Why is monitor green

Tested monitor on another computer that is known to be working itself and the monitor is fine on the other computer; as well as with its logo and menu system. Checked video card settings and installed a new video card. The computer did have a virus that I was able to remove this is a specialty of mine. The video was working fine after these viruses were removed. Then, the next day or two it began having a yellow-greenish tint to the screen. I have tried installing an update to the BIOS already.

Card Computer: Gateway GT I tried to fix the cable of the monitor.. Thanks for that info. After reading your advice, I reached in back of the computer and the VGA cable was loose and fell off. I tightened it and everything is back to normal.

What I found was, it happened to me when I inserted a new ram. Also, the fact is, I have a 4gb ddr3 mhz ram, and i installed a new 2gb ddr3 mhz ram from another manufacturer. When i remove the new 2gb ram, all works fine. If i insert the new 2gb ram, the windows logo in boot up turns green, loading turns green, also there is a green tint all over the windows. Is there any way to fix it, maybe demagnetize the screen? I have seen this happen to tv's, and it usually wears off after a period of time.

Does this hold true for monitors, or am I stuck? Monitors have a degaussing coil built in, which eventually should restore your colours back to normal.

I'm a monitor technician among other things. Is green the only color you see, or does it just predominate? Is the green tint uniform, or splotchy? What happens when you rap or …. What my little classmates like is turning the monitor Green, through the configuration screen of the monitor itself. If it's not the cables and degaussing perhaps this would be idea? And if you think the problem was during transport, how did …. I think that the prob was caused by transportation. The monitor simply gets bright green glow after i start up the PC.

It gets back to normal after an hour or so But to be serious I always start with the CRT picture tube and work back. This is because Mitsubishi licensed the …. If this problem exists for a lomg time, then perhaps the metallic chassis inside the monitor has become magnetized, and this will require disassemblt in order to effect a cure. What happens when you rap or slap the side of the case?

How old is it? I have a Green Screen problem too. When i was watching TV i was bored and moving my mouse around clicking on the deskt top for no reason. Out of no where my Screen went Green for no reason. Now it wont go back to its original color at all. Everthing is green. Considering your monitor technician title I just thought Have the same problem. The cable has separate inputs for colors and V H sync Thank you in advance! And if you think the problem was during transport, how did you transport it then?

That can be one of several problems, including a bad picture tube, but it's most likely a bad solder connection. Most of the AST monitors were made by Acer , which was known for that problem with that vintage of monitor.

It will probably turns out that the board connector pins are poorly soldered to the printed circuit board. As the unit warms up, stuff expands and the connection "heals" temporarily. Unless you fix it yourself, it may not be economical to repair. Thanks a lot! I guess you are the first person on the web who gave me the proper answer. I'll better save some money for a better second hand model of AST:lol: crap.

This is because Mitsubishi licensed the Trinitron tube from Sony then improved it with a better electron gun design. Log in or Sign up. You are viewing our forum as a guest.

A few days ago, I restarted my computer and now I have a green tint color that completely covers any other color except black. I looked around on many forums and contacted technical support from my computers' manufacturer. I have tried many things; Turning off the pc and checking the hinges, screws and what not on the monitor, PC and the cable that connects the two.

I tested the monitor and the cable that came with the monitor on a different PC and it came out fine however, I tried a different monitor plus a different cable on my PC The green tint remained.

Also tried updating display drivers and the tech support told me to reinstall VGA drivers So, I've come for help to seek an answer because I've never had this problem on my old computer. Starkiss ,. Feel free to ask questions. I know I left some elements out but, this green is a true eyesore after staring at it a long while Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.

If you start the computer in Safe Mode does the problem remain? PeteC ,. Sadly, I have tried that already aswell. Also, it appears right as the computers gets to the boot screen, like the Acer logo and the bios info Thanks for the advice though. I have a feeling it is the VGA
