White screen iPhone 3G

Hello
a few months ago my dad dropped the iPhone, glass was broken so I sent the phone to ISN-service for repairing the glass. When I got it back, the phone worked perfectly, but after a few hours the only thing I get is a white screen.
I mailed back, and now they replaced the whole LCD screen, still no luck.
Yesterday, I tried again to restore the iPhone and it works! iPhone was working perfectly, but today again I encountered the white screen.
How can I fix this? It must be sofwarethingies I think, because the iPhone has worked multiple times.
Thank you

I opened up the iPhone a few minutes ago, and there was a cable disconnected. I connected it, and now my iPhone works.
thanks

  • How to fix a white screen iphone 4s?

    Hello!
    I've had a problem with my iphone for a while now. I dropped it at the beginning of November but it worked fine so I didn't change the screen yet. However it started turning off at around 30% now and I'm unable to turn it back on. I usually manage after about 20 minutes but it brings me a lot of stress. The screen goes white with thin lines going from the top to the bottom. It also shows water damage marks but that disappears when I manage to switch it back on. Restarting it doesn't really help much and I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't afford a new phone and this one is on contract. I know that if I go to apple they will want a lot of money for the repair. Please help me manage this somehow!

    its possible that you damaged the internal hardware when it dropped. you can try a hard reset (hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until it powers down) and if that doest work, you can try a restore in iTunes. But most likely, it is damaged and you might have to replace it.

  • White screen iPhone 3GS HELP!!

    Hi, i restored my old iphone 3gs, and when it finished, i figured out the screen was totally white. it also gives me the error 29 whichi i think it is because of the baterry but with the original baterry, it still did the same (not error 29. the screen)
    if i buy a 3GS battery, and restore again, will my screen go back to life? or is my screen damaged by some X reason?
    THAAAAANKKSS!!!

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Iphone 4 Phone App White Screen/Battery Draining Fast

    I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent version of the software.  For the second time in about 5 weeks, my phone app has completely stopped working and only shows a white screen when entering.  I can still receive calls however.  The only way I could fix it before was a complete system restore, which was horrible.  My battery drains really quickly and the iphone gets really hot.  The system restore seemed to fix it for a few weeks last time.  I tried hard resets, soft resets, and everything in between. A friend of mine had the same issue with his phone. 
    Any ideas?

    I did some research.  I deleted my exchange account from work and it appeared to have fixed the problem.

  • When I try to access my iTunes Store from my iPhone 5 it opens with a blank white screen. Help!

    I've tried for several days to open my iTunes Store on my iPhone. Every time it opens, but with a blank white screen.

    Hi Upswife,
    When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 3G (8G) has the White screen with Grey lines, how do I fix it?

    Hello!, am a new iphone user I bought an iPhone off my friend and put my sim card in the iPhone.
    I've had my iPhone for 2 months nearly, when I got the iPhone it was in Great condition still is...BUT... I have the 'white screen of death' but with grey lines down the screen, I thought it was only tempory because when I smacked the phone against something it would work again, but now the problem is Permanant!!
    I've been on youtube and typed in my problem and people have suggested:
    - Holding the home screen and lock at the same time (it did nothing)
    - Holding the home screen and lock and the up volume key (it did nothing)
    - Restoring and updating the phone (it just came up with errors 4,9 and 21)
    I really have no idea what to do, can I replace the whole screen? would that work?
    or am I utterly screwed?
    I really can't live with out having my iPhone! Help!

    sounds like your LCD is broken. Replacing it would fix your problem. If you're handy with mechanical things you can replace it yourself, there are plenty of video's online who show you how. Order the parts and do it yourself, or you can pay roughly $50-75 to have it replaced.

  • I dropped my iPhone 3G and now there is a white screen that will not go away.. what can I do to fix this?

    Okay so I dropped my iPhone 3G today and ever since it has been stuck on this white screen that has stripes on it. I have tried holding the home button with the up volume and the power button for a while and that didn't work. I also tried just the home button and the power button. I also tried taking it apart to see if something was loose but nothing was. PLEASE HELP I don't want to get rid of my iphone!

    Applecare+ for iPhone covers two instances of accidental damage for a fee of £49 per claim (in the UK).

    If you don't have Applecare you can usually get a refurbished unit from an Apple Retail Store cut price - though they may not have any 3 models in stock and you may be 'forced' to upgrade to a 3GS.

  • When I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    when I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • IPhone 4S user in Japan.  App store won't load...only white screen.  Help?

    I am living in Japan and have an iPhone 4S through Softbank.  Yesterday, the app store on my phone quit loading.  When I open the app store the top bar shows up and the bottom shows up (featured, charts, genius, search, updates) but the middle is only a white screen.  The exception is Genius.  When I click on that, then results do show up.  But if I click on Featured, Charts or Search, the middle just stays a blank, white screen.  There are some apps I would like to purchase, but since I can't get any search results I can't get them.  I've turned my phone off several times, logged out of the app store and back in a couple times.  None of that has worked.  Internet works fine.  I am WiFi and 3G and have unlimited data.
    Any tips?

    Mine too... the problem started last night, I made my friends check with their phones and same problem. We have tried different ways to fix it but nothing. If it continuous for another day or so I think I will go to Softbank or the Apple Store for help.

  • My 5 month old iphone 5s just shut itself off 45 minutes ago, and I have tried charging it and the only thing that appears on the screen is a white screen with the black apple. How is this repaired?

    About 45 minutes ago my iphone 5S just shut off on its own. I have tried charging it only to have the white screen with the black apple showing. How can this be repaired?

    Keep it plugged in and do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring he red slider if that appears.
