i have a motorola v505 and when i boot up the screen just stays white. i can hear all the chimes and dings when i hit buttons, but no display, just a bright white screen. on the back of the phone, inside the batter holder, that little white sticker DOES have a little red on it - which i believe indicates some water or moisture? i am NOT sure though if that is what is causing the bright white screen with no display. it may be related to the problem or not, but i dont believe so. i tried the bootloader function, but cant get to the bootloader screen. the screen still stays white. motorola wanted $75.00 to fix the phone and to me thats just not worth it. im very mechanical inclined, and was wondering if i took the phone apart myself, what things i should look for that might be the problem. loose connection? unattached connection? what? any idea, please advise!

Look at the ribbon connector. If you pm me an email, i'll send a .pdf service center manual to you.
