white screen of death

[lawlkashatow]

I have had my MacBook for almost two years and the battery had just died on me. So I sent it back to Apple and got a new one. But ever since switching over to this new battery, my computer has had issues starting up. A grey screen fades into white and the Apple logo never appears. The computer will just stay like that for hours. A friend suggested turning the power off and back on, holding apple+ctrl+P+R, which worked. However, the next time I turned my computer on, the screen stayed white again, without an Apple logo. Can you tell me what the deal is? Should I bother reporting this to Apple? Is this permanent damage I'm going to have to go thru everytime I start me laptop? Any way to fix it? Thanks.

Do you get these issues when you just use the power cable with the battery NOT IN?
That would eliminate the battery or point to it as being the cause.
White, Grey and Blue screens nearly always point to Motherboard issues.
If your Mac worked wirh the PRAM reset.. then try removing the extra RAM you have installed (if you have some) as that could also point to the issue.
