White screen with power

The Acer Chromebook may boot to a white screen with the Chrome logo due to a recent update. At this state, the Chromebook downloads and installs the update, and then boots normally within 30-40 minutes.
If there is no updating process going on and the Chromebook boots to a white screen, the following steps should help you resolve the issue. Keep a 4 GB USB flash drive and a computer connected to the internet ready.

• Press and hold the Esc and Refresh (F3) Keys. Simultaneously press the power button. The Chromebook boots to the Developer mode.
• Note down the model number displayed at the bottom of the screen.
• Insert the USB Recovery Flash Drive into your Chromebook.
• Wait for about 10 minutes while the system recovers from the USB flash drive.
• Disconnect the USB flash driver once the recovery is complete. The Chromebook restarts automatically.
• Follow the prompts on the Welcome screen.

This is a complicated fault, and needs an expert repair, not something you could do yourself. Could be a screen voltage inverter, could be screen ram or power supply.

Have you tried doing a restore with the backup disks, They usually ask one to create these disks when you get your computer. It is possible the wire that run through the hinge assembly have chafed and shoorted if the computer is a laptop. But you did say PC. A white screen can also mean that you may have to re-install the monitor software. There always the possibilty that your monitoris just in need of replacing. P.S.If you bought it with a visa card, visa automatically doubles manufacturers warraty!!! They also have an extended warranty for around $70.00. It is a 4 year warranty!!! Good luck, hope I helped. Pleasel let me know if this solves your problemm and post that it was solved on the fixya site.

Try holding Command, OPTION, P and R all at the same time just after you press the power button. This will clear the pram and nvram (internal settings) and try if it boots up after that.

If not, let me know.

Will the monitor go into it's own config screen ? If not, it could be defective. You said it displayed a white screen so it is not likely that the brightness control is turned way down.

Check that the monitor is connected correctly to the system. Try another monitor that is known to be good. Does the monitor work on another system, say a laptop or another desktop?

Windows will boot up without a monitor and if you are running any servers on it, you can try to connect over your LAN. If the computer takes it's IP address from a local router, you can check the router status screens to see if the address is in use. That would prove Windows is running and that the monitor could be the problem.

Used monitors are not expensive these days so they are easy to replace. You should have multiple monitors anyway. This is the 21st century, not the twentieth when screen size revealed your pay grade in the organization.

This is called a boot loop.Try booting from the Mac OS X install disc. make sure you are plugin into the wall with the power adapter. insert the disc. press the power button while holding down the "C" on the keyboard
If it boots up normally you will have to reinstall the operating system
If it doesn't, you have a hardware issue. It could be the power adapter itself or power on the logic board.

you have to do a master reboot onyour phone.the same thing happened to me. before u power up the phone hold the 2 white line buttons and then power the phone on without letting the buttons go.

your harddisk is not detected.
open your cpu case.
then reattch the power code and datacode to hard disk.

hi, if ur screen turns white, it could be any problem starting from ur LCD to motherboard or as u said a virus. to assist u in a right way i need to know what exactly is happening between that short duration between pressing the button and white screen. most importantly is anything else comming up on the screen before the white screen.
cheers

try this test: put your PC into hibernate mode after the event of ..."After about an hour in this state, the screen will, after a further power on and off, resume normal operation. Functions perfectly...". Then force a hibernate state (START-SHUT DOWN-hold shift while hover STANDBY). Now, while in hibernate state, force a "resume Windows" state (space-bar on my PC). Any change on display to note? Hoping you answer yes, it is better now. If so, then continue with hibernate mode.
