I think I've narrowed down the cause of the white screen issue on this laptop. I have the problem whenever I boot the computer when the battery is low. This is regardless of whether or not it's plugged in. If I take the battery out and wake up the computer while it's plugged in. I don't have a problem. I also don't have a problem if the battery is fully charged and not plugged in.
Does anyone know if I buy a new battery if this will fix the problem? I'd hate to buy a new battery and be stuck with the same problem. Any other ideas as to fixing this isssue? thanks, JB On Mon, 14 Feb 2005 15:39:21 -0700, Jared Bernard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >over the weekend I did a HD install of Knoppix on the > Compaq.
