OKAY i'm only going to post this here. because I'm not going to register to 100 different sites to say the same thing. and... well whatever.
(feel free to plagiarise.)
There appears to be about THREE types of "white screen of death"
- white "apple logo" screen of death (which is really BSOD)
- white screen of death - software
- white screen of death - hardware
The former 2 appear solvable with a few button presses. IF however, you dropped your iphone or such. you may experience WSOD #3, which cannot be fixed with random button presses, DFU mode, restores, and other magical fixes.
IF you are under warranty. then go take it to apple or whoever.
IF you are NOT under warranty. Then time to take apart your iphone.
PROBLEM:
Basically, what has happened is the connection wire (1) has come loose. My theory is the heat from the iphone (and from your head) has caused it to stick to the screen portion, and consequently gets pulled off the board during a drop.
SOLUTION:
- TRY random button fixes before resorting to this. As you risk your iphone being damaged or voiding warranty.
- SEARCH youtube: open iphone (to find how to open your iphone. it's pretty easy actually)
- open iphone (well duh)
required tools:
- small phillips head screw driver (the kind from your local $2/discount store) note the screw size on the bottom of your iphone.
- dry steady hands (do not rip apart the iphone cover)
- suction cup (e.g. from a GPS holder) or a VERY small prying object (...)
- you will see a few stickers labelled 1 to 6. (LOOK ONLINE for pictures, optional)
- stickers (2) and (3) will overlap, so you might only see (2).
- sticker (1) however, should be visible. if it's not, it is stuck to the iphone screen. (refer to internet pictures or youtube to confirm where it is... from memory it's next to 2 & 3, but on the screen portion so it only appears as a black blob... as the number-side is stuck to the screen in case you were wondering)
IF sticker (1) not visible
- pull it off the iphone (screen portion, {cf. board portion}). it has glued itself on.
Cable 1 is currently detached.
- reattach it (might be a bit finicky; just picture yourself trying to plug in a miniature multi-pin power socket with your entire thumb obscuring your view. nothing to it)
- the attachment point should appear as... well the opposite of the plug. basically a bunch of gold pins. (or was that the other way around)
FINISHED.
to confirm the cable's whereabouts.
- SEARCH youtube: iphone repair assembly
- title: iPhone 3G Assembly - Repair Tutorial
- also useful is "iPhone 3G Disassembly - Repair Tutorial"
NOTE: This has been written for the iphone 3G.
not from me... just sayin, have fun!!!
had a 3g, hated it, replaced a screen and a battery, pain in the arse.
sold it and got an android phone....... 10x easier to use
