As reported by , a Dell Inspiron 1545 that powers on to a white screen with small lines is most commonly a hardware failure rather than an OS issue. The suggestions from (external-display test) and (RAM / video checks) are on the right track; the following gives a concise, ordered diagnostic sequence and what each result implies.

  1. Remove AC and battery, hold the power button ~15–30 seconds to discharge residual power, then boot from AC only.
  2. Reseat memory: test each RAM module alone in every slot. A single-stick pass isolates a bad module or slot.
  3. Observe before the OS loads (POST / BIOS). If the artifact appears during POST, drivers are not involved and the fault is hardware.
  4. External display test (VGA/HDMI): if the external is clean while the laptop’s panel shows the white-screen/lines, the likely culprits are the LCD panel, the display cable at the hinge (LVDS/eDP), or the panel connector/inverter/LED driver. If the external shows the same artifact (including during BIOS), the GPU or motherboard is implicated.
  5. Gently move the lid while powered on (no force). If the lines change when the lid angle changes, that points strongly to a worn/loose hinge cable or connector rather than the GPU.

Useful notes and cautions: back up data if intermittent booting occurs. If the machine is under warranty, avoid opening it. When comfortable with disassembly, reseating the display cable at the panel and motherboard is a low-cost check; otherwise, replacing the display assembly is often cheaper than motherboard repair. Avoid risky fixes like GPU “reflow” unless done by a specialist.

Try connecting it to an external monitor and see if you get the same result. If you do get the same thing happen, try removing and refitting the ram (while the laptop is turned off only).

Your fault could be caused by many things so it is a process of elimination to find the cause.

This sounds like an artifact.

This is probably hardware-related.
Check you RAM and Videocard.

As mentioned above -connect an external monitor to the vga port on the laptop.
