My Nokia 770 was working the night before. The next day the boot process won't get pass the white screen. I almost send it to Nokia to fix it. But I thought I would flash it. Once I flashed it, everything is good again.

Not a WSOD in that case!

Lucky you. Mine froze completely, couldn't turn it off anymore with the buttons, so I took out the battery, and it broke the screen. Even after flashing, all I have is a white screen with some colored lines on it. *sigh* Now I get to find out what Nokia support is like around these parts...
In the past I have read all the threads partaining to the 770's screen on this forum, and now I have to chime in with all those who said the screen breaks too easily: it really does.

At least I know what did it, it was removing the battery to shut it down and immediately putting the battery back in (something I've had to do only twice before). But really, it was either that or letting the battery run down, because the OS had frozen completely.

Drewvt - did this happen to a 770 or N800?

Hu ok ! I think I got it while reading other posts. WSOD = White Screen Of Death, isn't it ? :-)
BTW, it's not funny at all. I also experienced that after trying to charge the battery and had to reflash (disable lifeguard didn't helped)... :-(

If you fixed it with a reflash it was not a WSOD, just a reboot loop.
The "death" with a WSOD is final, the device needs to be sent back to Nokia for repair/replacement if you ever want to see anything on your screen again.
HTH,
