Help--My screen just turned green

[randr]

A sickly green hue.

1. check cable

[rock]

3. Yep. Dollars to doughnuts

Either the end that goes inot the monitor or the end that goes into the computer needs re-seating.

4. Thanks for the suggestion

I pull the cord, blew on it , and reseated it to no avail. For some reason the color adjustment on my monitor does not let me alter the blue hue. I am afraid its curtains for the monitor.

2. it's the effect of Ralph Nader... (DS1 is correct, actually, but...

I thought I'd be a smartass. :D )

5. Try Lysol

or bleach?
;-)

6. Could be the cable. Could be that the monitor is toast.

7. Did you check BOTH ends of the cable (if that's your case...)

My monitor cable is not hard-wired into the monitor, so it could come unseated from either the monitor or the computer.

8. My screen turns yellow now and then

and I just whack it upside the head once or twice and that "fixes" it, for a while anyway. It's pretty old really -- maybe 8 years. Just saving my pennies for an LCD monitor.
