Title: White Screen on laptop
Post by: Pyro4816 on April 06, 2007, 08:42:32 PM

Well, i was given a computer by an uncle, a rather nice Sony Vaio, i was given this laptop well...because the screen is broken. I honestly don't think it is really broken, but something is wrong. When you turn on the laptop, you get then normal blinking and flickering of the screen as if it were turning on. Only problem is that after that the screen goes white and stays white. I plugged it up to an external monitor and it works just fine. I can pull any information you may need off of it if necessary.

I remember having this problem with one of my older PowerBooks...
If i pinched the edge of the screen in just the right place it would work.
It's probably a loose connection somewhere. Can you take it anywhere to have it serviced?
Good luck!
