Hey, I got a V800, when ever I start it up all I get is a white screen, I can ring it and i hear it ring and and all I just can't actually see anything, I've disconencted the battery for like 20 minutes and it made no difference. external screen doesnt show anything. Please help |

Is it both screens doing this?
It's probably a connector problem. There's two ribbon connectors going from the phone's motherboard in the bottom of the phone to the screens in the top of the phone. It's probably just a case of the main screen connector coming loose and needing to be put back in properly. Either have a go yourself if you're feeling brave, or take it to a phone shop, it shouldn't be an expensive repair.

Lol, wtf? I took out the screws, decided that I should chuck the battery in to see if it works, and it works fine now. Must have been a connection that popped back in or something. |

Probably just a loose connection - it probably just needed the screen's ribbon connector pushing back into position slightly!

I tell a lie, it still does it. I'll have to take it apart and push it in better like you say. I'll follow that guide someone posted about taking a v800 apart. Cheers |

I can't get the screen off, I'll end up just munting it, so i can't get the bottom off, looks like i'll have to pay someone half what I paid for the phone to fix it. |

You shouldn't need to get the screen out, it's the connector on the bottom half of the phone that connects to the motherboard - there's no need to take the screen part out!
