White Screen after flashing !!

swish · #1 (**permalink**) 10-19-2008, 02:10 AM

I recently spilled a little coffee on my phone. i dried it out, and funnily enough, i could hear all the sounds of the apps and if someone calls. I JUST CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!!

I tried re-flashing twice and after reset i get the screen that asks you to press Y to return to factory default. i hit yes, and then it says press space to boot. Once i hit space, the screen goes completely dark and i hear nothing (it's not in bootloader mode either)... I've also tried turning it off, taking battery out, etc and when i turn it back on, all i get is a white screen.

HELP!! I LOVE MY APACHE AND HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT 6 MONTHS YET!!!

take battery out. put on on the heat register for a day. or in the freezer overnight. both will dry it out.

yeah, the phone. sorry bout not being clear.

if it still doesnt work then it could be fried. i was hoping that there was just a short in there somewhere. if u have a wrist watch that gets water in it, ur supposed to put it in the freezer or on a heat register. depending on tje climate where u live, either put it in the sun for a day, on the heat register, or in the freezer. you may have not fried the usb,memory, or graphics chip, so some stuff could work. but u may have fried something 'higher up on the food chain'. give it a day or two to dry.
did u get insurance?

i put it out on the patio this morning in the sun. nope, i bought it on ebay and didn't get insurance. (oh, wait. i think i bought square trade)

Nah. Most of the time it's because you have too much junk in your rom. YOU CAN NOT PUT SO MANY APPS IN YOUR BUILD! Haha. Try taking some out and reflashing.

did the problem begin after coffee was spilled on it or a custom rom flash? i assumed u flashed the factory rom it. if it is a custom rom flash the factory rom on it to test it.
