Hi guys and girls,
If anyone could give me a hand or point me in the right direction that would be great.
I was mucking around with my w200i today, i added a few games and a couple of .mp3 files to the memory card in my phone.
I went to "safely remove my usb device" and it said it couldnt because its in use...i closed all the folders and nothing was open that should have been "interacting" with my phone so i just pulled the USB cable from my phone (have done this many times with no problem)....
Anyway - i then went to switch my phone back on.
Pushed the power on button, the screen lit up as normal, after about 2 secs it vibrates for half a second then shows me the "sony ericsson logo"
The logo stays on sceen for about 1 sec then vanishes to a lit up blueish screen for 2 secs then unlit screeen for 4-5secs then a white lit screen for 2 secs then unlit screen for 4-5secs then blueish screen for 2 sec then back to unlit for 4-5secs then back to white lit screen and just repeats this over and over.

So i start phone up - get sony logo - blue screen - unlit screen - white screen - unlit screen - blue screen - unlit screen - white screen......etc etc - it only shows teh logo once.

Please does anyone know whats happening or what i can do to fix this.

I have tried removing the memory card and that dosnt change anything, i cannot access the phone via usb anymore either - it just does the same thing as when i try turn the phone on normally.

Please help !

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I just got into stitches while I was reading about the COLOURFUL SCREENS U'RE SEEING! Sorry, I'm laughing while u're in a serious trouble. I really dunno the solution, but I guess ur startup software has been corrupted. The way it used to happen with Vista when it was a fresh release. I dunno, I just think so.

gberlo one of my freinds had suffered !
The white flashing screen is known as "WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH"

Normally with WSoD, you would be better off allowing the phone to continue it's blinking. If it isn't fixed in 30 mins, then it will need some other treatment but this flashing screen is the phone trying to fix itself . If that doesn't work, remove and reinsert the battery, plug into the charger for an hour (don't power the phone on, just plug in) and repeat the above. If all else fails, flash the phone without finalization ticked. It should then turn on with the message "Contact Service Centre or Network Operator". This is a good sign. Finalize the phone (you can just tick the finalize option for this) .You can Flash your fone using SE Update Service.

You can even try various SE forum because this may not work on a w200i , it is for w810i.
But its worth a try .If nothing works better get it to the Service Center.
Good Luck ! Dude
