Alright well ive had this laptop for over a year now and i cant figure out whats going on with it.

Model: LG Xnote A1-PP01A9 running Win XP

1) The screen is completely white and it loads into windows i can hear the sound i just cant view the desktop as the screen is white.

2) How do you reformat and install windows on this laptop? as it has no CD-ROM drive only USB ports?

This is all i could i find on it.

I have no idea if or how i can make a bootable USB device to reinstall windows, Im thinking maybe a virus or something harmful has deleted files or maybe it just needs a reinstall of windows.

maybe a bad connector cable between the video and screen. at any rate it looks like a video issue to me.

Oh snap, Thats your inverter. Basically what sends video to your screen. Its a small board. You can find a new one here http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/L...Inverters.aspx

I took apart the laptop and disconnected all the cables and reattached them securely and it still does it.

If so.. shake the laptop hard and see any results lol(bad suggestion)
You can boot from a USB, in bios u can see a option for it,

BTW LGE is always been crap.
I had a DVD ROM of LG, it stopped reading DVD's before i i tried to play a DVD,

Lol ill try shacking it

I know you can boot from USB in the bios but how on earth do you make a bootable/windows XP or even Vista USB drive?

Oh yeah its cracked but the crack has never affected the laptop before that crack happened about 3 months before this issue happened.

if its a failing cable then it wouldn't matter how many times you reattach it, but dude up there might be right about the inverter
