HELP!! Monitor is showing RED color in place of WHITE
 |
I moved to another place recently and in the process I moved my PC as well. The monitor may have been turned up side down or side wards in shifting process.
I hooked up the computer at the new place and as soon as I turned on the PC.. There was a quick bright display on the screen and then it turned off and the turned on again and showed all the booting sequence. The screen was black as it should be but the fonts which are supposed to be WHITE are RED. After loading Windows XP, everything looks reddish. Other functionalities are perfect but the normal color never comes back.
PLease suggests me if you know about this problem. The school has started and I am having hard time working on my computer..
Will be very thankful....

i have never heard of that before.. if you have already exhausted the option that it is something that can be corrected through adjustment of the monitor settings, i'm sorry to say it looks like you might need to have a technician look at it...

make sure there isn't a bent pin on the monitor cable where it connects to the video card or try removeing and Reseating the vido card unless you have unboard video of course .

If you are brave enough, you can open up the monitor and try reseating the PC board that is on the neck of the CRT (Be careful) Sometimes corrosion can build up on the pins of the CRT and you will get funny colours on the display. Reseating the PCB will 'wipe' the contacts a wee bit, restore contact and hopefully the proper colours will return.
i have a similar problem except everything has a greenish tint. it shows more w/ blacks and greys. im not brave enough to open up my moniter though
hey thats deadly advice monitors can contain a powerful shock in theyre compacitators use plastic screwdrivers

If you don't have a child's toybox 
then use a normal screwdriver but wrap the top of the blade (closets to the handle) in Electritian's Tape.

Don't tear the monitor apart unless you know what's going on behind there.

For all the newbies like yourself were talking about Insulated Electricians screwdrivers black tape is what dead idiots use. You should get a patent for that Electritian taped screwdriver.
