I bought unlocked 8700 on ebay (brand new) unfortunately when I turn the phone on it just welcomes me with a white, bright screen, no text, no icons no anything. No matter if T-Mo sim is in or out.
Can I correct this myself? Thank you for any help.
Sounds like the phone OS is shot. You can go and check the very first post in to 8700 forum for the latest phone OS for your device and download that and then follow the instructions on how to upgrade your phone.
