To solve the equation:

\[
4x^2 - 2\imaginaryI = 0
\]

1. **Isolate** the term involving \(x^2\):
   \[
   4x^2 = 2\imaginaryI
   \]

2. **Divide** both sides by 4:
   \[
   x^2 = \frac{2\imaginaryI}{4} = \frac{\imaginaryI}{2}
   \]

3. **Take the square root** of both sides. Remember, taking the square root of a complex number involves finding both the magnitude and angle in polar form:
   \[
   x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{\imaginaryI}{2}}
   \]

Now, to simplify the square root of a complex number:
- Express \(\frac{\imaginaryI}{2}\) in polar form:
  \[
  \frac{\imaginaryI}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \text{cis}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)
  \]

Taking the square root of this:
\[
x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \text{cis}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
\]

This simplifies to:
\[
x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \text{cis}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
\]

This can also be expressed in rectangular form as:
\[
x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left(1 + \imaginaryI\right)
\]

Thus, the solutions are:
\[
x = \pm \frac{1 + \imaginaryI}{\sqrt{2}}
\]
