White screen of death (WSOD).. Any help?

[magwua]

Phone: XV6700

So i was making a bunch of phone calls and the low battery warning came on. I put my phone away and went home. I forgot to charge my phone but my g/f found it and wanted to play some games on it. When she did she saw the screen was all white and brought it to me. I was using BigJ's custom rom so I thought a flash to the stock rom would be in order before i took it into a VZW shop and perhaps that would fix my problem anyway.. it didnt.

So now i have a WSOD and i cant seem to get it into bootloader mode. Every time i try it just turns off the phone and when it comes back on it is still WSOD. The thing is if you look at the screen at a extreme angle you can faintly make out what the screen is suppose to say. Since i reloaded the stock rom it is on the alignment screen once i turn it on.

Any ideas? I really dont want to have to go out and buy a new phone. Here are my ideas so far:

1. The phone is a 1.5 years old so maybe the battery is weak/dying and its time for a new one. I wish i knew someone with a 6700 close by so i could swap and see
2. Try really really hard to get through the original configuration (align screen, cut and paste) and get the phone to normal mode and then maybe then it will let me into bootloader mode.
3. Take the phone apart and see what i can find since i am pretty sure it is out of warrenty since i have had it for over a year.
4. Drop kick the phone out the window and pony up $300 for a new phone.

Edit: I have verizon
