Bookmark topic
hi guys,
my phone got the white screen of death. preparing for a reflash i connected it to myphoneexplorer and copied data from the phone to the sim (contacts). after i disconnected the phone i saw that my screen was working again!
I was super happy - and it was all good for 3 days, until this morning I took it out of my bag and the screen was white. not REALLY white, only with a bright white tinge (you could still see the numbers etc - and it still worked). only when i turned it off/on was it truly white (i.e. couldnt see anything)
does this sound like hardware or software? dunno if it's worth the $$ to reflash
cheers

it seems to be a hardware issue. this could be a problem with your lcd screen. what's your phone, a w600?

the white dead is a bad thing, hopefully its just a fw bug, not hw. it could happen after a wrong flash or upgrade. let it check in a mobile shop, the first thing u can and have to do is to flash it again.

dont flash it if u still have a warranty on it, if not u will void ur warranty, besides if the problem is as you have described it, it doesnt sound like WSOD but a hardware problem instead, maybe something wrong with your screen

thanks guys - yep seems it's hardware, just coincidental that it worked after copying stuff from my simcard

I actually work with these things - LCDs - as an engineer. Seems like hardware problem to me but very strange behaviour that you still could see some text or numbers and then nothing.
What phone is it that you have?
What color is the display when it is turned off - light or dark?
Could you see the numbers changing on the display or were they just fixed before it died again?

yeh basically the screen when a white tinge (like a massive white overlay, as if you turn up the brightness, but was still responsibe to the menus/changes etc)
turning off-and-on - white again. it repaired itself,but broken again - so i took it back to the shop
