WSOD: White Screen of Death - Problem

So it happened to me recently. I've tried the CALL+3+* on startup, it reseted but the screen still remains white, what should I do ;S I've got my LED recently changed already, so I'm not sure what's causing it and what's the solution?
Thanks.

It is highly possible that the problem is related to the display change. You should send it back to the care point which replaced the display for them to have a look at it.

WSOD (White Screen Of Death)

Hi, I have a FLEX 4.0 application that has been in production for some time now. It has been working well but recently we upgraded to the 4.5 framework.
Around this time we started experiencing (what I call) the WSOD (White Screen of Death).
Normally our application loads a login screen (MXML). Now sometimes it doesnt, it just hangs with a big white area.
The HTML wrapper is fine, its just the SWF that wont load. Sometimes it happens on a fresh HTTP request, sometimes it only happens with a browser refresh. (it does not appear to be a browser caching problem is my point)
It seems to work better in Safari, whereas Firefox and IE are 85% of the time displaying the WSOD.
When it does happen in Safari, I could see an error message being displayed *briefly* BEHIND the WSOD. That message is specific to our app and is usually caused when external dependencies cannot be found or loaded (like an XML configuration file). We have used an XML configuration file successfully with the 4.0 framework. That file is hosted outside of the sandbox, in a secure place. If the file is not found, the entire app is disabled. The reason I mention this is because it behaves like it's not there in the 4.5 framework. This is only an assumption and I am still trying to figure this out.
My questions are:
1.) Is anyone else experiencing this WSOD?
2.) Could it be RSL's and the way they have been reworked in 4.5?
3.) Is this a framework specific problem? (We migrated many of our components to 4.5, this would be catastrophic for us)
4.) Is this a javascript bug?
5.) What else could cause WSOD or bad RSL loading?
Any help or feedback is appreciated. Thanks...

One thing I notice is that when I go to the Global Settings panel (for Flash player) using Firefox, I cant even see the panel. Its like the panel has the WSOD too!

^ Does this work in Firefox for anyone else? I have adjusted the panel settings using IE, but I wonder why WSOD is happening here?? Help?

My ipod touch 4g got the wsod(white screen of death)

My Ipod got the white screen of death and now I can't figure out how to fix it. I don't have a warrenty so im keeping that as a last resort and I'm like 90% sure its a hardware problem not software. I also can't enter DFU mode because it won't respond or Turn it off WHAT DO I DO!

All you can if it is not a hardare problem is to let the battery fully drain. Then after charging fofr atleast an hour try the rest, restore and recovery mode as required.

IPhone 3G White Screen of Death Problem

So a month or two ago, my deactivated (had no cell service, still worked for games and such) iPhone 3G got a white screen. It would go from that screen to black if I pressed the lock button. So after looking around on the Internet, I still found no solution. Most just said, press the lock and home buttons for 10 seconds, and some said do that but also press volume up. None of this worked. When I did try the lock and home buttons, it would give me a black screen, and go back to white. I really do not want to have to buy an iPod Touch and waste my money, if there is a solution to this.

Well, since the phone number is in Greece & the support page is for Greece, I would guess Greek .

N97 White screen of death (WSOD) with FW V11.0.21

I have my nokia N97 almost a week now. This morning opera mini froze and I couldn't turn it off so I removed the battery. After reinserting the battery and turned the phone on I got the White screen of death (WSOD), just a white screen with the word nokia on it. I tried to boot it without the simcard and also waiting 30+ minutes before reinserting the battery. But I still have de WSOD...
Do I have to keep it on to drain the battery or are there other methods to fix this problem. I don't feel like sending it to Nokia because I have to wait more than 2 weeks before it's fixed...
The past 2 weeks I have used it intensively, installed a lot of apps. Put 300+ songs on it and and some movies. I had the email widget on the home screen, I heard that's one of the problem on other forums...
Any ideas how I can boot up normally....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

