I was handed a Dell Inspiron 1545 today which has a white screen on boot. I tested on an external display which received no input from the laptop. I tried a number of options I found online like pulling the battery and holding down the power for a few seconds, and holding the fn key when booting, but no luck. I also tried removing the hard drive and cd rom for the heck of it. Removing the memory does cause a post beep though. All I want to know is if it is definitively dead or not. Thanks.
