I think the problem is the 4GB chip you have put in. take the out switch off the mobile and restart again your mobile. Im sure it will work after.
it have just a view Mobile Devices who are able to work with a 4GB Chip - the result are that nothing will work anymore. so just put max. a 2 GB and im sure you dont will have any problem with.
 
When your Mobile will just show you a white screen best thing is to try to do a copy of your data at your PC or Laptop and to a general Software Update by Sony Ericssson Website.
There you can download the Software Update directly is very very easy to handle.
 
 
here is the link for the update software where you can download for free.

I wish that were the case.  Removing the 4GB card doesn't have any effect on being able to restart the phone.

Yes, I take the battery out.  My guess is that there is a problem with the ATT firmware.  It wouldn't be the only bug in their version...............

I am having the same problem for the first time. I do not have a 4GB memory card and have never downloaded any theme or software. Going to call AT&T tomorrow morning and will keep you guys posted.

I agree. This happened to me last night. I turned my phone off for the night and in the morning, it wouldn't turn back on. I tried a different battery, but to no avail. It seems to be the phone, not the battery. I also have a 1gb chip in, so that takes the 4gb theory out of play. No comprende...

OMG! Same here! I turned it off last night, but could not turn it on any more! The red lights are flashing, but the phone doesn't respond at all!
 
I just used the plain handset and never downloaded anything or use any fancy functions. The problem happened after I got it two months back...
 
I was a fan for Sony Erricson, but hadn't expected a problem like this, which seems not a rare case.
 
Don't know what to do...

I called AT&T on Friday morning and they said that they've never heard of the problem. I told them that this is apparently a very common problem with this phone. The customer service rep was polite and nice. I will be getting a replacement in the mail in 5 days (if i want it in 2 days, I have to pay $12) and I would have to ship back the current unit to them.

If the same problem happens with the second phone, they would send me a different phone in the same price range without charge. i asked about getting a more expensive phone (like the iPhone) and have the amount deducted from it, he said that that can't be done.

I'm quite disapponted with son ericsson right about now, and a little bit with AT&T. It's my first sony ericsson ever.

I had the same problem. In fact, I went to their Device Service Center, 30 miles from my home. They couldn't do anything about it.
They were also supposed to ship me a replacement,but till now I haven't received an update.
If so many people are having problems, shouldn't they call back the units themselves? All my phonebook is lost, simply coz I never expected anything like this to happen!!

     Go to a local coporate AT&T store and ask them to change out your simcard for you. http://www.wireless.att.com/find-a-store
