DEAD W600! Complete noob, any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Hey, I have a sony ericsson w600i which I stopped using last year because I got the WSOD and I figured I'd buy a new phone instead - the w580. Turns out the w580 is a piece of crap, the clear button doesn't work anymore and the connector doesn't work too well either (headphones doesn't connect and seldomly charges), so I figured I'd try to fix the w600 with SEtool2.
After plugging in my w600 and clicking on the "read flash" button, my phone essentially went from bad to worse. :( It won't even turn on now, wtf!
Although my PC is still able to detect the phone itself through the usb connection, I get nothing on the phone's screen...not even the usual white screen.
Here's the log:
Welcome to SEtool2 ( LITE edition ) v 1.11

Since I'm a complete noob, could someone please provide simple instructions on how to get my phone to work again so that myself and other beginners can follow should they have a similar issue and which files I should download? Thanks in advance! :)
so I tried the unlock/repair button and this was what I got:
