    Welcome to windrivers avcaf. Does the display show the boot screen? How about booting to safe mode or a dos boot disk? If none of the above work, it is likely a hardware issue.

    Looks as if the ribbon has become detached betwwen the base and the LCD

    Usual outcome is the White screen and yes you will get no boot screen either.

    Return for repair unless you fancy pulling it apart yourself.
