My 8900's screen all of the sudden went white after a battery pull the other day. I've tried wiping it and installing os with app loader many times but still the white screen comes up. I read about a fix on other bb's where the screen shorted out due to faulty solders on the charger plug in that was fixed by placing a piece of electrical tape over the 4 solders but this doesn't seem to have those. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem. My phone is dead and AT&T told me I have to get a new phone because my warranty expired just last week. Maybe there's still hope for your phone. Good luck.
That sucks... My warranty was just up at the end of August. I think it must be a hardware problem. Oh well, I'll just wait til the torch comes out in Canada on the 24th and get that I guess, until then I'm stuck with a ****ty old samsung.
I had this same thing happen to my first 8900 a couple of weeks after I bought it. Yes, it is a hardware issue. If your warranty expired, get a T6 screwdriver and try to fix it (solders could be bad, or connector is loose. IDK). If you're still under warranty, just get a replacement from your carrier/insurance company.
