White screen on Inspiron
After turning on Inspiron N5110 for 2 minutes the screen became totally white and all keyboards were unresponsive. You have to force shutdown and when starting again the screen shows only white background but can hear windows starting sound and mainboard beeps for 5 times. All keyboards are unresponsive. What happened and what should I do.
