My phone screen is dead (well, almost...)

After almost a year after I bought my HTC TyTN from eBay, I encountered a problem with the device. And worst thing about that is it is gone when I need it the most.

The problem is known as White Screen Of Death (WSOD). Many AT&T 8525 devices had this problem. Most of them had to send their device for replacement to AT&T. But, that is not an option for me because 1) I live in India, 2) Warranty is probably expired and 3) I have unlocked this phone so, warranty is void :D

Anyway, normally I would open it and try some "hardware cleanup" but, I don't have my screwdriver kit with me. I may have to arrange a "cheap" cell phone as temporary solution. But, I will open that piece of hardware and try to make it work. Whatever happens, I will post it here...
