Connect an external display to see if the white screen is limited to your notebook display. If the external display is normal then your notebook display is failing but the video solution on the systemboard is OK.

Is the notebook still within its warranty period? (standard warranty is one year)

f your notebook is still in warranty I reccomend that you Contact HP for warranty service. Your notebook has a video chip issue and the simplest solution is to have that repaired under warranty.

Hello friend, Thx again, unfortunately my notebook is not in warranty; I just want to do the correct to solve that, I have checked on Ebay some Video cards and would like to ask your help again based on my notebook model, what of theses items would be compatible with my notebook. First my notebook is this:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&tmp_geoLoc=true&product=3884580

I found it these items on Ebay, is it compatible with my laptop??

Plz help me

Most notebooks do not have video cards. Notebook PCs and desktop PCs are very different. The video in a notebook comes from a chip that is integrated (soldered ) into the chipset on the motherboard. Some noteboooks (usually higher end) have an additional discrete video module. It would be quite unusual for your notebook to require a discrete video module during boot into BIOS. For that reason I suggest that you not put cash into a product on eBay that may very well not be suitable for your notebook. Chances are that it would be a waste of money.

Sorry to bear bad news.

Hello friend, Thanks again for your answer, I have news about my problem; today I opened my notebook and disconnected the lcd screen cable as you can see on video below and connected a VGA cable in another monitor and I can see the windows to start but when I connect again the lcd screen cable the image lost on external monitor, you can see also that I "shake" on screen to see if it's a problem with lcd screen flat cable, but I don't think so because I think with architecture of this laptop the problem would not be this cable, I think that the problem is the LCD screen, what do you think??

1- Link disconnecting the LCD screen cable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_A2sV5UDxo&feature=youtu.be

2- Link shaking the LCD screen laptop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8RdZFd_Mh0&feature=youtu.be

P.S: will be that I will have to change the LCD Sceen??

P.S: Today when I turn on the notebook I got to hear the windows start, but the white screen It remained

Hugs and Cheers to all there

HI,

If you can see a normal Windows desktop with an external  display connected the the problem is the LCD screen. Time to replace it.

Connecting the LCD and reconnecting it while it is live is not a great plan. the LCD screens are not hot-swappable items.

Merry Christmas Eve,
