White Screen on Qosmio G10 when starting

I have an old Qosmio G10 which I bought from a licensed dealer in Beijing about 2 years ago.
After about a year of use at home I discovered that the screen would sometimes turn white when the screen was moved or shaking.
Some days it would work perfectly fine others it wouldnt even start up without going white.
Towards the end the screen would only show a picture when the screen was put in a certain angle.
Now, the screen just goes white the second I turn it on.
Am I looking at a hardware problem here or have there been known to be software problems with some of the similar laptops?
Thanks,
T

Hi buddy,
sounds like the display cable is maybe loose. I would point on a hardware problem, but before sending your machine to an authorized service partner, go to an local computer technician and let him check the cables on the display.
If realigning of the cables does not help then your display is defective and needs to be replaced by an authorized service partner. I dont know how long your warranty is, but if you want anyways send your machine to an service partner, you should visit the following link to find the nearest one in your country:

Recently when clicking on Safari, it refused to open saying there were some components damaged. It was suggested I backup, remove OSX and reinstall. Now all I get is white screen and apple logo when starting. What to do?l

I Have an iMac desktop purchased in 2010 with OS X 6.1.6 and Snow Leapard. Recently after starting up, I was not able to open Safari. I checked for updates and all was well. I tried again and got a message saying Safari could not be opened because some components were damaged. After using Disk utilities to try and repair, it was suggested I uninstall OS X and reinstall from the disk. I did not at the time because I wanted to backup some info to a USB drive. But now when I startup all I get is the white screen and Apple logo and the loading symbol. What happened and How can Imfix it? I am not very tech savvy and don't know where to turn!

Hi nancy mfromamity harbor,
Welcome to the Support Communities! It sounds like reinstalling the Snow Leopard operating system is your next step. This should not affect the documents and data that you currently have on your iMac. I'll include the information to show you how below.

I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down. Please Help me!

Hello!
I have a MacBook Air. I have got a software update notification couple of days ago. I've clicked on it today, and it started installing updates.
But, I have got a notification telling that not all updates were installed successfully, then I have clicked on "Restart" from the notification box. Then my Mac restarted and the white screen with Apple logo and the update progress appeared (like what always happens during updates).
The problem that while the update progress reached around half the way, my Mac shutdown. I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down.
Please Help me!
MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2009)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You did not state whether you installed the update while on battery (not mains) power. You are warned not to apply certain updates without being connected to a charger & mains power.
Also remove any attached peripherals.
Reboot in Repair mode (command-R at start) and use Disk Tools-Disk Utility-Disk First AId to repair your disk, and as long as you're there repair permissions. Next quit Disk Tools and reinstall the OS. After completing that successfully reboot, log in and do a combo update.
You must have more than enough (not just enough) empty (free) disk space for the update.

When I turn on my IMAC I get the white screen and it won't start

I was working on my IMAC and it froze, so I restarted it a couple of times. It is now not restarting and I get a white screen and spinning circle. What can I do to get the computer to start up or do I need to take it in to the Apple store.

First, use Disk Utility to repair the drive and permissions. Second, reinstall OS X. This will require booting from an installer DVD or the Internet.
Because you have not provided any information about the exact model you have nor version of OS X installed, I cannot provide more information.

White Screen which goes of when connected to laptop!

hi all,
My BB curve 8520 is stuck with a white screen and it only comes back to life when its connected to the laptop.
The solution posted in another thread was to use the APPLICATION LOADER WIZARD.
but i cant seem to do so. As the drop down "Connection" menu, is just blank.
When i doconnect it to the laptop- everything comes back to view and the battery life seems normal. everything functions well.
When i remove it and start to use it even for 5 mins- this MUCH HATED white screen appears again.
Ive read that its some sort of shorting behind the screen, that it may be a battery problem, and also one that says its a software problem.
Someone please help! Thanks so much.

Hi again, Rockmantis
I don't think so. The inverter is the piece of hardware that controls what is shown on the display. If this was bad, then there would be nothing on the display, even with shining light directly on it. But the backlight is what makes the image visible by lighting it up. With this bad, it can sometimes work and then sometimes not, as it is currently for you.
Best,
Adam

HDV crashes/comes up as white screen with only sound when exported.

Hi I have been searching all throughout the forums for an answer to my problem but seem to find no clear solution. I edit everything into an HDV1080i60 timeline in Final Cut Pro 5 and then I try to export, whenever I export with Quicktime Conversion, Final Cut Pro crashes midway through. When I export with Quicktime Movie at 1080i60, the file comes out but when played is a blank white screen with sound only.
Every export setting has failed EXCEPT Uncompressed 8 bit NTSC. The video does come out good but the file sizes are enormous because it is uncompressed.
Is there any solution to this problem, I don't understand why its happening now, about one month ago everything was working great. I have downgraded to quicktime 7.3.1 yet still no results.
Any help would be much appreciated.

something between then and now has thrown a large spanner in the works
the fact that Quicktime Player is not seeing the HDV codec and yet FCP is able to work in that codec is a clear indication of the issue
starting with the least extreme and easiest solutions:
Use Disk Utility app to repair permissions on your system disc, see if that helped
Create a new user account and see if it all works better in that new account
Boot from your OS install discs and use Disk Utility app to repair your system disc, see if that helped
Uninstall and then reinstall Final Cut Studio (repair permissions again after the reinstall)
... probably best solution though is a complete clean reinstall of both OS and applications
hope it helps

IMac 27" 3.06ghz white screen for 40 seconds on start up before grey apple

when i start up my iMac 27" 3.06GHZ i get a white screen for 40 seconds before the grey apple appears and it boots up.
If anyone else is experiencing this or has a solution it would be great if you could reply.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum, i have recently bought a new imac 27" i7, i don't have any problems with white screens when starting up, the imac runs great, however when i try playing any games thats when the problems start. i installed X-plane it first worked without any problems but not in full resolution, i upgraded the resolution to the maximum imac resolution and from that moment every time i start the game the screen turns white you can hear the imac starting the game and even for a while sound appears, but then after 30 seconds the programs fails and you get a typical apple message.
i have also tried installing need for speed, here i didn't change anything to the graphics however the problem occurred straight away. white screen then the sound of the games menu and crash. did anyone else have this problem? is there a solution to this? i would like to apologize if this matter has been discussed in earlier forums. However i hope there is someone whom is able to give me a helping hand here. Whats wrong???? thanks ruben

White screen with vertical lines when opening.

