Assuming no one comes up with a better offer

I can supply a free one depending on the following:
It will have Windows XP
It will be suitable for web browsing/email and office - heavy app's like PSP or video editing won't be easy

You would have to supply mouse/keyboard/monitor

Is it always from 'cold' that it whites out ? Is the monitor left on standby when the PC is switched off ?

[andysd1]

both, when switched on from cold, or if its been on standby

This isn't really my field of expertise, but a bit of Googling suggests video amplifiers or the ribbon cable, although the cable is less likely. It will probably do this and progressively get worse until it dies.

Hello Mate most proberly the ribbon from the screen to the main board i recommend having a look and replacing it and also have a aerosol can to clear the dust away cuz that can cause heat and static which in time can damage the device more than it sounds ike it is,

Do no use lynx or oust a lol u can purcase the cans from pcworld

hope this helps
