    Yea, my sidekick3 also has this problem. Actually, I just got this phone for Christmas and it happened so we sent it back. Then when we got another one, the same thing happened again! I was thinking that maybe the screen is very fragile, maybe theres a cord inside it that git twisted up or something, and I dont know how to fix it. I really like this phone but if it happens again my parents said that we are getting our money back and I will not be able to have this phone anymore. :-(

Follow this procedure and it should fix the issue. If not then a new lcd definetly will

if you don't have a t6 torx driver, a small flathead will do the trick.

The screen on my T-mobile Sidekick 3 went white.

You need to reseat the LCD cable. More than likely it has come loose in the back of the LCD

Screen not working

Lisa-

I am sorry to hear that the new sidekick 3 is not working for your son.

Is the screen white, blank, or just hard to see?

If white, then the flex cable needs to be reseated.

If dark blank, then reseat the lcd assy itself and see if it works

If hard to see the screen, then the backlight is dead. A new screen is needed for that.

My sidekick 3 has sonething wrong with it.

So if the sidekick has suffered a drop or some other type of trauma, the cable for the lcd screen can come loose causing a white screen. Try the following guide to repair a white screen:

Sidekick 3 white screen

Did you by chance drop the phone recently?

A loose cable for the lcd can cause this or a bad lcd.

You need to disassemble it to take a look.

You will need a set of Torx screwdrivers to get it open.

My sidekick3 screen is blank

If your sidekick ID or Sidekick 3 screen is a blank white, then the lcd flex cable has come loose. It is a little difficult to repair but any one can do it. The worst that will happen if you try to repair yourself is that it will not work and you buy a replacement screen from ebay for 45 dollars.

Here are the detailed instructions. Just reinstall your lcd instead of putting a new one on.
