According to one of the Microsoft sites, it says the flash unit is bad and needs to be replaced. I would take it down to a repair shop and see if that's the case.

Thanks, but i'm in Switzerland; a repair shop is going to cost me an arm and a leg, i'm going to try and replace the part myself

but first i'm waiting for the battery to fully discharge, taking a while since the phone shuts down once the battery get too low, but the light stays on, read someplace that this can also fix the problem.