WSOD
Hard Reset
The combination is:
Shift + Space bar + Backspace + Power your phone
Instructions to bypass WSOD:
All you need is: Methodology 1 as posted by some other user
N97
Charger
Follow these steps:
Turn off your phone.
Insert charger.
Remove charger right after screen lights up.
Wait a couple of seconds till screen turns off and just after that press power button.
After standart vibration notification just put your charger in.
VOILA! You can insert your PIN again!
I am using this method for almost a month and it seems that this is only one way to boot up my N97.
It would be nice to hear if this method works for you
Anyway, I have found a solution, that works for me everytime the WSOD comes up. It goes like this when WSOD keeps coming up:
Instructions to bypass WSOD:
All you need is: Methodology 1 as posted by some other user
1. Pull battery and re-insert it.
2. Power up the phone by holding the "Power button + RED key + GREEN key + Camera key" and wait 30 seconds or so.
3. After the wait the phone should come up normally asking for the SIM passcode and everything is fine.
"Power button + RED key + GREEN key + Camera key" is a sort of "soft reset", it keeps all the installations and everything as opposed to the "hard reset".
Hope this helps, and let's all hope that Nokia QA start testing their smartphone software with a little more care. I cannot imagine that normal people would live with such blatant bugs.
My solution to yesterday experience
What I have done:
1. Switch Off Nokia N97 by pulling out the battery
2. Pull out the SIM CARD and Memory Card
3. Switch on The Nokia N97 without SIM AND MEMORY CARD
4. Then do the Factory Settings by going to phone menu options because by this time WSOD will be over.
5. Then Insert the SIM and restart it.
6. Again Switch Off the same and insert Memory Card.
7. Switch on again and restore settings as backedup whether in your PC or memory card to get last settings.

Since updating the software on my iPhone 3gs it has developed the so called "white screen of death". The phone has not been dropped or damaged in anyway, the problem only developed after software upgrade. Rung apple and they were less than helpful

since updating my iphone 3gs software it has developed the so called "white screen of death" this happened immediately after software install. It has never been dropped or damaged. I have tried the solution which seems to pop up most of holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds but this hasnt helped at all. Tried ringing apple, who were less than helpful and disinterested as the phone is out of warranty. I am hoping there is a solution which doesnt mean shelling out for a new phone! any ideas?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:

White Screen of Death at Startup - Boot Camp Based Problem

I recently received my Intel-based 20" iMac yesterday and this morning I set it up and transfered all of my files from my old Windows XP computer successfully. I then played around with the iLife suite and a few other programs and decided I should probably run Boot Camp and set up Windows for a few Windows-based programs I need and some games that are Windows only.
I started to look up Boot Camp on the Apple website, then realized iMacs that came with Leapord pre-installed should already have Boot Camp on them. I searched in Spotlight for "Boot camp" and found the "Boot Camp Assistant." I thought that was close enough, so I started the application up.
First, it told me I needed to partition my hard drive and create a space for Windows. I figured I would have only a few esential programs on it, so I opted for a partion of about 10-12 GB if I remember correctly. The installer then told me to insert my Windows disc and I then put in my Windows XP SP1 installation CD. It read it, shutdown, then booted back up into what I recognized as the Windows setup screen.
It went through the normal setup steps, until it got to a point where it asked what partition I should install Windows on. There was only one partition listed, so obviously I chose that one, but what was weird was the partition said it was over 100,000 MB, which is not the 10 GB I told it to partition. I got scared when it told me it would have to format the partition since it wasn't suitable for a Windows installation yet. I figured it wouldn't hurt to recheck the amount I partitioned, so I quit out of the Windows installer.
Next, my Mac restarted and went to the infamous white screen of death.
I have tried basically every single way to fix this.
I tried:
Alt - Option - PR (Reset the PRam) And waited for both 2, 3, 4, and 5 dings
Alt
Option
Shift (Safe Mode)
Put in the Mac OS X disc and booted up holding:
D
C
None of these worked. Sorry if my key abbreviations are off, by the way, because I'm writing this on a Windows laptop and I haven't gotten the keys down for Macs yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Apple call support is curretly closed, at least in my timezone. I'll probably try calling them tomorrow, but mostly I'm afraid of having to get a whole new harddrive and/or iMac. I haven't backed up my data anywhere yet (this is just my first day with the Mac) so if I lose the data, there goes upwards of a few thousand dollars in music and other data expenses.
Thanks in advance for ideas, I'll try anything you throw at me now, as long it doesn't void the warranty or involve formatting my hard drive. (Though if you know a way to format my hard drive AND save my data, that would be even better)

