For what it’s worth, took a stab at my daughter’ 4gb Fuze this morning. Screen was displaying the WSOD through all suggestions. The device did install correctly on my Windows 7 machine, and was able to update the firmware, but to no avail on the screen. Could see file structure on Windows Explorer.
What did bring it back to life was to format the device in Windows Explorer. Of course this deleted all the files on the Fuze but wasn’t concerned about that. Started device and I again had screen.
Appears to be hang up issues if device is not disconnected correctly from the PC (can’t imagine that happening with 14 year old daughters ever can you?)
