hi, can anyone tell me why my screen on my imac is all white? the last time i use it was 6 months ago because i had to move. so i unplugged it and now i wanna use it again but when i turn it on, it's all just white on screen, i try to reinstall everything by using the disk but still nothing, can anyone tell me what's wrong with my computer?
 
When you boot up on the install disk is the screen still just white ?
 
yes, still white. am i doing something wrong?

i have not use my computer for about 6 months since i move from old place to a new one. and i am sure that my computer has not drop or shake anything like that at all. so can you tell me why is the screen still white even though i have insert the disk?

Oh wow! 6 months, that's a long time without usage. Sounds like it got malfamished and died!

Check the Apple Support Forums at the Apple website there is some discussion
about white Screens.
 
Command+Option+P+R at boot might do the trick. A PRAM reset (what this is) is a good starting point :)
