This all started after i squeezed the top portion of the phone a bit too hard. I didn't think it was so serious since the phone booted up fine and worked for fine for that day and then maybe in the evening or the next day it was going through kernel panics and reboots after a little while while using it.. (like making a call).
Then it got worse by freezing in the OS if not booting itself up again. I would see a white full blank white screen and then later green vertical lines on the right of the whole screen.
But IF you say it is the LCD, how is it that it CAN boot up (maybe after some check disks attempts and an extra reboot) and the LCD works well. I even managed to retrieve my addresses book from the file system and back up my recordings and some music. HOWEVER then after a short few minutes it begins to lose connection to the PC and shows that familiar white screen.
I am prompted to do a restore in itunes, and i did attempt to do a restore to its current 3.1.3 iOS in both recovery mode and DFU but itunes tells me error 21. And the itunes diagnoses says it cant detect an device.

That about covers the behavior of this phone.. any one know what could be wrong??

Can a bad battery cause all these possibly? I have one i ordered to put into it prior to all this.
