I have a PCG-252L All-in-one desktop. Last week it downloaded some updates, restarted, and even since then is shows nothing but a white screen.

I can hear the beeps on startup, screen changes from white to black a couple of times, and then stays white.

There's no VGA or HDMI port on the computer, so I can't plug it into the external monitor.

Any ideas?
