Hi

Do you mean that the complete screen is just White ?

When did you buy this iPhone and since when are you facing this issue ?

Whom did you buy it from ?

Has this phone ever been Jailbroken or Unlocked ?

Which service provider do you use this iPhone with ?

Did you ever take a backup of the iPhone on your iTunes ?

Doubt it is over 365 days old but not sure

 

No physical shock that I can recall, especially between the time I last used it and when iy stopped working last night.

Hi,

Based on the symptoms, most likely the lcd display has failed .. or the main board has issues (rare)

Take your iPhone to any Apple store near you and if its in warranty you will get a free repair / replacement.

If not in warranty, but a replacement lcd display from Ebay and replace it yourself (goto youtube to watch videos for instructions).

Feel free to ask any question or concern you may have. I will be glad to help you.
