    My phone either blinks a white blank screen or stays frozen on a blank white screen. It does not turn off unless I take the battery out. After waiting a few seconds to let it reset, I inserted the batttery into the phone and the same occurs. What should I do?

    my 12-month warranty was up 36 days ago and today it gave me the WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH! Verizon store people said it would replace it for $50 bc my warranty was up. I didn't drop or wet it. These phones should last 2 years, shouldn't they? Why are so many people having problems with their chocolate phones? And has anyone come up with some sort of solution aside from letting Verizon screw us over and over? [email protected]

  • princess2751 Oct 23, 2008

    I just got the blinking screen of death..... I am desperate just like all of you guys... I lost all my contacts... and i can't access my info at all.... Did anybody find a solution yet.. please share if so.... [email protected]

If it starts up white, just flick the screen until it comes back. weird i know, but i think it's a faulty connection or something from LG...

Here's the thing, LG has made a big flaw in the design of this phone. These are the 2 most common problems 1. the display (which all of you already know). 2. The charging port.

Unfortunately there is no home remedy for these problems so you would have to take it back to where you bought it and hopefully get a replacement. If you can get another model (pay dif. in price) then do so. If you are infactuated with the design , then get the Chocolate II (vx-8550). But I recommend Samsung phones. I was a LG die hard fan until....

It is the ribbon cable
Common flaw with the slider mechanism rubbing the cable too much.
This will fix prettymuch all display problems not involving software problems.

I'm on my fourth, (yes, FOURTH) phone.  Verizon is actually very good about just replacing the phone for free, since this problem is obviously a manufacturer defect. All I have to do is send back the body.  No more though.  My only suggestion is to use an older phone until you can upgrade.  VX8500, while a nice phone to look at, is completely flawed and unreliable.

Phone goes blank

sir is it blinks with white screen only or blinks with white screen then shut down?
-if the phone can receive/send text and mms messages while the incoming and outgoing calls become shut down,i think you need to replace the battery because it is weak.use only original battery.
-and if it is blink with white screen only try to reset all settings or reformat your phone,if not work hardware problem go to repair shop.

It turns on but a blank white screen only shows

i had the same issue when my phone got slightly wet. try taking everything apart (sim card, battery, back). let them dry out for a little bit then after like a day or two put the phone back together. turn it on it will be a white screen for a little bit but give it like 2 or 3 mins and if should come back. I did this for my phone cuz i really needed the pictures off it and it worked! hopefully if will work for you too. GOOD LUCK!

Lg vx 8300

My screen goes blank from time to time and when I turn it off and turn it back on again, it seems to re-boot itself and is fine. However, I have never had this problem with any other phone and fear my phone may be dying. It is only 1 year old and worked fine for the first 8 months I had it. But the blank screen seems to happen more frequently lately. I don't think I will buy and LG again.

Phone blinks white and wont respond.

sometimes when you turn the phone off, take out the battery, put the battery back in, then turn the phone back on, it fixes the problem... sometimes it doesn't though

Flashing blank screen

If your phone is less then a year old bring it to a store that is owned by Verizon. You could also call 1-800-256-4646, then ask for the FRU (Factory Replacement Unit) department. They will get you a replacement phone.
