hello guys. have any 1 come accross this so called "white screen of death"? i m desperately need u guys help..

it happened 4 weeks ago. it started with white screens. then it hangs / or turn to black screen. after restart the phone, it will be alright.. for 30 secs, n white screen thing came back again. n hang. n so on.

i brought back to the guy who sold me. n he brought back to his supplier. after 3 weeks, they said its jus a LCD prob.cost rm 100, which i paid.

the phone was working reli well, for 3 days. n now, its happening again! freaking piss. don feel like bringing back to the seller now..

since mine is a AP set (11 months old),

1. can i actually go to any SE shop to service/ fix for me?
2. does flashing the phone would totally fix it? or is ita hardware problem? or is this the so call 'white screen of death'?
3. how much would it cost to fix it?

any 1 with such experience at all? pls help..thx guys.
appreciate any advise that i could get from all of u...

Normally if they're good enough and you talk nicely, they MIGHT give you a temporary replacement phone. But that's highly unlikely they'll do so since yours is AP set.

I've had experiences like that in the pass with Siemens phone, got scammed by stupid phone seller they seems to sell me AP set but I didn't know (IMEI number not match with the sticker blah blah), bring it to the authorized service centre they even give me replacement phone, very nice. But that's just me being lucky and the company still very new.

Nowadays I think SE and Nokia won't do that cause they're the best sellers so they can sombong you haha.

i send back to the seller.
he passing back to his supplier to fix for me.
