White screen? Resetting doesn't work

I've tried resetting like a million times! Still nothing, my screen is still white. I have the 160GB. I won't restore because thats over 24,000 songs gone. I dropped it today on the pavement, it wasn't even a hard drop. Can someone tell me how to fix this please?

- Try connecting to comutr and then try to restor.
- If still white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

  • White screen (reset doesn't fix, restore doesn't fix, no logo at boot)

    Hi guys,
    Wondering if anyone can help me with this issue. I've read a bit about the iphone's "white screen of death", which, according to forum posts, can usually be fixed by a hard reset or an iTunes restore. My iPhone 3G also shows just a white screen but neither a hard reset nor a full restore has fixed it.
    I can connect my phone to iTunes and I can happily read all my data. iTunes had no problem restoring the phone and I upgraded to the latest firmware. I can even interact with the phone by touching the screen (e.g. I hear the unlock click when I slide my finger along the bottom of the screen) but the screen remains white. It seems the phone is "there", but the screen is just completely useless. I haven't seen anything other than the white screen since this issue arose yesterday, not even the logo during reset or during restore.
    Can anyone help or recommend a solution?
    Cheers,
    Alex

  • Black screen/reset doesn't work/restore error 1601

    All of a sudden my iphone 3gs went dead. Reset with home and lock button does nothing. Plugging into a charger shows nothing on the screen either. When I connect to itunes (on a powerbook G4), it sees an iphone in recovery mode that needs to be restored. When i choose restore, it first gets the software, but when trying to update the phone it give the error "iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1601)."
    Anyone know a fix for this? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Hi,
    Did you perhaps change provider recently?
    I had the simlock taken of my old iPhone 3G to give it to my daughter.
    The unlock procedure did not run the way the T-Mobile 10-step procedure described, after step 7 nothing happened for like an hour and a half (instead of the 30 minutes waiting time indicated) and all of a sudden the 3G was connected to the provider of my daughter.
    Skipping steps 8-10 of the procedure.
    According to T-Mobile support "something must have gone wrong with Apple during the unlock procedure over there"
    And now, less than 20 hours of unlocking, we experience the same problems as you do.
    A black screen, or just the Apple logo for 10-15 seconds when on the adapter, often no connection possible to iTunes.
    And every now and again the iPhhone does connect to iTunes with a window popping up "a iPhone needing restore is connected"
    However, restore is broken off every time, with this annoying "unknown error 1601"
    And yes, I did uninstall iTunes and the AppleMobileDevice-thing.
    What I am wondering about is that on the internet most discussions link error 1601 to jailbreaking.
    This iPhone was never jailbroken, but could it "think" it has been because of some error in the procedure of unlocking the simlock and changing from T-Mobile to Vodafone?
    And if does, what is the solution?

  • Glowing white screen, reset not working

    my IPod touch won't respond to anything, I have browsed thru lots of help pages but nothing works.  I have a white glowing screen on my ipod touch and it won't hard reset, it won't connect to itunes on my computer, nothing happens or works.  what do I do now?  is it broken?

    First, 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.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod 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/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview (9879 Build)

    Why Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview?
    It works well Windows 8.1, but why not in Windows 10?

    Hi PriTeddy,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    As Paul Adare said, Microsoft has noticed such issue, they are listed in following blog:
    http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/
    Some known problems:
    As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
    •In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
    •You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
    •Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
    •Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
    •There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
    Let’s wait for next builds.

