Hey all,
My n95 8gb's screen recently started misbehaving, colours were inverted and became like a negative so I had it replaced. However the screen now just randomly goes white for no reason what so ever, and I am at a loss as to what to do to it. What can I do to repair it, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
might be a software problem.....
Probably your phone needs a hard reset . Be aware to make a backup , to keep your personal data :

I did the hard reset, and this has made things worse, now I cant even see the nokia screen on startup!
Any further suggestions?
It sounds like the video cable is not seated properly, if the cable is re-seated and you still have an issue then look to the display and after that logic board.

Definitely a software issue, after I reflashed the phone using the PC suite the screen works. What could be causing this?

I assumed you may have had a loose cable as your display had been replaced. If flashing the phone has fixed it and you do not have any more issues then I would be very happy if the issues keep happening then first look to re-seat the video cable.

It hasn't anything. It worked for about 12 hours, thats it. Urgh.
If you are certain the display and its cable are ok then the next step is to re-flash the firmware and try a different sim in the slot in the sim is causing it. It is a long shot but I do not think you have any other choice.
Someone who knows more about phones is needed here.
I noticed in one of the N97 forum posts someone mentioned a faulty / full memory card as being responsible for a white screen. Perhaps you can get it working temporarily and back up anything of importance from memory then erase it.
I could not find the link again but perhaps someone else can give further assistance.
