Screen on laptop goes white

The screen on my Acer Aspire 4315 goes white quite frequently. I have to use the button to turn it off and then back on. I don't know if this is a Windows Vista problem or a problem with my laptop. Can you help? Same laptop same problem, my brother has the same laptop and the same problem. We both have Vista, same issues. Acer Aspire 4315-2004

I have an Acer Aspire 4315 with Windows Vista. From time to time the screen goes completely white. I get over the problem by putting the PC in sleep mode (fn/f4) and then waking it up (any key), the screen is then back for whatever time. I would however a better solution then sending the laptop back to Acer. Anybody got any Idea's.

It isn't the screen saver as another user suggested. It just happens, for no discernable reason, and with more and more frequency. It happens while I am using my laptop, not while it is sitting unused. The screen goes white and I can not get it to come back without doing something like shutting the lid and waiting for the computer to go into sleep-mode.

Does anyone know why? How to stop it from happening? It's really obnoxious.

My acer aspire 4315 laptop screen goes dark

ASPIRE ONE BIOS FLASH RECOVERY

First format an USB stick with FAT.

Download the latest BIOS, and put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the stick. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD, that's important. Do not remove the USB stick.

Turn the AA1 off, make sure both battery and AC adapter are connected. Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking. Press the power button once. The AA1 will now initiate the BIOS flash, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. After a while the power button will stop blinking, and the AA1 will reboot shortly after. Wait patiently.

The BIOS has been flashed and all settings reset to default.

If for some reason you made a mistake during the procedure and it doesn't reboot by itself wait 5 minutes before turning it off, just to be safe that it isn't still flashing the BIOS.

White screen appear

If the problem started after changing your graphics driver, then reinstall the old driver. Acer should have the original drivers on their web site. If you don't want to go back, you could try updating the bios, that also should be on the web site.

My acer aspire 4315 turns white screen anytime am using it.

It's caused by a defective LCD inverter. Very common problem.

White blank on acer 4315

Go to www.acer.com, choose Service and Support, choose Driver Download, choose Drivers & Downloads, select Product Line Notebook, select Aspire 4315, click Search.

The above should get you to here :
http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/portal20.cfm?website=AcerPanAm.com&siteid=7117&areaid=2&formid=3394#results

Click on "Flash BIOS v1.13 " which is the latest BIOS for the 4315.

Follow the instructions to download and extract the files.

In order to Run the Vv2-113.exe file, you will need to right-click on it and choose "Run as administrator"

Make sure your battery is fully charged before updating a BIOS and do NOT power off the laptop during the update process.

This seems to have fixed most of the white screen problems on the 4315 that I am working on. The Fn-F4 "standby" and power button (or FN key) "resume" process described earlier is worth remembering because I have still had a couple of the white screens with the latest BIOS. Both times seemed to be when the screen saver was trying to start (lots better than during the boot-up!), so I have changed from the Acer default screen saver to something simpler hoping that the change makes the problem less frequent.