  • White screen - Laptop doesn't recognise own display as default

    Hi all,
    I've had a search on the forum for the same issue but there doesn't seem to be any issue exactly matching this, so posting.
    I bought an IdeaPad Flex 14 about 9 months ago. It was fine up til about 6 months ago.
    Then it started to boot to a white screen everytime it's switched on. It doesn't matter if that is from Shutdown, hibernate or sleep.
    As soon as the power button is pressed, there is a white screen, there is no booting information or Lenovo logo first, just straight to a white screen.
    If connected to an external display (TV or monitor) then the 2nd display will show what you would expect: boot information, Lenovo logo, windows login. When you get to the desktop, everything as expected and all apps working.
    You can also change the display settings to duplicate and the laptop display will change from white to windows desktop and the external display remains on desktop (so duplicate working fine).
    If you change to extend, also working as expected.
    Unplug the HDMI cable and back to white screen on the laptop.
    I've noticed when you go into display options that the laptop seems to think that the laptop display is the 2nd display. I.e. if you click identify, the external display flashes a "1" and the laptop flashes a "2".
    It's possible to change all this so that it's the other way around (laptop display now shows "1").
    You can now unplug the HDMI cable (assuming you are on either the duplicate or display PC only option) and the laptop display shows the windows desktop.
    you can use the laptop for hours with no issue.
    As soon as it sleeps or hibernates or shuts down, when you start it up again, it's back to a white screen.
    Connecting it to an external display, the settings are back to how they were again: laptop display is display "2" and external is display "1".
    When the laptop has the white screen, there is never any flickering, just a solid white screen. When the external display is attached or the display settings changed, the laptop display responds immediately and is constant until another change is made.
    Trying to make it clear that it isn't an intermittent fault and that it obeys very clear rules.
    I've tried updating various display (and other drivers) and also regressing to earlier versions one version at a time - still the same issue
    I've looked in the BIOS settings and made changes (carefully after researching and then changed them back again) - still same issue
    I've tried a windows refresh (wipe everything except personal files) - still the same issue
    I've tried a windows reset (wipe absolutely everything) - still same issue.
    I'm not sure it's a hardware issue but possibly a driver or firmware issue. In my limited knowledge, I would say that at some fundamental level the default setting for the laptop is set to something other than the laptop display and this needs changing. But I can't find any reference on how to do this.
    The laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14 running Windows 8.1

    Not likely a general firmware flaw as I've not seen this discussed before. Unless reflashing the bios helps (so you have a corrupted bios) or resetting the firmware to factory default settings then I fear a hardware fault. Sounds like something to do with the screen rotation mechanism as connecting a second monitor as the primary will force landscape rotation (simply disabling rotation may have an effect, may not). Thing is, this is happening before even the bios is fully engaged so it feels like a problem with the hardware mechanism/detector.
    Do try imaging the drive then restoring to factory install. Just in case it is the UEFI boot mechanism getting messed up.
    This is just my thinking. I may, of course, be very wrong. This is where I would start to work it out from though.

  • Wrt120n resetting doesn't work

    Putting this router back in service, I reset (10 and 30 sec hold) until lights flashed. Unplugged it. Came back and connected to computer. Used default u/n = blank and p/w = admin -- doesn't work, can't get to control screen. Tried various combinations and still won't work. How do I get router to respond? Tech support won't help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Login through FF wouldn't work do matter how my settings are. MSIE login worked first time. "To reset this, unplug the modem and plug it back in again" Did this many times. "What I usually have to do is connect a computer straight to the modem to get the modem to register its MAC address. " Did that too. "Then when that is connected to the internet, I connect up the WRT120N to the modem and clone the MAC address to match the computer MAC address." Not sure how this is done. But I never had to do this when shifting routers around lots of different installations -- more than 10, anyway. I just plugged the router into the modem, rebooted the modem, and everything worked. But that was using Netgear and other brands. This is the first Linksys I've tried, and I'm not real happy about it! Especially with the **bleep** the setup program put on my computer -- two services and four installed programs, and a desktop item that couldn't be removed. Took about 15 minutes to figure out where it put everything and another 10 to uninstall it all.

  • Ipod has only white screen. reset

    Ipod (4th gen) just went blank/white screen. Pressed menu & center and apple logo appears and was able to reset. Used after few minutes, screen when blank again. Able to reset & resync many times and can hear music but still white screen being displayed.

    You could always try to restore the iPod. If that doesn't resolve the problem you'll have to have the iPod serviced.

  • Microphone on iPad 3 stopped working.reset doesn't work

    HEllo,
    Can anyone help me in regards to the microphone on ipad3? It was working fine yesterday but today it doesn't work. I tried resetting by holding the home and power button, restored original settings and nothing. Anyone had this problem? What do I do?

    I saw one post where a user said dust got inside the small microphone hole. Using a vacuum cleaner removed the dust and restored the audio.
