Monitor is all white help

Hi my Hp pavilion dv4 laptop screen has gone all white. I cannot get it to show anything but the laptop is loading. I can see and hear it do so. However right before it went completely blank my screen was jumping all over the place. Then after a few minutes it would stop jumping and I had no problem. I know a good bit about the inner working of a desk top but I have never been in a. Laptop before. I have a feeling it is the video card but not sure. I am disabled and I would like to know would I be better off getting a new one or is it ok just to get this fixed andwill it be a lot. Thanks meme joannie plus how do I find the right card since I cant get into the device manager

From other cases I believe it's the screen itself.
Can you connect an external monitor?
If you see the desktop there, then it's your laptop screen who's faulty.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Display shows white screen
    Turn iPod touch off and turn it on again.
    If the iPod will not turn off, try to reset it. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPod touch until it is fully charged.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the iPod. See this article for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    If still no luck, you'll have get it serviced.

    My iMac 24" inte will not boot. Monitor lights up with squiggly little lines, but that's all. Help??

    Can you run Apple Hardware Test.  In you case it is not so much to see what it finds but to see whether you can boot it at all.
    Or try a safe boot.
    It may be time to take to apple for repair.

  • Need help getting all white background for jewelry pics and resizing help for my website

    Can someone please help me?  I'm completely new to photoshop and I have elements 12 and I need to make the background all white for my jewelry photos.  I have googled instructions but a lot of my jewelry has chain in it so it's hard to select, erase etc.  I have no idea what I'm doing.  I also need to resize my photos to 400x400 but when I do they distort.  Someone told me I can collect the background color and then resize the canvas but again I'm a complete newbie and none of this makes any sense to me.
    Thank you

    no worries.

    Hi everyone...I'm new to all this.  I've had my BB for 8 months.  I did not really do anything special to my phone except turn it on and hide it from my 14 month old.  When I retrieved it, the screen is all white.  I can not do anything with it.  I am able to receive calls on it and I hear that I receive messages on it but I can not see anything! I can not do anything either, not even turn it off....I'm desperate!  I've tried soft booting and even a hard boot, but agian nothing is working.  I hope somebody here has an idea what to do........Thanks for your help and support!

  • "Export audio to movie" produces an all-white video or other problematic issue.  Help.

    The latest Logic X update seems to have broken the "export audio to movie" function.  I need to re-import the movie file every time I want to export audio to movie or it results in an all-white video or a video that hangs up on a single frame.  Does anyone know a good work-around or fix?  I'm generally using video that is compressed in H264.  I also need to deliver at that same codec.  Not having to convert the original movie to a new format and then convert the version with music back to H264 again would be ideal.

    Now Logic's gone racist, jeeze... what next?

  • Pages Document displays all white in preview

    I took an old flyer that I had on my iPad and brought it over to my MacBook Pro.  After I finished the modifications I tried to put it back on my iPad.  It kept hanging on the import so I decided to just save it as a PDF and manually place it on the iPad.  However, when I save as a PDF all that displays is a white page, if I try to print the preview screen is all white as well. 
    Any help would be appreciated, I need to get this flyer ready by Monday.
    Thanks

    There was one (maybe two) plain yellow object like this one. I build this one in a hurry with Gimp but in the doc it was a vectorial object.
    and if I remember well, after removing it (or them) the doc behaved well.
    If I may get the doc with is treated in this thread, I would try to identify it in the index.xml file.
    Maybe I would understand what's wrong with it.

    I am trying to use photomerge compose.  I open one standard jpeg image and one image that is my business logo in a png format.  When I select the png image, to extract the logo from it, it appears as all white and will not allow me to select the logo from it.  It has worked in the past but I downloaded the update today and photomerge will not work correctly.  Any ideas?

    hedger,
    How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

    My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
    I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
    I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
    When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
    I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
    The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
    My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iPad screen went all white when I was trying to close an app. I cant turn it off and iTune cant sync with it either.  Does anyone know what I should do to fix this.

    I have an iPad 2 that is about 2 years old and is in good shape. I was trying to swipe off an app when the screen went all white. I held down the power button to shut it down but it wont do any thing but go black. When I press the power button it come back all white with no icons and no passcode pad. Does anyone know how to fix this or what it is?
    Thanks

    TThanks for the suggestion but it turns out that you have to hold down the Home button, the Power button AND the Volume UP button at the same time for several seconds until,the Apple appears To fix the white screen of death. Found that on another help site. It works and boy an I glad. Pass it on.

  • Create iPod or iPhone version generates all white, audio only video

    I have been trying to find any explanation for this by searching here and on Google, with little success.
    I am trying to export my movies to my ipod with no success.
    I will explain what I do:
    I pick a movie from the iTunes Library (it plays just fine), then I go to Advance and click "Create iPod or iPhone Version". iTunes goes through the Conversion process, and after a few minutes (depending on the size of the original movie), I get the converted version, right next to the original one.
    This version will be the same length, audio is just fine, but the video is all white (at this point, the video would transfer to my iPod Touch, were I would get the same all white video).
    This happens with MP4 files. I followed the steps on Apple Support on how to verify the conversion of files (they provide a MOV file), and that worked fine. I do not have more MOV files to test.
    Other troubleshooting steps included:
    - Trying with different MP4 files as source
    - Trying on different computers (two WinXP PCs with the latest iTunes installed)
    - Removing and reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime
    Any feedback is highly appreciated. However, I do not wish to use a 3rd party tool to do this (so recommending Handbrake or others is not that much helpful).
    Thank you!

    I can confirm that converting from MOV works, whilst MP4 does not. Unfortunately, unless you use a 3rd party tool to convert from whatever format they're currently in to an MOV file, there's not much you can do until Apple fixes this problem! :C
