts are also empty b/c I haven't yet tried to restore them from Ovi, b/c earlier when I backed them up Ovi lumped a bunch of my contacts from 2 phones together, and maybe I would have preferred to keep them separate. Haven't made the effort to restore pictures....maybe I'll just go forward and snap new ones.
Thanks very much for helping me understand about installing apps on a memory card & the consequences. I had not intentionally stored anything on a memory card, but it seems for some things (e.g.. voices)  Nokia does automatically.
Thank you!

  • My ipod 4th gen went onto a blank white screen and turned off. what should i do?

    My iPod 4th gen was dead so I charged it, the apple sign appeared and stayed on the screen for about 10 minutes then went onto a blank white screen and turned off. Now I can't charge it and it has already happened multiple times. what should I do? I also don't know which iOS operating system it is, does that matter?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

  • IPod sticks on Apple logo screen, then turns off

    Hey everyone.
    This just began happening about 30 minutes ago. After un-plugging my iPod (I think i did everyhting right, I followed all of the procedures), my iPod showed the black screen with the Apple logo on it. Ever since then, the iPod has been making a clicking noise and the black screen with the Apple logo on it will light up for about 10 seconds, the light will go off, the ipod will turn off for a second or so, and then repeat this process.
    Thanks alot.
    P.S.- I have already tried the 5 R's. I have tried hooking up my iPod the the cable that charges it and my computer wont even notice that the iPod is attached. I have also let the battery run out, and then recharging my Ipod and trying again, the same thing happens.

    After trying every other opetion, with no success, I went to Best Buy and got a new one (thank god for warranties.)
    They informed me that it was a dead hard drive. If this problem is still happening for anyone, the best thing to do is to take it to the store you bought it from and, as long as you have a warranty, they will issue you a new iPod.

  • White screen computer turns off

    my macbook 2.16 intel duo running 10.6.8 has been turning itself off with a white screen, this follows weeks of fan noise that has now stopped. I have done all the basics and the hardrive is fine according to disc utility and tech tool all checks passed, I have it under ventilated the battery seems OK. Done the PRAM, safe mode, SMC reset battery thing ????

    I'm afraid there's no other source of AHT as it's tailored to each model.
    You can try calling Apple Customer Services and see if they can still burn you a replacement pair of discs. You'll need the serial no. of the mac and a credit card handy.
    Alternatives are the likes of Tech Tool Pro, but we're talking €90-€100.
    It is downloadable, though.

  • Firefox crashes MY COMPUTER!!! When I open it, my computer BLUE SCREENS then turns off!!!

    Within the past few months, I have not been able to use Firefox at all. It started crashing my whole computer, making the whole thing go blue screen before shutting down, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it TWICE, the second time sacrificing ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS, and even after that, it STILL CRASHED MY COMPUTER! My college professors prefer that I use this browser to do my WebCT assignments (and *tests*) and I have been unable to do so.

  • Ipod Touch shows apple then turns off

  • IPhone 4 screen flickering then turning off and when i try to turn it back on it either works or I get a white or purple screen. When i turn it off it doesn't turn back one

    Ok so this started around a week ago. I got home one afternoon put my phone down went back to it and pressed the home button and it seemed that it turned itself off so I tried turning back on, didn't work so I hooked it up to my laptop tried turning it on again it came on but I got a WHITE screen. So after that I decided to leave it for a bit I went to it after it started working fine...until 4 days later. I was on instagram and all of a sudden the screen starts flickering like crazy and then it turned itself off, I did what i did last time and just left it for a bit it came back on working fine. And then about 2 days ago I was listening to music and the screen froze then started flickering (getting quite annoyed at this stage) and then turned off, this time I tried turning it back on straight away only this time it worked. And that brings us to this morning, i was on facebook and about 5 minutes later it starts flickering and freezing once again and then turned itself off. So i hooked it up to my laptop I then got it to turn on for like 6 seconds then the screen started to dim and turned off. That brings us up to now about 10 minutes ago i tried turning it on, it turned on but I got a PURPLE screen and it just stayed like that until i turned it off. Does anybody have any idea what is going on? I think its the screen itself but i'm probably wrong. All help is appreciated.

    I am also having the same problem.. Its too much annoying and its unfortunate nobody at apple support has anyclue of what is happening?
    ... This is happening almost most of the time keeping my phone down most of the times.
