Netbook Screen Turns to White Noise after Turning on within 1 Minute

Hi, today I suddenly found that when I turned on my Asus netbook, no matter which OS (it's dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10) I boot into, the screen just suddenly goes to white noise either within a minute of logging in (Ubuntu gets maybe 2 minutes), or as early as at the black Windows boot up flag logo screen. Then the only option is to do a hard power off. I tried taking out the battery, unplugging the power, waiting for a few minutes, then turning it back on, and same thing happens. I don't know what to do anymore. Seems like a hardware issue, but which piece of hardware, and what do I do to fix it? This is a pretty new ASUS netbook bought November 2011. Intel Atom N570 dual core, 1 GB RAM. Dual boot Windows 7 + Ubuntu 11.10.

Could be a problem with the flat cable (the connection from video to motherboard) but since your screen starts to fail after a little time could be a problem with the integrated Intel GPU too.
If your model has the second GPU (Like Nvidia Ion) try to disable it and see what happen.
A good test is to turn on you netbook and leave it on Bios settings page to see if the issue is software related or not.
Another test is to hook an external monitor (if you have a VGA or HDMI port available) and see if the GPU is ok.
If the problem is the flat cable you can try to replace it but if you have a faulty GPU and you are out of warranty you need th replace the entire motherboard because normally GPU is part of the chipset and can't be replaced.

Hello I have a asus 1001p netbook that doesn't

Sounds like a job for a repair shop that can attach an external drive to it and reload the operating system.

I need to reformat my ASUS

Hello,

Some eee pc asus netbook are designed to have an integrated OS reset which means that you can reset it to its factory setting by just pressing on a key.

Here's what you can try before doing the clean reinstallation. Turn on the computer. Once it's turning on, tap F8. If your netbook has the integrated OS reset, then, it will go to a screen where you can see the set up instructions. Just follow the instructions on the screen.

If F8 does not work, you need to do the OS reinstallation. You badly need an external dvd drive for that because netbooks do not have that component. DVD drive is needed for the OS reinstallation disc.

If you can find an external DVD drive, then, read the following tutorials that I made. Just click on the right tutorial.

The fault is in the motherboard - it can't be fixed, you will have to replace it. Take the netbook to a repair shop , this is a very complicated job.

ASUS 1005HA netbook suddenly always restarts

Good day sir/maam, the sudden restart of you notebook, may be cause by a sudden fluctuation of AC mains, it could also be cause by other sources such as nearby machineries. which boils down to the notebook's power supply module. Is it capable of supplying good descent power to your notebook. Try moving to other places, such as well at work or any place where you think there is stable power. Hope this helps. thanks
