Laptop Screen Went White
Acer Aspire Laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit was working just fine when I walked away from it for a few minutes. When I returned the screen was white and nothing I did could get me back to my desktop. I shut it down and restarted and now there is no video at all. The screen remains black and I don't even see the Acer splash screen. Please advise.
Thank you!

This is often caused by a bad cable. Sometimes moving the display back and forth can bring something up on the display.

Wow, from that video, it looks like Acer has a production defect. It doesn't tell you much, but possibly shows a problem where the inverter cover is secured incorrectly.
sounds like a inverter grounding issue
Yes, it could be. Where is QC in the production process?
qc does not check every device just a representative selection
if still under warranty - use it for a reppair, or replacement
Any update on your issue?

Here is an update - I decided the first thing to do would be connect to an external monitor to try and narrow down the problem so I took my laptop to my basement where I had an extra monitor and connected it. I saw that there was an image on the screen so I went back upstairs to get the power cord and when I came back down there was an image on the external monitor and the laptop LCD. It has been working ever since. I did notice, though, that the time was off by exactly one hour. I am not sure why that was but I reset it and will keep an eye on it.
Glad to hear it's working.
>> the time was off by exactly one hour << it looks like you got a bad contact in the bios battery
remove AC and battery for a minute, and check the bios settings after reconnecting

if the external video port has display, look closer to the lcd, if you see an image, (its dark) it might be your back light is faulty .....sorry for my bad english...: )

It worked for a while then started getting a green cast to it. I connected it to an external monitor and the video was fine. Had to replace the LCD.
