Blank or White screen on new Motorola Krzr k1 cell phone

Just bought a new Motorola Krzr K1 and was experiencing blank screens or white screens. The battery is fully charged. Now the screen is totally blank and will not come back on. The keypad does light up. I have tried taking the battery out and putting it back in to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

    Got my Krzr in April. Already had to replace the battery since according to the Verizon store rep the battery was "swollen" but the warranty had expired. Since replacing the battery I keep getting a white screen and the phone locks up. Message keeps popping up saying I have a new picture message, but there really isn't one.

    I haven't been able to use it much but even so the new battery keeps dying within hours.

    I read on another website other people are having the same problem.

    I hate this phone, thinking I'll just go back to my old phone.

    I've had the same problem with two of my motorola phones. I've had these phones for about two years and the screens went out months apart. It really sucks.

    I turn my phone on and the keys light up but the screen is either black or white and wont go back to normal. Ive turned it off, took the battery out, took the sim card out and everything but the screen will still not show up. What do I do?

  • princeOFpl23 Jun 27, 2008

    My Krzr works completely fine except when i flip in open, the inside screen is completely white. Every few days the normal screen actually comes back up for like a half hour, but then all of a sudden it will go blank again for days. This phone seriously pisses me off.

    my screen goes blank or white. So I disassemble the phone and found that the connection that runs through the hinge had a spilt through one of the layers. This is not from damage, its a defect. but how could you prove it?

Found the solution to the white screen! it's the flip sensor.. what you have to do is open the phone hard and fast... make it so when you flip it open, the sensor knows when to turn the screen on and off.. this may take up to 5 or more times.. jus keep opening it hard and it will eventually work!!!

IT is the flip sensor...... buddy up top says to open your phone hard... etc... NO. However this MAY infact work... this will only make things worse itlr !! (you are only stressing out the little ribbon wire between the handset and the screen.)
!!!!!SOLUTION!!!!!
you can achieve the same outcome by turning your phone on and holding the screen half way open (it is touchy - watch your screen and you will c it come on, open it to soon and it will turn white again. What is happening than is the screen has made its connection with the handset... but be carfull opening and closing ... BE GENTLE!!!!!! lol. cheers.

BTW
to really fix this, you will need parts. (lol good luck finding them)OH and BTW... dont trust the scoundrles that warranty phones, they are payed to not help you as much as they can & thus come up with whatever they can to stump you to buy a new one. ;)

I JUST FIXED MINE!!! really kinda easy. simply take battery out, take out the 4 torx screws ( I used a sharp pointy tip knife ), pop out the back plate, unsnap the rest of the bottom. On the inside top corner you will see a really thin wire that runs to the top face plate. that is where the problem is. carefully blow any dust and debri away. good luck.

Sometimes having a screen saver could solve the problem , because screen saver is not just for fun . that could also save your screen in the future .

SOURCE: My Nokia N70 cell phone Screen is white blank

formating your phone may fix the problem

Here’s how to hard reset or format your Nokia N70 mobile phone:
1) Switch off your phone
2) Press and hold these 3 keys together:
-green dial key
-the star key(*)
-the number 3 key (Ugh, I wish I had three hands…!!)
3) Power on the phone
Warning: Do not release the keys until you see a formatting screen and even after the phone has started. Wait until the initial sound starts to play and the hand animation is displayed.

Before formating make sure that your battery is fully charged. Copy all your important contacts, messages, calender, etc in your memory card and your phone should be fully charged window.google_render_ad();

MOTOROLA KRZR K1 SCREEN GOT BLANK (WHITE OR BLACK)

I believe you have a problem with the hinge of the flip where your wire that connects to the display opens up your screen. If you keep opening the flip and closing it slowly does the screen turn on and off??? If it does then you have a problem with the hinge like I said. If not then it could be just a software glitch where you need to reinstall the operating system.

Blank or White screen on new Motorola Krzr k1 cell phone

If the phone still works, check to see if the left side of the hinge (when the phone is open and facing you) is loose. If you can wiggle the top 1/2 of the phone, the hinge is damaged, therefore damaging the flex cable that runs through it. If that is the case, replace the hinge assembly and the flex and you're good.

The K1 is no joke to take apart. Flex replacement requires full disassembly. I would recommend checking out www.wirelessunlimitedinc.com, or www.myspace.com/wirelessunlimited to have it done professionally, less than Motorola will charge you.

Or give it a shot if you want, you need a T5 Torx and lots of patience and care.
