Nokia 6230i white screen. needs reset?

hi all,
I recently got my Nokia 6230i a bit wet. I put it up in the sun and it worked fine for sometime, but then the screen went completely blank. Everythin in the phone works well except the screen.
I've found out that resetting might help. How can I reset my phone?
Can anyone help?

Hi Sanedevil,
Resetting the phone will almost certainly not work, and if you were to do so, you would also loose all the data in the phone.
The problem is almost certainly due to the fact it got wet.
Although you said it did work for a while, the LCD, circuit board and components have probably been slowly corroding and this is what has caused the screen to go white.
Changing the LCD might work, but a reset will certainly not.
hope this helps.

    If you have not done a factory reset on the device, I recommend doing a complete  factory reset.  
    Factory Reset  - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
    This method will not erase any MDN/MIN information
    Turn off the phone 
    Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen 
    Display will show: 
    Reboot system Now 
    Apply sdcard:update.zip 
    Wipe Data/Factory Reset 
    Wipe Cache Partition
    Use VOL Down key to scroll down to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", press home icon to select option and wipe device. 
    Display shows "All user data will be wiped out", press VOLUME Up to continue or VOLUME Down to exit. 
    Press Volume Up 
    Press Home to select "Reset System Now" - device will reboot
    If the problem persist I recommend having a store technician take a look at the device.

  • HT1459 how to permanently fix white screen after resetting and restoring

    How to permanently fix a 'White Screen" after resetting and restoring? 2nd generation ipod

    There are two different resets. The reset you did involved holding the sleep/wake & home button.
    The other reset will do exactly what it says. That reset is located in Settings - General - Reset.

  • Nokia 6288 - white screen with battery icon

    I've had problems with my Nokia 6288 since very soon after I bought it.
    I turn my phone on and it just has a white screen with the battery icon. I can punch numbers into the keypad to call out, but I cannot do anything else.
    Any idea how to reset the phone or anything that might help me be able to use my phone again?

    does it say "phone restricted"? if it does, it is a matter of either updating to the latest firmware via Nokia Software Updater, or just take out your battery and reinsert it and turn the phone back on. i too had similar problem as to what you are describing.

  • Nokia 5220 WHITE SCREEN PROBLEM *Help plz*

    hello guys ... my phone's (5220) screen has gone White ... !! i have absolutely no idea what the problem is ! i took out the battery and put it back again .. but when i turn it on ..after the nokia logo the screen goes white again !! i cant do anything except for looking at the white screen...! the phone doesnt even turn off until you take out the battery !
    I tried to connect it to my PC (via data cable) but the phone does not get connected with the PC suite !!  PLZ HELP ME  !!

    Jimmyireland is right - anything that you could do yourself requires the phone to at least boot up properly, at the moment your phone is like PC with no Windows involved, it can't find its OS to start.
    The 5220 is a series 40 phone, there is facility for a forced reboot, it needs its software to be reflashed which is why you need the Nokia service point.

  • Nokia 6288 white screen

    ok, i just called my mum, then 20 minutes later i looked at my phone at the screen went totally white. Its done this a few times before and fixed itself after 30 secs. Although this time it didnt.It is completely white!. everytime i switch it on there is just a white screen, flashes for a bit and turns itself off, so i cant actualy get on it!
    does anyone know hoe to restore factory settings without going onto the phone?!
    this is the second time ive had trouble with this phone. its ridiculous

    Hey,
    There has been a massive number of Nokia 6288's with this problem or similar in that the screen was flashing white, the problem was so large we were considering the flashing white screen as a sellin point !
    Any handsets we've had with this issue just needed a software upgrade, you can do this yourself through the Nokia download and support service or by dropping it to a Nokia Service Centre or back to the place of purchase where they phone may be sent for software upgrading which generally takes 5-7 working days.
    Hopefully Helpful,

    White screen on Nokia not good news, try removing battery for 10 minutes and replace, if no luck a visit to Nokia Care Point may be needed.

  • Ipod touch with white screen need help

    what would cause a white screen on my ipod touch 4th gen ?? i would like to know i have already tried to reset it and it has not worked. I also restored it and every thing works but the screen its always white. i need some help please!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • White screen at reset.  Won't start up with install disk.

    White Screen persists on restart. Folder with ? appears after a few minutes. Tried safe start - nothing. Tried RAM reset (option, cmd, p, r) - nothing. Tried to restart with C key to use install disk, C drive powers and spins for awhile - nothing. Thought its was hard drive but, wouldn't install disk by pass that?
    No outside devices plug in.
    Son's computer, he plug in iphone and it wouldn't show on desktop so he reset the computer and now this.
    Help!

    I have the same issue. I had noticed over previous weeks that the fan seemed to be on quite a lot when the computer was just left idling. Anyway- there is now an odd repetitive intermittent clicking as it tries to start up. Get nothing then the ? folder. I have tried all the tips in the manual. Managed to load utilities disk and there is no recognition of the HD at all. All a bit worrying...
    Related questions- (1) are my iPod touch photos saved in full resolution on the iPod (or do you still have to enable the iPod for this?) (2) Can I download them from the iPod to another computer. (3) Can I do the same with iTunes?
    If anyone has had a similar experience and been to an engineer / service provider I would love to hear what was found, and whether the HD was recoverable.
    Many thanks all-
    Rob

  • White Screen - Hard reset, restore doesn't work

    So my iphone just passed it's warranty by 11 days. It is a 3G 8gb. I noticed the white screen thing and googled it. I found out how to do a reset with the home button and power, did that. Fixed it for a brief few minutes. Then white screen again. So I did the restore in itunes. Fixed it for a few minutes, then white screen again. All the functions of my phone work fine. I don't think I have ever dropped the thing. It has a hard case. Anyways, i can play with the phone by trying to bend it and the white screen disappears and goes back to normal. Then the slightest touch will set it back to white. Very strange, its very touch sensitive and I can manipulate it to get it to clear sometimes. My question is what is causing this and can it be fixed without going through apple? I pretty much have to buy a new phone, but upgrade to 3Gs isn't possible for 6 months. Thanks

    If an iPhone reset, restoring with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, and restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup does not resolve it, I don't believe you have another option besides going through Apple.
    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange which will include a warranty.

    Hi ahmadace360,  
    Have you performed any sort of software update before this happened? There are two possible things:
    1) Software problem - either by corrupt firmware or failed update.
    2) Hardware problem
    Fixing any of these would require you to send the phone to the Nokia Care Center.

  • White screen? Resetting doesn't work

    I've tried resetting like a million times! Still nothing, my screen is still white. I have the 160GB. I won't restore because thats over 24,000 songs gone. I dropped it today on the pavement, it wasn't even a hard drop. Can someone tell me how to fix this please?

    - Try connecting to comutr and then try to restor.
    - If still white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

  • Nokia 3250 White Screen after Using NSU

    Thanks in advance Jim
