WHITE SCREEN HELP!

Hi I woke up one morning to a white screen on my blackberry that wont go away. I tried everything.. (turning it on/off, taking out battery, charging it etc..) but nothing would work. So i brought it into the shop and they said you will need a new LCD screen but no one knows how much it would cost because you have to check some serial number at the back of the phone ? They said it could cost between 40 - 70 euro Could i buy a cheaper LCD screen on ebay and put it in myself? i know how from watching videos! Thank you.

Okay thank you
Could i buy a LCD screen myself off ebay matching the model of my phone and replace it myself? it would save me a lot of money lol
thanks

Curve 8530 White Screen, help please?

I have a white screen. It did not get damaged or wet in any way. I can hear my phone ringing, hear alerts and see the LCD indicator light flashing. I cannot press any buttons to answer the phone or see the screen. The screen will only turn white when charging and hooked up to the computer, it will not respond to any pushes of any buttons. My device is recognized by the desktop manager on my computer. I have done the update to 5.0 Bundle 1675. I have also done a back up. My supported networks are CDMA 800 and 1900. I have tried rebooting both by taking the battery out before and after updating to the new version. I have NO hourglass, just the white screen. Any ideas?

Hi
You've certainly been trying to sort it. Try my own method because it involves wiping the device completely. You have a backup so you should be good.
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

Ipad error 37 and white screen HELP!!

Hi,
I have an Ipad 1 not jailbroken and using itunes on a windows xp machine.
Two days ago I had a notification on my ipad showing an update for the ios was available it started to download wirelessly. When I can back to check the device later it was showing a blank white screen. I have connected to the computer which detects the ipad in recovery mode and attempts to complete a restore. Every time this throws up the error 37.
I have disabled all antivirus software tried the update on three machines and two different wireless providers and still returns the same error. It goes fine up until about 80% and verifying firmware with apple servers then throws the error up.
I have tried everything DFU, restore, ammending windows hosts file and nothing.
The ipad is 2 months outside of it's warranty however it was working perfectly up until apples update
Any help will be appreciated

Hi,
Well the apple store was less than useless! They said that it was a hardware failure that apparently occurred by coincidence at the same time as the apple update. the level of customer service is appalling.
In the end after wasting my time with the so called genius staff. They told me without paying 158 to repair it there was no way of fixing it.
So i came home downloaded the latest version of redsnow, jailbroke it, you have to have the most recent redsnow which is a tethered((( jailbreak (if its not the most recent redsnow i was getting the firmware 6000 ms error.
Jailbroke pad and works perfect now, still won't restore through itunes but it works and I've now discovered the benefits of jailbreaking the pad anyway.
will never buy an apple product again though customer service is shocking

HT201263 Ipod white screen HELP!

hey i have an ipod touch 4th gen and this morning it went to white screen and i cannot connect to my itunes because it isnt recognizing my ipod for some reason (i am guessing because of the white screen). When i try to reset my Ipod with holding lock and home button it shows me the apple then goes back to white screen. I have never encountered this problem before so I am stuck, and will this possibly result in my ipod being dead and me having to get another one.
This was coused by me trying to update to ios 6 and it just radomly stopped and wen to white screen.

I had the same problems: constant white screen (or sometimes white with colored lines) and iTunes would not recognize the iTouch. After much experimenting, I was finally able to recover my iTouch using the following steps:
1. Update iTunes to the latest version.
2. Allow the iTouch to fully drain. (Mine was so locked up that the 2-button hold reboot wouldn't work anymore. You might try skipping this step if yours isn't quite as angry!).
3. With iTunes running, connect the iTouch to the PC.
4. Hold both the buttons until the Apple symbol appears, THEN KEEP HOLDING until a "connect to PC" screen appears.
At this point, iTunes finally recognized it long enough to allow me to select "recover". As the update was downloading, the iTouch lost connectivity. After the download was complete, I repeated step 4 above, and was able to select recover again. Although it took a very long time, eventually the recovery completed, and iOS6 was installed.
By the way, if you are like me and did not have the latest iTunes installed, the restore process will download some version of iOS5 (instead of iOS6) then refuse to go any further after the download is complete.
Hope this helps.

My MacPro won't Boot - stuck on White Screen - help?

I have a MAC PRO, it was asleep during a power outtage... Now when i try to restart the computer, it never boots - and gets caught in an endless white screen. I've tried to zap my PRAM, still nothing. I just ran out of my apple support, and they are telling me to bring it - is there anything I can do on my own to fix this without having to pay a fortune?

Google - your OEM DVD has AHT on its label
A storm can send too much juice down the modem line and fry the ethernet ports, as long as it is wired, does not need to be running - and sleep is still 'running.'
I consider UPS $200 to be worth investment - as much AppleCare and helps protect the PSU which costs more to replace. My modem had to be replaced (router seems okay) was $79.

I-Pod Keeps Flashing A White Screen.HELP!

Every time I turn my i-Pod on it flashes a white screen with an i-Pod with a sad face on it and below it it reads," www.apple.com/support/ipod". Why is it doing this? The problem just started happening recently. Please, someone help me!

First try the standard reset.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
If that does not work, connect the iPod to the computer. Does iTunes see it? If so, try using the Restore button on the iPod's Summary tab (in iTunes). This will erase it and restore its original settings.
If that does not fix the problem, it is likely that that the hard drive has gone bad.

Blackberry Curve 8520 - White Screen help!?

Hi,
I have started having problems with my Curve over the last couple of days. I'm sure you have heard of the problem before, battery gets to about 20/30% life & then a white screen appears. The only way to stop this is to plug the phone into the mains charger.
I have read other topics suggesting I backup all data then re-install the OS.. The problem is, my Blackberry Desktop Manager won't recognise my Blackberry. Windows makes the noise to suggest the phone has been found & the blackberry battery indicates its charging.
All help & suggestions would be excellent, thanks in advance.

plz needed hlep me blackberry 8520 white screen problam change lcd and ic problam is not solf plz hlep met his problam on raziqbbr

When i turn my touch all i get is a white screen help

when i turn on my touch all i get is a white screen help

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

MacBook stuck on opening White screen- help!

My MacBook recently froze while I was using it, so I shut it down by pressing down the power button. Ever since then, whenever I turn it on, it gets stuck on the opening White screen with the apple logo on. I ran a hardware test which said that there was nothing wrong with the hardware, and when I tried to run a disk utility test as advised by the manual, nothing would load on it. If anyone can advise me on what to try next or how to resolve this problem, I'd really appreciate it!

Are you saying the hard drive does not appear in Disk Utility? If so then the hard drive has failed. Otherwise do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Reinstall OS X. This will not erase the hard drive.

21" iMac stuck on white screen, help!

I have had my 21" iMac for about three months, it is brand new, not second hand and has never had any problems up until now. My iMac was running fine today, not a glitch or anything, but it was unplugged from the power socket and when I plugged it back in and turned it on, the power on sound played, then a white screen appeared with an Apple and spinning wheel. I left it on for SEVEN hours while I went out, came back and it is still not loading, so it has nothing to do with the speed of it. I ran the FSCK and it told me there were modifications made and that the Mac was okay. I rebooted it and the same thing happened. I can not use the installation disc because a) I can not find it and b) there is a disc in tere that will not come out.
Is there anything I could do before having to make an appointment with an Apple Genius?

I have rebooted and managed to reach the Recovery HD and used “Verify Disk” on the Macintosh HD and it said “The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.” so I ran the disk repair just in case. I then selected “Restart” from the Apple menu. It returns to the white screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel, but it is still not loading any further than that. Is there anything else I could possibly try?