All the data that you transfered to the iMac should still be on the PC which originally contained the content. Transferring to the Mac is in reality only copying.
A Boot Camp Windows installation requires Windows SP2 only;
To use Boot Camp, you need:
1. An Intel-based Macintosh computer with a built-in or USB keyboard and a built-in trackpad or USB mouse.
2. Mac OS X 10.5 or later
3. The latest firmware updates available for your Intel-based Mac.
4. At least 10 GB of free space on your startup disk (single partition).
5. A full, single-disc version of Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc.
  Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2. 
6. Boot Camp Assistant (find it installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Leopard).
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

Unusual White Screen of Death

Hello everyone,
yesterday my iphone 3G (2.2 firmware) showed me the white screen of death. i didnt dropped it or drawn it, everything was just as usual, but suddenly when i tried to call someone this white screen appeared (takin the whole display)and i couldnt do anything. i tried to reset it by pushing home and sleep buttons together but it didnt work out. it just became a brick with a black screen. i came home and plug into the itunes and restored it, but somehow this white screen still appears, and after i tried to reset it, it just came to be a brick again. resets are just a temporary solution. what is interesting that sometimes it comes back to working regulary. i can see my home screen, can make calls or txt, but then this problem comes up again. basically, i made a screen shot while i was seeing this white screen of death thing, and when it worked again come into my photos folder and saw that on these shots ive made everything is looking normally, BUT i was taking em while i had this problem. its seems very weird to me.
should i just go and change my iphone or there is any solution for the WSoD?

I'm having a similar problem. I'm getting a white screen several times a day, but a hard reset or sometimes simply waiting for 10 minutes brings it back to life again. One thing I realised was that the phone is still working when the white screen appears. I can swipe the unlock bar and hear the 'click', and it rings if I call if from another phone. Is your phone definitely frozen when you get the white screen? The fact that your screen shots look normal suggests it might still working fine underneath.
I haven't tried a full restore yet. I will do so, but I think it sounds like a hardware problem.

White screen of death from game. And a new game not working at all

My iPod touch 4th gen has been getting the white screen of death when I try to play plants vs zombies why does this keep happening and is there a way to stop it from happening again?
And I recently installed fruit ninja and it won`t work at all it opens but it just says loading and then it crashes and I've tried running it in safe mode and it still dies the same thing what can I do to get the game to work?

- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipod touch 4th gen. is stuck on white screen of death.

I recentally had dropped my ipod touch and when i picked it up it was stuck on the white screen of death. I tried to hard restart by holding down the power and home button at the same time, but the screen would only turn off then come right back on. Then i let the power drain. After it would no longer turn on i put it on the charger to find that the white screen would pop right back up. I didnt want to restore it but because its my only option i put it on my compute but itunes couldnt acess it because i had a passcode on it. is there a differnt way to restore it or fix it? HELLLPPP MEEEE!

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.

