When I turn my MacBook air on a blank White screen

My first generation Macbook Air would do the same thing from time to time. I never was able to figure out what was causing it; however, I never seemed to have any problems other than the funky noise that it would make periodically.

You might try doing an SMC reset as described on the Apple web site to see if that mitigates the issue: (click here)

Hi Ken. If everything works but the picture, it would suggest that the video connector is not properly mated on the motherboard.

The problem in blank white screen is the display (LCD). Send it to a technician for repair. The blinking folder with a question mark is conflict on drivers. Have you installed a software lately? If you do please uninstall it. Maybe that is the cause of having a blank white screen.

Also, try holding down the power button until you hear a beep.

please connect the adaptor with power outlets

that normally happend when the macbook do not find the software you can read this apple post http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440

To isolate the issue.please connect the notebook to external monitor with the help of VGA port.(Blue PORT) on the notebook.if it good with out any lines.you need to fix the LCD screen of the Notebook.

Sounds like it could be a corrupted OS; have you tried forcing it to start up with the OS disk, holding down the 'C' key? That's the first place to start...

If it won't start up like that, you probably have a hardware problem. (You can get excellent troubleshooting guidance at: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/ ) depending on your level of geekness, and assuming the warranty is expired?

Good luck

i would start up with the CD that comes with the Macbook when you purchase it by holding the C key down upon restart (keep the C key held down through the tone until you get the spinning grey graphic). when it gets to an install screen, go to the Utilities menu and run Disk Utility on the internal hard drive. run repair on that hard drive to see if the catalog on that hard drive is corrupted. it should repair it. it if doesn't OR you don't see the hard drive in the list inside Disk Utility, you may have a failed hard drive which may need replacing.

try to check the memory
