IPhone 3GS White Screen Of Death?

I've dropped my iPhone before (stupid, I know) but overall, no damage would come to it. Yesterday, it slipped from my hand AGAIN and when I picked it up, it had the WSOD (white screen of death). Unlike most WSOD cases though, I can still faintly see the upper right corner where it shows the battery icon and the lock icon when the phone's locked. I can still unlock it, and play music, and use apps, but overall nothing is visible except for the upper right corner. How do I fix it?

I'd say that when it slipped from your hand, something happened to the screen. This happened to me once too, and the backlight worked, but it only displayed a white screen. I'd go to either Apple themselves (might cost a lot though) or any third-party repair shop and see if you can get the screen repaired. If you're feeling ambitious, you could buy a new screen and digitizer off of eBay and try to repair it yourself, but unless you have experience doing so, I wouldn't attempt this.

  • White Screen of Death on My IPhone 3GS After Replacing Screen? I recently replaced the cracked screen of my IPhone 3GS. After reassembling it, I got the White Screen of Death. I've tried holding the power button and the home button to try to reboot, but it does not work. The phone seems to still be working normally other than the screen. In fact, it is currently playing music. Does anyone have and suggestions on how to fix this?
