Well its happened... after 1 and a 1/2 years of keeping my m3100 safe and sound I dropped it. Fortunately the cosmetic condition is still good. Unfortunately its started to give me a 'white screen of death'. Has anyone else encountered this?

What happens... I turn on the phone and go about using it normally and then after about 10 mins the screen slowly turns white. If I press the power button on and off a couple of times it clears and I can see again. The OS / phone functionality is fine and keeps running. Along with the white screen the buttons on the front freeze at the same time.

Its all leading me to think that something in the screen part of the Hermes has come loose or been damaged?

Help anyone?
