I currently work for Verizon Wireless and I've been with the company for 4 years. Throughout these past 4 years, I have never seen a phone malfunction as much as the chocolate. People are constantly in the store complaining about it, saying it's not working properly. The white screen is a very common thing with the chocolate. It is not caused by anything you did, it's just a faulty phone, and unfortunately there's nothing you can do to fix the problem. Since your phone is under a year old, it is still covered under warranty and can be replaced through a local Verizon Wireless Retail Store, or if you call customer service, they will ship you out a new one (free of charge, of course) 1-800-922-0204. Hope this helps!

What causing the white screen from chocolate phone are two things I come across with them are the flex cable is bad or the LCD has water damage. But most likely I think its the flex cable.

So my phone did the same thing... with the white scree... while I was in the middle of texting. I hadn't even dropped the phone. I have the white chocolate that I got in Nov. of '06. I know the warranty is up, but I have the extra monthly insurance... Will I still be able to get a new phone?
