White Screen on Razr, What is a "Strip Problem"

Before you open it and look inside it check to see if the magnetic switch is stuck. Check it with a kitchen magnet to the upper righthand corner of the keypad. There is a magnet in the lower righthand corner to activate it. Do some of the function work when it is closed? If they do then it is not the cable but the switch. Does the outside screen look the same as if it is closed then it is this switch? Could be a bad one, something stuck in there, or it could be stuck.

yes my friend.you have to change the flex (rippon) cable.is not an easy job so i suggest you to take it to qualify technician

the same thing happened to me. i just slammed my phone face-down into my palm a few times, and the screen went back to normal.

the pounding. did it for me

the hitting the phone like a pack of cigarettes really worked

HERE IS MY SOLUTION, AND I AM SERIOUS.
I HAD THE WHITE SCREEN PERMANENTLY. IT HAPPENED WHEN MY PHONE FELL A FEW FEET OUT OF MY CAR WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. AFTER SMACKING IT HARD LIKE A DECK OF CARDS, EVERY WAY, THAT DIDN'T WORK, THEN I GOT KINDA P.O. AND THREW THE PHONE UP ABOUT 6 FEET SO IT SLAMMED DOWN HARD ON MY TILE FLOOR. THAT ALSO DID NOT FIX IT. THEN I DID THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING. I DROPPED IT ABOUT 4 FEET ONTO A HARD TILE FLOOR, PHONE CLOSED, SO IT HIT ON ITS LEFT SIDE ON THE HARD TILE FLOOR. IT FIXED IT! I AM SERIOUS!

my phone was like this for about days and I tried all of these solutions and one of my own that used to work for my old gameboy (slam it on ur palm like a new pack of cigarettes) so I think my switch may of had something stuck in it's way. Thanks for your help hope to not be back, lol.

I have the same problem, White on the inside blue and also blank on the out side. I tried holding the # and * buttons and a blue M ( for motorolla) on a blue screen (on the inside)and came up with the words "bootloader USB INIT" alongthe bottom. Does this mean i need a new battery?

LOL... beating the **** out of this piece of **** phone actually fixed it... seriously... if your screen goes out... throw it around and bang it on things and it will work again. The RAZR is the worst phone ever created. Two cans and a string is better technology.

Holy S$$T! That actually worked! Thanks.......funny to think old school S%^t like that can still work hahahhaha

This is what i did with mine and it worked,

I turned off my phone wait tell its all the way off.
Then You Pull the battery wait about 5 Minutes Then blow on the inside of the razr then put the battery back in and it shall work

I simply smashed my phone two times into a box full of candies and now it works GREAT

Thank you a million times over... tapping the phone on my hand like one does with a new pack of cigarettes TOTALLY WORKED for my Razr V3. I've been so frustrated with it for weeks because I couldn't tell who was calling or use any feature when I was on the phone. I guess it must have been the plug not being seated properly. I hope to never have to be on this message board again :-) God bless!

This also happened to me. White screen inside and small screen was also blank. It started only a couple of days ago. I had just purchased a new batter so I instantly thought of the new battery as somehow disrupting the magnetic field of the phone. I recharged the old batter and there was no change. I could turn the phone on and off or take the battery out and replace it..the screen would return to normal for approx 2-3 minutes. The white screen would unfortunately return.
Functionally, the telephone worked, just could not see who was calling or get any standard screen information.
I have gently hit it against my hand like a pack of cigarettes and the inside screen has returned to normal. The smaller outside face screen comes and goes. If this continues, I will take it to an authorized dealer

So I just read all of the solutions to this thread on how to fix the problem.
What do I do if my Razr has a white main screen and a blue front screen?
What might be the problem then? It would be nice to know how to fix my problem because then I wouldn't have to worry about borrowing my girlfriend's money to buy a whole new phone.

I would need some more information about the screen. First off, are both screens white or just the inside one. Have you replaced the battery?

Ok, I dropped my phone and the screen turned black but everything worked. I tried hitting the phone in my hand and that didn't work. So, I dropped the phone about 5 ft in the air on to something a little soft (scarf), and the screen magically turned back on. I think that you have to hit it hard enough so that the phone turns off and then turns on again.

i had the same problem, nothing but white screen on the inside and black on the outside. i read all these posts and i was very skeptical that tapping phone against your hand would work. so i turned the phone off and tried it out by tapping the top corners against my hand, i didnt even tap it that hard, and when i turned it on it worked like normal again. If you are skeptical of this at least try it because it worked for me. now i can finally retrieve some information i have saved on it so i can get rid of this peice of s***

get a new one, the ******* ****

Mine kept turning white for a while. I started out closing and opening it several times. Then it wouldn't fix it anymore, so I took it to the store and they updated it, which worked until now. So I threw it against the wall, and it works perfectly. Sadly, there is now a dent in the wall...

This happened to me all the time when I was training with monks in Tibet =P just toss it out and get a new phone =D
