Question

What if I'm using a Windows laptop that doesn't have the "Print screen" button?

Community Answer

If you have a snipping tool, you can use that for screenshots and printing. Most up-to-date Windows systems have this tool, but if yours doesn't, you can download one.

Community Answer

On Windows 7, when you Ctrl + PrtScrn, it saves it to your clipboard. You can then copy it into Paint and save it.

Question

Will the screenshot appear when I paste it from the clipboard?

Community Answer

Yes. If you press, "Print Screen," and then paste or hit Ctrl+V onto a Word or Paint document, you should be able to paste the screenshot you took.

Question

What to do with a white screen display of a laptop?

This sounds like an issue with the screen display. The display board may have a component that has failed, a similar issue has occurred with my laptop before. The best course of action is to replace the display ribbon cable first, if that doesn't solve the issue then the screen display itself may need replacing.
