[QUOTE="lexbubbles, post: 1295132, member: 208689"] Apologies - there have probably already been hundreds of threads about this but nothing I have tried so far has worked. So, I received a text on my iPhone 3g, read it, put the phone back down on the table in its protective cover. Only, when I received another text message and went to read it I noticed the screen was entirely white. The phone had not been dropped. Odd. The only function the sleep button served was to turn the screen off (as when you 'lock' the phone). A second click of it brought the white screen back. A soft reset with the sleep and home buttons did nothing at all. So, I plugged it into iTunes. It recognised it (great!) so I did a full restore. The only effect this had was to turn the screen completely black instead of white. Now, the sleep/home function is still doing nothing and iTunes will no longer recognise the phone. Anybody have any ideas?! As mentioned, the phone wasn't dropped, it just died in between text messages so I'm guessing probably not hardware? [/QUOTE]
