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,

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.

As mentioned already in this thread this phone needs to go to a Nokia Care Point.
The phone has crashed and needs the software needs to be re-programmed by an engineer.

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.

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.

Welcome to the forum!
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.

There are probably others who have experienced it, so if anyone knows the answer to what I must, then in very much like to contact me.

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.

NOKIA C3-01 is displaying a white screen when turn...

Its been almost a year since I bought my nokia c3 from saudi arabia. Yesterday my phone was working fine, left it on table and when i came back to check it. it went beserk with white screen; although i kept hearing msgs and emails being received. I turned it off immediately and took out the memory card, willing it might work. I turned it on again but no changes just white screen.It gave me the beeping sound that i know to enter the phone code. After i entered it, it started with nokia welcome soundtrack but only gave me a white screen. Is it a software or hardware problem? I kept reading about ways to solve it but with no success. Plz note that my last backup was on 26 june 2012 and many info where stored in last 15 days. So i dnt wanna lose data. Also a similar problem occured two month after i bought it, but then it gave me it needed a software update. I did the update and everything worked fine. Also two weeks ago, my phone fell in water but it was turned off. I dried it without the battery for 3 days, turned it on, and it worked normally. I need an immediate help plzz its a plead for a lifeline. I just cant do any troubleshooting or update bcz i need to see whats on screen instead of blank white.
thanks in advance,
almach

Hi Almach89,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
We are sorry for the inconvenience. I advise yout to try and back up your data with Nokia Suite. If you do not have it installed on your PC yet, you may do so with this link.
Then connect your device to it and go to Tools > Back up. Also go to Synchronise > Synchronise now > All. Once the sync is completed, check the different tabs to see if the data has been correctly synced. If this is successful, your data will now be safe (please use your own judgement).
You may update your device from the updates tab to see if that fixes the screen issue.
Alternatively, please take your device to your nearest Nokia Care Point or call your Local Careline, please find the details via this link.
Feel free to post any other questions you may have.

Nokia N70 starts with a white Screen.

Hi all,
My nokia N70 starts with a white Screen and does not go any further. It does not make any sound while starting. When i connect it to the PC it is not detected by the PC while the phone is on showing a white screen. I have tried performing a Hard reset using the *3 and the green key but it is not formatting either. I also tried updating the software but as the PC is not recognising the mobile connection the updater is not working either. I am using the latest PC suite.
Please help...

Remove the battery for at least 5 minutes and then replace and see if that makes any difference. Also try removing the memory card.
If the above two don't work then try these.Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
First try these
*#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
*#7370# - Reformat your phone
If still not working
Then try the "3 finger deep reset". With the phone powered off, depress and hold these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone using the on/off button whilst keeping the three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone.
This should ONLY be done if the device doesn't power up normally anymore and it wipes everything in the Phone memory that is not part of the ROM.

Nokia X3-00 white screen of death !!!

Hello guys.
I own a Nokia X3-00.
When i first purchased it, after 2 days, it failed to switch on.
Instead a white screen appeared and after the nokai logo appears, the screen flashes 3-4 times and than it goes off.
I got a new set in place of it since it was just 3 days old.
now the new phone i got also got the same problem of white screen.
I wanted to ask that what is the reason behind this white screen problem?
I didnt update the firmware and didnt disturbed any settings of the pghone.
Kindly plz assist me.

May be 2 truth's are disclosed:
Hey guys, Never Give Up.
Actually, I faced the same problem on the 27th day of purchasing the phone. I're really very very afraid. But, later I understood that there isn't any problem with my phone. Actually, during the 1st month of purchasing my phone I used it as a Internet Modem. It harms any mobile very much. Whenever I use my phone as a modem for a long time, for 2-3 days it disturbs me this way. But If I let it to take a long rest, it forgets about that. So don't be worry if you like me using your phone as a modem. If you aren't then remember these speeches, actually you may not beleive me on this point even Nokia will also, but I'm telling you from my real experience.
""IF YOU UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE, YOUR PHONE FOR A SHORT PERIOD WILL DISTURB YOU IN THE WAY YOU MENTIONED ABOVE. DON'T BE WORRY ABOUT IT. LET IT TO TAKE REST. AFTER 5-6 IT'LL WORK AS YOU WISH.""

My Nokia SuperNova 7510 is flashing a white screen...

Yesterday, my phone ran out of battery so I plugged it onto the charger and left it that way overnight like I normally do. When I tried to turn it on in the morning, a white screen flashed on the screen and it kept going from a black screen to white about 5 times and then shut off again. It keeps doing this, I've tried taking out the battery and SIM card and waiting for a while and nothing has happened. I've also tried the deep reset thing where you hold down the 3, green key, and * and the flashing still happens when I press the key to turn it on. Please help.

if you have done reset etc and the problem remains you need to take it to a nokia care centre im afraid you can try updating the firmware 1st though if nothing changes nokia care centre is your last resort
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520
