Asus q503ua started booting to a white screen, with only a cursor arrow showing. I tried CTRL-ALT-DEL and CTRL-SHIFT-ESC. But neither worked. All help is welcome. Thanks!!

I see the Asus and Windows screens, but that's it. No Explorer or anything. I haven't tried the battery. I'm almost afraid, as I've never done it.
 
if you are seeing asus, then windows, then white, the battery removal won't help. not sure why you would be afraid of removing a battery. it cant cause any harm and its very simple. do you have your information backed up? first, see if you can boot in safe mode. if that doesn't work, i'd recommend a clean install. most laptops have a built in option to set it back to factory. it will remove all of your data.

It's more of a fear of the unknown, I suppose. Unfortunately, I can't seem to Reboot. The only thing that I am able to do is power off and on with the power button.

Now I cannot see anything. It's almost as if it won't power up. Lately, I've had to jiggle the cord whenever I am using the power button. I ordered a new cable. So, I'm waiting on that.