IPod Nano white screen of death - RESURRECTED! :D

Alright, here's the deal...A friend of mine has a new iPod Nano and gave it to me because it had stopped working, and was hoping it was worth something to recover. Sorry about the long story!
It _wouldn't_ turn on. But, when connecting it to the computer via the USB dock cable, it comes on for a few seconds on a grey-whitish screen. Then turns back off, reboots, and tries again. Step 1 step 2. Nothing.
Although, 'Diagnostics mode' or whatnot it is, does work however. It would still be a faint grey screen, but whiter and more vibrant, as if it's saying "Hey, I'm alive! I'm alive!!!" and I can go through settings and make it (sometimes) change colors, and reboot the iPod.
I was thinking since iTunes never recognized it (It was plugged in the whole time) that I would drown in just for the sake of it.
Well, 3 hours later after attempting to kill the poor thing, it... resurrected itself.
I'm serious, it really seems to have unbelievably done it. When turning it on, I get 2 beeps, but no restart loop, the LCD stays on the white screen though, BUT, here's the good thing.
NOW, I hear the system 'click' sounds when using the buttons and such that it's going through the menu, good news so far! It seems like it because after the 'boot' sequence (it appears to boot very fast, strangely).
The good thing is (kinda) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1517571?start=0&tstart=0 ... So I suspect that somehow, this method of submerging it under water, letting it dry, blowdrying it, and then leaving it in the heat, somehow restored the SD chip inside of it... possibly only for now... I'm going to use this moment to hopefully get all data off the device, and see for one last time if it's fully restorable...
I have the power! Ok, so I hooked it up to the wall charger (just put the wall connector on the USB cord) and it now beeps two times, and after about 30 seconds or so, I get to the main menu, screen still white, but I can certainly hear the click letting me know I'm 'navigating' the iPod. It doesn't appear to have any music on it, or maybe it does, but I need to connect some earphones first. Or, it supposed to be display the 'sad iPod' icon, but I just don't see it, therefor, I'm blind as to the status of it.
I likely guess it's the battery, since every time I disconnect it, it goes dead. Yep, just looked back, still on. Yep, still menu clicking. Yep, I can start it with no problems now. Any clue what I can try to do to resolve this? Obviously it's turning on, and it seems to be doing something, it boots, (apparently) so that's a good sign.
Please, is there any hope at all in this iPod? At all?
AND, IT JUST BEEPED 2 TIMES AGAIN! And I was just typing... why did it do this? (Funny thing is, how it still works!) Is that really the menu button clicking? That would explain it, I mean it only plays the menu clicking sound AFTER about 30 seconds of it 'booting' to the iPod firmware, so it obviously has some sort of life to it. If I hook up my earphones... Holy Mac! I hear music! It's alive!!! It's alive!!! Oh my man!!! Yes!
It has hope, in a way!
Atleast, I hope, but it works! Freaking amazing! Jamming to some awesome beats right now, some cool hip hop, sound quality you ask? Great, actually! I don't know how, don't want to know, but it seems trying to kill this iPod actually resulted in it being resurrected? How? Who knows! This is awesome! iPod truly CAN have 2 lives, I guess!
Cool stuff, I swear on that! My favorite song was on here too!
How to adjust the volume on the iPod Nano? I don't care, it's playing at full volume, and it's awesome!
The sad thing is, it still has the white screen of death, and the battery is apparently fried still (or needs a good 24-hour charging).
This iPod has been sitting dead as a dud in the storage room for a good 1 year or so, unused. And now it came back to life in a flash. Unbelievable.
I love you Apple.

Your problem was moisture. It was wet inside and sitting around for a year let it all dry up.
If you get this kind of thing happening, speed the process up by putting the iPod into a zip lock baggie with a dessicant (you know those little silica pouches) or even some rice to absorb the moisture. Let it sit for a few days and it should dry it all out.

