CobraKevin Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 This has to be by far the weirdest thing I personally have ever experienced with a computer. Everything that is supposed to display red has a dark green tint to it. Everything from the "X" in the "stop" button in the IE toolbar to the outside of the "X" to close an IE window to my taillights in any picture to Sam's car in any of the pictures to Kurt Angle's outfit in a video to the menu screen on a game I'm playing. I've toyed with the colors in the monitor control (little knob at the bottom of the monitor), I've tried restarting my computer, and a friend of mine told me to check near the cpu for magnets, which there are none. I have no idea why or how this happened. Over this past weekend, my mom and I moved into a condo. I moved the computer myself (which I've done many times to LAN with a buddy) and not it's like this. Anything simple I can look for/try, or is it time for a new monitor/videocard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Sounds like your red channel on the monitor is out. Try swapping monitors and also checking to see if your connection to the PC is loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraKevin Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Just plugged my buddy's monitor in and it works fine. Time for a new monitor, which is good 'cause I need one anyways. smile.gif Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I'd bet the cable but could be something internal, check the connector and see if one of the pins is bent. If it's not intergal to the monitor (probably) try and replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraKevin Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Replaced it today. Got a nice 19" flat screen. Thing is massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
