Zen 4GB... Flashing white screen when powered o

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem.
My new Zen... since the day I received it, flashes a white screen when it is just sitting there on my desk. It turns on then off real quick randomly... I notice it because I keep it at my computer desk... it happens at random, I actually see it happen maybe to 4 times a day. It does it on 4 different firmwares including the newest firmware. I was hoping the next one may fix it but it does seem more logical that this is a hardware issue. It works perfectly whiled turned on... but it seems possessed by turning on by itself and I am thinking of returning it before it turns into a bigger problem. I'm assuming bad wiring... maybe just with mine...
Don't let this discourage you though... it is a great mp3 player.

Yes, i have that flashing screen, too. It?s so very annoying ...
With the stock firmware, the .03, I have only problem, the hold-mode.
If I turn hold-mode on, the display shuts down, quite normal.
If I turn hold-mode off, the display shows only a white screen, nothing else,
music keeps running and I can push keys, but i can't see anything ...

  • How can I fix my flashing white screen? Does it need repair?

    I left my ipod touch to charge and when I went to get it I clicked on the home button and the screen was white. I googled about this white screen and I kept hearing about this "white screen of death", and saw alot of videos. Well how my iPod touch looks, well its not exactly white but rather is somewhat white as if its flashing white. I can vaguely see the ipod icons, and can play pandora or other apps but I can't see a clear screen because of the flashing white screen. I was wondering if maybe it has to do with internal things I need to get fixed like the lcd, or the digitizer. Is there anything I can do, or do I ttake it in to get it fixed? I tried clicking the home button and the power button at the same time but yes the apple icon appears but also the flashing white comes out. I dont know what to do.
    Here are some pictures

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

    Hello all,
    I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
    What I have tried so far to no avail:
    Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
    Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    Changed the watch face to display.
    Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
    Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
    Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
    Regards,

    Hey,
    I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
    Have you found any solution?
    Bah, this is annoying.

  • Blue screen when powering off

    I recently purcahsed a one year old Lenovo 3000, it had Windows XP installed and I upgraded this to Windows Vista with no problems. I then renamed the laptop and deleted the previous owners user files and that's when I had a problem. When I power down the laptop I get a Blue Screen saying something about a dump and saying it was doing something to protect my PC ?  I found some kind of fault finding log and it mentioned something about the pc's name and also something about being unable to access a certain user file. I changed the computer name back to the original one and unerased the original user file but I still get the Blue Screen when powering down.
    Is it possible to get a replacement software DVD that will get me back to square one please, thanks for any help. Dan McLean in Port Glasgow. 

    This really sounds like shoddy drivers combined with an IRQ conflict.
    I suggest you post your IRQ's from System Info, for example:
    IRQ 0   System timer   OK
    IRQ 1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard   OK
    IRQ 4   Communications Port (COM1)   OK
    IRQ 5   WinFast TV2000 XP WDM Audio Capture   OK
    IRQ 6   Standard floppy disk controller   OK
    IRQ 8   System CMOS/real time clock   OK
    IRQ 9   Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System   OK
    IRQ 11   NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management   OK
    IRQ 12   Logitech-compatible Mouse PS/2   OK
    IRQ 13   Numeric data processor   OK
    IRQ 14   Primary IDE Channel   OK
    IRQ 15   Secondary IDE Channel   OK
    IRQ 16   RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition   OK
    IRQ 17   WinFast TV2000 XP WDM Video Capture   OK
    IRQ 18   Creative SB Live! series   OK
    IRQ 20   NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator   OK
    IRQ 21   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller   OK
    IRQ 22   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller   OK
    IRQ 23   Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller   OK
    Also, as you intend to DL and install the  nVidia Drivers make sure you get the sound drivers from Realtek Downloads too.
    What Drivers are you using for the AIW?

    I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
    Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
    PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.

  • White screen when I turn the Satellite M50 on

    I intermittently just get a white screen when I turn the computer on. Usually the problem is solved by switching the computer off and trying again - but sometimes I get a white screen again.
    It seems to be connected to use of external devices - can anyone give me clear instructions about what should/should not be connected when I start and shut down the computer? Or any other suggested solutions?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply/advice - and the tip about Antivir. I used to use AVG and then Norton came as a package with this laptop....will have a re-think when my subscription need renewing.
    I have updated the display/graphics driver but am still having the same problem of a white screen at boot-up. On reflection I think it is possibly a loose connection as I have just been a long trip with the laptop - including a fairly bumpy 4 hour bus ride - and I recall having the same problem several months ago which self-corrected after a similar trip (taking it down to a Toshiba ASP who never saw it as they were closed for the week-end and I had to get back to work!). This may sound strange but I took the laptop for a walk yesterday to see if any loose connection would shift and it then booted up on the second attempt rather than the 8th!
    I guess I'll have to take it to the ASP - unfortunately it's no longer under warranty.
    EDIT:
    Problem solved. High temperature caused this issue

  • I have a bright white screen when turning on my ipod nano 7th gen.  Have tried resetting etc etc. Any further ideas?

    I have a bright white screen when turning on my nano 7th gen. Have tried resetting and restoring settings - no change. Any ideas please?

    Hello pipworms,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano's was just showing a white screen.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Display shows a white screen
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds).
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    I got this information from the following article for the 6th generation iPod nano.  The steps are the same, except I updated the reset steps with the reset for the 7th generation iPod nano:
