Well after 4 years my Insperion 5150 15" uxga screen has just up and died on me.. it starts up ok (and I can plug in an external screen ok) it has multi coloured horizontal lines it stars off balck esp in the middle then as it brightens it contracts till the middle 80% is a bright multi coloures swirl (although mistly white) with multi coloured lines around this middle bit.. haveing a look at a previous post its going to cost me $500 bucks for a new one.. or maybe fix the thing? anyone have anyidea what is wrong with it if I can fix it at all???

My Inspiron 5150 starts up with the "white screen" only on the lcd screen but an external monitor works fine. So that means that the video card needs to be replaced?

If your internal LCD does not work but an external monitor works fine, then it is your LCD that needs replacing, not your video card.obiwanmitch

Oh my goodness, I just took my display panel off the body of the laptop, disconnected all the cables to the display itself (connections on the backside of the panel) then reconnected them and now it works fine (knock on wood). Weird.
