Hey, I have a Dell C400 laptop with a 12.1" LCD screen that will randomly turn completely white during windows, in the BIOS, in DOS, whatever. It will return to normal after a second or so, and plugging it into my 2001FP shows that it operates normally. Moving the screen back and forth doesnt seem to fix it, and I have disassembled it and reassembled it probably 10 times now and cant find the source of the problem. The LCD is usually fine, but it will just occasionally turn white or become garbled. The backlight stays on while it turns white, so I dont think that is the problem.

Anybody have any idea what the problem might be?