White screen of death - iMac OSX Lion

I upgraded my 2007 iMac to Lion and after a few days of perfect running the think locked up. When I forced the power off and back on it seemed to be booting fine (chimes, apple logo, disk spinning up and I could hear the drive head seeking) but then it froze up in the "White Screen of death" (WSOD). It was complete lockd up again, and nothing would bring it back. I had to reboot again. And again. Everytime it seems to be ok, but then locks up after it the screen goes white. . I did command option , p r keys with three chimes. I have unplugged it and let it sit. I disconnected all periferals. I reset the SMC. I booted into Single User mode and used unix commands to check the HD. No errors found. I disconnected my wireless Time Capsule.
Note that it appears to be booting fine at first with the useaul Apple Logo. And when I boot into the Single User mode all the text indicates no faults. The display and HD appear fine.
I inserted my original OSX Leopard disk and and tried to boot from it, using the "C" boot process and the Option boot method to manuualy select the DVD. No good. It just went into the WSOD again.
I have no idea what to try next!

RATS!
After ersing (and zeroing) out the HD nothing changed. I still could not completely boot up the install disk. I tried the original Leopard disk, and the Apple Lion USB thumbdrive. Both started the boot process, and gave me the grey Apple logo. But then after a minute or two jumped into the White Screen of Death.
I then replace both RAM chips. No change.
Now I have a brick. A very large and heavy brick.
But the computer will woerk as Target Disk Mode, and it actually goes through a normal boot cycle. That is, I can go into the Single Ud=ser mode and all UNIX command work fine.
Does anyone have any additional ideas of what can cause this?

I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro (2009) & the "White Screen of Death" is present. Need help?

I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro (2009). Recently I bought an extended hard drive because I had used up the memory on my iDisk. As I was running the Time Machine back up on my new extended drive, the battery on my Pro ran out causing it to shut down. Once I hooked up my Pro to the power cord & logged in, the "White Screen of Death" appeared on the home display. Obviously the battery still works, my phone is able to charge along with the extended drive, I am able to adjust the lighting on my keyboard along with adjusting the brightness on my screen, but the "White Screen" remains. I need help in determining the cause of this issue & the steps I'll need to take in order to resolve this. I love my Pro, all my documents, photos & music are on it & the last thing I want to do is kill my wallet by buying a new Pro. So could someone on here please help me? It would be greatly appreciated & I thank you in advance!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to a Mac Pro tower, not to any other model. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Satellite A350 - White Screen Of Death

Hi
I recently broke my screen in a temper tantrum and sent it in to Toshiba repair.
They replaced my screen. That was about a month ago.
I installed windows 7 3-4 days ago and it worked fine.
I opened my laptop one night to discover a blank white screen.
After turning it off and on, taking the battery out and in, the white screen still remained, then it randomly appeared with system restore options
I restored the system and applied a microsoft hotfix to counteract the supposed windows 7 error. it did not work.
The white screen appears when i put the laptop to sleep (shut the laptop) or shut it down.
The screen appeared again yesterday and i left it overnight hoping it would change.
My sister pulled out and put back in the battery and a screen appeared asking how you would like to start windows.
I started windows then reinstalled Windows Vista using a mirosoft setup disc.
After installing AVG antivirus it told me to restart.
I restarted the laptop and instead of the toshiba logo appearing the white screen of death appeared.
It stayed for 10-20 seconds then my laptop started.
I looked at this article (http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2008/04/13/laptop-lcd-screen-turned-white/) and it suggested the screen may have problems. Should i send it back in to Toshiba?
Can someone supply further diagnosis?
My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450
2.13ghz
4.00GB RAM
32 bit OS
So basically i have a random white screen when i restart, turn on or bring the laptop back from sleeping. whether it recovers is a strange thing with many factors. i don't think its my OS because it happens on Vista and Windows 7
please help as much as you can. i don't wan't to take it in for repair as it may cost money

The screen has a 2 month warranty from the repair and the laptop still has half a year of general warranty. when the white screen appears i tried using HDMI to connect it to a TV and there was no change. Could it be due to the fact i upgraded to Windows 7? if so will they still charge me? is there any test i can do to check if it is a Hardware issue or a screen problem?
i shut the laptop for a while yesterday and my brother opened it to see the white screen. i grabbed the right side of the screen and pushed it back and the logon screen came up. what would that suggest?
thanks for the help
