White screen of…death?

The other day I was adjusting my laptop screen when all of a sudden everything started turning white. It’s like the white seemed to bleed from where I was grasping the LCD to the rest of the screen. It took just a few second before the whole screen showed a solid wash of nothingness. I sort of panicked and started turning the thing on and off in an attempt to see if it was a temporary thing. Unfortunately for me, the problem didn’t go away.

I took out my RGB monitor cable and connected my monitor to the thing, just to see if it was either the laptop or the video card. Luckily, the monitor was displaying Windows just fine, which means it’s just the laptop.

Sigh! I guess that just means I have to bring it in the get fixed. Luckily I caved in and got that extended warranty deal when I got the thing. Who would have known?