My laptop has recently started showing a white screen with different colored vertical lines across it when opening the lid. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough to be concerning. If you close the lid and open again 95% of the time everything is good - with another try or two we can always get it back. There aren't any flickers or anything like that while using it. It sounds to me like a potential connection or short in the wiring. Am I on the right track? Thanks Donny

well i went to the apple store and went to the genius bar, they didn't tell me what caused my problem or what happened but they replaced my iphone! hopefully this doesn't happen again

White screen appeared twice now when Curve 8520 battery is low? (Please Help)

I'm really worried that my Blackberry is going to die ... I've only had it just over a year & I'm still paying for it, so for it to die on me would be truly upsetting!!
I've had the white screen twice now while my battery is low, I've seen a fix online about if you get the white screen & it won't come back on, but I don't know if that would be good for me to do, also can you please let me know before any fix if I will lose anything such as my BBM contacts for example!!!!!
Here's my device info as requested :

I've done a battery pull each time the phone has done this ... & it's just re-booted the phone fine, but the fact the white screen issue has happened to me twice now in the past few days is worrying, it's always when the battery is low .... I've noticed the battery seems to charge up quite quickly too ... not sure whether that means anything.
Please kindly help as soon as you possibly can ... I want to fix this early on the best way I can with hopefully not losing anything either ... such a gutter!! :-(
THANK YOU TO WHOEVER KINDLY TAKES THE TIME OUT TO HElP ME HERE!!!

We can do a few things just in case your phone situation gets worse.
I highly recommend that you do a full backup of the data using the desktop manager.
If you need to install it on your computer, get it from:
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_pc.jsp
After that, install blackberry protect if you haven't done so already. make sure your online backup ran ok.
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/protect/
I then recommend that you reload your device software. here are the steps.

White Screen on Curve 8520 when battery is fully or almost fully charged

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on Blackberry forums. My first Blackberry was a Curve 8310 and I recently obtained a Curve 8510. Beyond the trackball clogging/ replacement on the 8310, I had no issues at all. On the other hand, my 8520 continues to go "White Screen" even when the battery is charged. I notice it happens more when I am outside. I also experience very quick battery drains with no programs running in the background.
-2 different batteries tested with same problem.
-O/S installed and re-installed. Device wiped and re-installed again.
A battery pull will reboot but sometimes take a few attempts even when battery is 70% plus. I have read all the support forums and have not found a definitive answer or another Blackberry user with the same concern. Please help! Thanks in advance

Hello all again, Here is the answer to my own question regarding "White Screen on Blackberry Curve" It is the battery. I tried two different batteries; one was the original battery that came with the phone and the other came from my previous Blackberry Curve. Both batteries charged quickly and full but did not fully power the Curve which caused the White Screen when many applications were running, outside in the heat, or when the battery reached 70% or less. Bought an OEM Blackberry battery and the Curve 8520 has not had a problem since and the phone can go all day without a plug in or failure. White Screen = get a new battery. Hope this helps someone down the road.

Stuck in White Screen with pin-wheel on start-up

Hi everyone,
Have been having a few probs the last days, most likely since upgrading to 10.5
I restarted my G5 today because an application kept failing to launch. It's now not booting up, it is stuck on the white screen with the apple logo and pin wheel and doesn't go to the blue screen. After a few minutes the fans have built up to full speed but nothing else is happening.
I have noticed that following the start up sound (black screen) there is a flash of a folder icon (in Classic style format) followed by a question mark (both very temporary, split second) before going to the white/grey screen.
I'm not sure what to do from here and would appreciate any suggestions.
Many thanks.

Hi Samsara - thanks for the comforting comments!
I'm going to go ahead as you recommend - it's a two hour trip to my nearest Apple store (and even then it's in Yikesville so I'm expecting Vikings for tech specialists but we'll see!)
With regard to a new machine, I feel like the day is looming - I use the computer predominantly to run audio recording software which, with plugins, is very CPU intensive and I keep hearing about how the later machines are so much more capable. The other option maybe to increase my RAM but again, for the cost perhaps I should bite the bullet and upgrade the system totally. I don't know, maybe I'll have talked myself out of that option by morning!
Happily, in a stroke of rare genius, I had shifted key files to an external HD earlier this week and have been running Time Machine so there is a full back-up of everything sitting on my desk.
But I do appreciate you highlighting that a new HD is relatively inexpensive and the suggestion that I don't necessarily need to go breaking the piggy bank to get a new machine... it was certainly feeling that way earlier today!
Cheers - Matt

White screen and quiet whistle on start up

First post here so apologies if in any way I am not following a protocol. Recently received my new imac with 3.06 GHz and 4GB of ram. Lovely and very quick. However after a power cut a couple of nights ago it now starts up very slowly. It hangs on a white screen for a while and immediately after pressing the power on button I get a quiet hissing/whistle type noise. The 'normal' startup sound no longer comes on. Any one else getting this? Is there something simple I can do to fix it without having to re-install. Would be grateful for any advice. Thankyou.

Having spoken to Jigsaw 24 Tech support have solved the problem - just needed the PRAM resetting.
