Has anyone seen something like this before?
I had white screens on my old laptop (DELL Latitude E6400) whenever the LVDS cable slipped out of the display panel.
Hmmm, yes I suppose that could have happened. It's worth checking at least. Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately, the laptop requires more disassembly then I'd like to get to the back connector.
One thing you could try in order to see what's going on is to boot with an external monitor connected.
Last night the machine reverted to the white screen booting. This morning, with an external monitor attached, there was a white screen flash and then it went to black with the seabios text. I only booted once, so I haven't investigated further.
Thanks, Jason
