    Sorry I can't help but funnily enough mine has begun to do the same! It started a couple of days ago, when I slide it up the LCD is just white, when I slide it down the normal display appears. For weeks now it has been freezing on displays for a few seconds and recently there are sometimes small lines going through the display like a TV does sometimes.

    When I open a message it takes 5+ seconds to show the message. Is this a problem with the phone itself or just the screen?

    Mine is unbranded and on latest N80 IE FW.

    Also found this:

    Update on the warranty issue for ribbon repair, I have talked to Nokia Careline representative and Nokia is actually giving a 60 days warranty for the part change. And for those who wants to get their N80 repaired for white screen issue and is out of warranty, please ask for repair warranty. If the repair centre refuse to issue it, please contact Nokia Careline at the repair center and they will settle the issue
    Might be worth trying to get a free repair done

    See mine has white screen but as I said recently it has been running really slow too. A factory restore might do the trick as it should still have the latest FW installed.

    Ribbon arrived thism orning, you have to practically strip the entire phone to fit it but worked a charm. The original ribbon had cracked so a connection was dead.
