AHH! My monitor keeps turning PINK!

[LiekOMG]

I've actually had this problem for a few months, but i thought it was my voodoo5 dying on it. Every once in a while i would notice the color on my Samsung Syncmaster 900p starting to turn more and more pink. I eventually went and jiggled the wire from the monitor into the computer and it turned normal white again. But i just got a Ti200 card and its still doing that. I'm sure there is a lose connection between the vid card and the cable, but the cable is screwed into the vid card as far as she'll go, and there isn't much more i can do about it. I find myself jiggling the wire every hour now to keep my screen white. Is there anything I can try? Do you think samsung would replace the monitor (doubtful)?

If you've had the same problem with 2 different video cards, it's obviously the monitor and/or it's connector.. If it's under warranty and the problem can be easily reproduced, I see no reason why they'd give you a hard time to replace it..

Seems like a loose connection between one of the pins and the cabling as part of the connector. I'm sure you can get that cable replaced by a monitor repair shop or something for cheap. It could be something else I guess, so you should exercise your warrantee if you have one.

Try degaussing your monitor... most have the feature built in (it's a button on the front, or in the menu)... I had the same problem and that cured it. if you don't have the feature, i believe you can buy a kit.
