Please help, why do i keep getting the white screen of death?

ok i have a blackberry curve mobile, i dropped it in a pint of lager new years eve. i have left it to dry for months. first time i turned it on i was getting the white screen and it kept happning. so i tried updating the software and it worked fine for about 3 minutes. so i just left phone for a couple of weeks tried updating software again. last night it stayed on without turning off or having the white screen, but i get up in the morning to check my phone click it then the white screen appears again. making me very angry, because the white screen doesnt come on if i have my phone connected to USB to pc it stays on. anyone know why this is happning?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With moisture intrusion into a BB, the only thing that is predictable is that the results will be unpredictable. All of your symptoms could be perfectly understandable given the lager-bath your BB received. I'd recommend a new device ASAP (and get regular backups of your data, of course).
Good luck!

  • HELP!! I KEEP GETTING THE WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH!!

    Here's how it started:  My Cruve 8520 died and told me to reinstall the software. I installed the latest software update, and now my phone just goes white. Usually when my battery is low, but at random times as well. The only thing the helps is hooking up the phone to the charger. 
    Needless to say this is getting annoying. 
    Can someone please help?  
    Thanks!

  • App getting the "white screen of death" since iOS 8.2 update

    Hello!
    Been playing an app called Solstice Arena since it came out. Now suddenly the game morphs into the "white screen of death" every time I hit the login button.
    I tried all the usual things, turning the phone on/off, reinstalling the app, all to no avail.
    Never had this problem before downloading iOS 8.2.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Why do I get the white screen of death whenever I try to go to the iTunes store?

    I would love to give my money to Apple, but whenever I go to the iTunes store, I just get a blank screen.  It never loads, ever.  I have tried to purchase songs via a website--click the link to iTunes and still nothing.  I am running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac.

    Hello there Bubblesboo,
    I was looking into some of our resources about why the iTunes store may not be loading for you.
    Here are a coule of articles outlining how to troubleshoot that issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    And
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    I would start here, in the first article:
    Troubleshooting on a Mac
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. To configure your firewall, please refer to the "Blocked by firewall" section in this article.
    You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Click here to find out how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
    If you are receiving a specific error message you may want to see, the "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" section in this article as needed.
    If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail

    Why do I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail?

    This could be the result of a few different things.  A damaged LCD screen, corruption in the iPod's software, or a loose LCD ribbon cable.  If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not take care of the issue, then the iPod likely needs to be serviced.

  • HT201303 why do i keep getting the message "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction."?

    why do i keep getting the message "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction."? Oh, and I would love to contact support but they are never open for business when this happens to me so I was hoping someone knew what the heck was going on. I love my ipad and hate that I can't get the in app purchases that I need in order to advance to the next level to buy if I don't want to start the whole game again!! Please help. Let me know what you did to bypass this or get an itunes associate on the phone or what ever so I can solve this NOW!?

    You can contact iTunes support via email via this page and ask them why you are getting the message and how to resolve it (I'm not aware of any phone support for iTunes) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why do I keep getting the message, "Safari can't open the page because Safari can't find the server"?

    Why do I keep getting the message, "Safari can't open the page "www.blahblah.com" because Safari can't find the server" and you can replace the website with almost any I try to open. Any ideas or solutions?

    Do you have other wireless devices connected to this same router? Do they work?
    I really can't help you much but to say that when my router exhibited this issue it was accross the board (all notebooks would connect immediately following a router restart, but would loss connectivity until I rebooted the router again). In my case the only solution that was permanent was to replace the router.
    You may also try restarting the phone and the router, setup security - WEP - (or disable security) on the router and phone, and/or try a different wi-fi channel (may actually help).

  • Why do I keep getting the message that iTunes is quitting working?  I have reinstalled iTunes and I have checked the WiFi twice.  I have even put the internet cable directly into the laptop and still I cannot connect to the iTunes.  Offers no solutions.

    Why do I keep getting the message that iTunes is quitting working?  I have reinstalled iTunes and I have checked the wifi twice.  I have even put the internet access cable directly into the laptop.  The message says that windows will look for a solution but never offers any solution.

    Try disconnect your internet, then launch iTunes.
    Connect your device, then reconnect your internet.
    See if this resolves the issue.

  • Why do I keep getting the "Your purchase can not be completed at this time"?

    Why do I keep getting the "Your purchase can not be completed at this time"? I change the email address, credit card, confirmed new billing information and still can't make an In-App purchase.

    This sounds like an error in the activation of your device, not to do with syncing. After the restore, did the device activate?
