Old server is gone

I used to have a CoLocated server.  Its no longer co-located anywhere with internet, so its doing me no good.  It used to run my blog, but I have since switch over to here.  One of the popular posts on it was about my old Acer laptop having a WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH.  Basically the computer would only show a White screen when you powered it on.

The solution is to open the panel on the top right side above the keyboard.  This is where the LCD screen connects to the mother board.  The ribbon cable is only held in with some tape and can easily become loose.  When it does, the screen will go white.   Just push the connection all the way back on and secure it with something better.  I used some blue painter tape.  Some people have noticed the round toroid on the ribbon cable.  This is supposed to be there.  It is to filter the signal LCD screen.  Do not remove it.
