Abbreviated WSoD, the White Screen of Death or simply "White Death" refers to an error or issue with an operating system that causes the computer or device to stop working and display only a white screen.
The
White Screen of Death most often refers to an Apple iPod or iPhone that
has locked up due to the device being severely dropped, a hardware
component failing, or an attempted operating system or application
upgrade that fails to successfully update. iPod, iPad or iPhone users
with a WSoD will see either a completely blank white screen or a frozen
display that shows only the Apple logo.
How to Fix the White Screen of Death
As
with the more widely known blue screen of death (BSoD) that affects
computers running Windows, the white screen of death generally requires a
reboot in order to operate properly again. If restarting the device
fails to correct the issue, the White Screen of Death might be resolved
by trying one or more of the following: hard rebooting the device,
resetting the factory settings, reconnecting the LCD cables to the
screen display, or sending the device in for repair if none of the
previous options works.
