White Screen Of Death, even when there is no battery :(
 
My battery for my 9000 died, and usually I just plugged it in for a day and it recharges back - this time, it does it's usual red light and black screen for a while, then it shows the recharging white screen for 3 seconds, then the loading white screen for another 3, followed by just a pure white screen (until I unplug the phone). If I don't unplug it, the white screen would continue even AFTER I removed the battery.

I've tried pulling the battery out and in (I have no SD card), what should I do?

Perform a wipe/reinstall of the operating system. Do a quick search of the site for instructions.

If you let the battery run down past 20% on a regular basis, you have probably damaged it. Might try a new, OEM (not a cheap knock off) battery and see if that fixes it. Had a similar problem with my 9000 a couple years ago and it was the battery.

Have you dropped the device or gotten it wet? What did you do just before this occurred?
