When i search on web for this "WSOD" (White Screen of Death) problem. it pointed out to me that it's quite a known problem and number of people have had this. web search says its a problem of firmware (What is firmware ?) in Sony Ericsson W550i. Well firmware flash can resolve this problem. I try to update my w550i from Sony ericsson's website to upgrade the firmware. I tried two three but it stopped at 90% updation. .

Then i took my W550i to Sony ericsson service center which is near to my home. After checking the warranty card they told me that your 1 year warranty is over. So i ask them "how mutch it cost to resolve the problem ? The person said Rs. 300 ( around * 7). I said ok it fine, so when should i come to take my phone, he told me to come at evening. .

Important Notices : Avoid use of multiple things at onetime in your mobile (Exp: music+game+internet). Dont pull the USB connectivity from the PC without stopping the device. It is Better to transfer & receive your data via useing Bluetooth connectivity. My research show that this "WSOD White Screen of Death" problem mainly comes with latest software. The older vol: R4CA004 works just fine. .
