Fade to PINK!!??

[jonno]

Bam, my monitor just got very pink. There is no green to speak of. Does this mean I blew the green gun or what? I love this monitor but's gettin old. An Iiyama Vision Master Pro17 that set me back 800 bucks. Ouch.

What is your video card? Certain GF4 Ti 4200 models (made by Gainward) are experiencing failures resulting in PSODs (pink screens of death). Is this a possibility for you?

Aaaaaah. If only. I have a Matrox G550. The screen is pink even at Post. I'm dyin here. But thanks for your reply.

The answer is in the question. The pink screen of death referred to above is very different from a monitor without any green. It could also be the green pin. If all the pins are intact, then the gun's dead. Time for zeee replacement!!!!

P.S. What's your favorite type of food 😉

make sure a power cable isn't touching the moniter cable . happens to me all the time when the kids move one of the comps.
good luck

I have seen this a lot of times in my college computer.... jiggling the VGA hookup to the card helps out most of the time 🙂

good bet is that it is the green pin on the vga connector..a friend of mine had his red pin break and it took us a while to find that out..put a new pin in and all was good!! of course, its gonna suck if it turns out NOT to be a pin :Q

my roommate had an Envision monitor do this. The monitor is screwed, if the pins are OK, and there's nothing you can do to fix it 'cept send it to the mfr.

did you check your pins yet?? cause i wanna know!!😛

Thanks all. It ain't the pins. I tried another cable with BNC connections, same deal. It is most assuredly something inside the monitor. And more than likely a dead gun. Heading into town this afternoon to get something to tide me over.

I had an Iiyama Vision Master 17 (ancient 17 incher) with BNC inputs. It displayed the same symptoms, but the problem was (AFAIK) in the BNC cable, because wiggling the cable in a certain way would cause the monitor to work properly (for a second). 🙁

BTW, is it just me, or did anybody else, when they first saw the title before the thread loaded, think that this was mis-posted here from off topic and was some terrible pun on a Metallica song? 😱 😉

Do you know what models those GF4s are or where I could find out? Because recently I been experiencing similar problems to the PSOD. Thanks.
