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.

  • I have a bright white screen when turning on my ipod nano 7th gen.  Have tried resetting etc etc. Any further ideas?

    I have a bright white screen when turning on my nano 7th gen. Have tried resetting and restoring settings - no change. Any ideas please?

    Hello pipworms,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano's was just showing a white screen.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Display shows a white screen
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds).
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    I got this information from the following article for the 6th generation iPod nano.  The steps are the same, except I updated the reset steps with the reset for the 7th generation iPod nano:

  • White screen when turn ipod touch on...help

    There is a white screen when I turn my iPod touch on.   please help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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

    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 the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Lenovo G580 displays white screen when turned on

    Hello Team,
    My Lenovo G580 is turning white on start. It was working fine, suddenly it flashed a white screen.
    In a particular spot a black patch is developing and gets heated up.
    I did
    -remove the battery, holded the power button for 30 secs and then turned on with battery.
    But it did not help.
    Please help me with the issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi Harsha_28,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If the black patch is similar to the picture below then the issue is most likely with the LCD assembly  - possibly dead pixels (you can verify this by connecting an external monitor via the VGA port).  
    If you're in India, I recommend you contact Lenovo and report the issue. 
    Telephone number:
    1800-3000-5366
    1800-419-7555
    Hours of operation:
    10AM - 7PM
    Monday - Saturday
    Except Holidays

  • I have a white screen when turning it on. The bar at the bottom is blank, before it starts to do anything the computer then shuts off.

    I am new at this so some of my terminology may be off.  I have a server,  when I turned it on tonight I had a white screen with the little thing in the center going around.  Before it could do anything the computer just quite.  Went black.  I tried 5 or 6 more times with the same thing happening.  Isn't their a a command I can use while the screen is white to have it start in safe mode and I can switch drives.

    If you have another bootable drive, you may be able to boot from it by holding down the option key at the startup chime — if you hear the chime. If you don't hear it, the machine is failing the power-on self test and needs to be serviced.

  • White screen when turned on.

    My iPod Nano (6th Gen) wont turn on when when using the sleep/wake button and when i hold down the sleep/wake button and the volume down button and a white screen just appears and stays there also when i connect to itunes it says "An iPod has been connected, but it could not be identified properly" And tried holding down the volume up and down button at the same time but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    I had the "White Screen of Minor Injury" happen to my 3rd Gen nano a couple years ago, and nothing I tried worked either.  In the end I had to send it to the Apple store and they ended up replacing it.

  • Imac gets white screen when turned on, can someone help me?

    My aunt sold me her imac g4 for 80 bucks a couple of days ago.
    It's 17" 1ghz with 256mb of ram, 80gb hard drive, an airport extreme card, superdrive, and an apple pro keyboard and mouse and mac os x tiger.
    Last night it was working swell, but I had did research and decided I wanted to upgrade the ram and the hard drive, so a couple of hours ago I added 512mb pc2700 ram dimm, and also added a western digital 250 ide hard drive.
    I also reapplied thermal paste to the spots where it needed it.
    Upon turning on the system, it would do the normal chime and then the lcd would just go white, and it would stay that way, I also tried holding the mouse down and booting it, and it open the cd tray just fine, I was able to insert my tiger cd in there, but after rebooting again, it still stays white.
    I can hear it reading the disc, but I don't know what to do, I really liked this mac, and I really want to try to fix this, any suggestions on what I can do to solve this?

    can you boot into open firmware?
    To boot to open firmware:
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-O-F.
    Note: The Command key has the Apple and () icons on it.
    keep holding the keys till you see "Welcome to Open Firmware."

    Hello all,
    I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
    What I have tried so far to no avail:
    Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
    Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    Changed the watch face to display.
    Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
    Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
    Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
    Regards,

    Hey,
    I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
    Have you found any solution?
    Bah, this is annoying.

  • 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!  :-)

  • 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:

  • Sometimes my ipod gen 5 display white screen when i choose to see a photo , was it broken ?

    Sometimes my ipod gen 5 display white screen when i choose to see a photo , was it broken ?

    Likely a corrupted photo file:
    Try:
    - Importing the proplem photos to your computer and viewing them
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Backup and then restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • 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.
