Odd dual display problem.

[-Gavin-]

Iäve been using an external 19" widescreen TFT with my laptop in a dual screen config for a wee while but one day i started up and there was a yellow tint.

Its not a cable/monitor problem cause i tested it with 2 other laptops in the house and i've got 3 OS' installed (Vista, XP and XP) and it's the same problem on all of them making it probably not a driver issue...

However,

Itäs a compaq presario v6000 laptop, Gforce go 6150 onboard GFX.

Pic of both screens.

Ideas?

I might have to bust out some Mantis on his arse

First problem is your choice in coffee--Nescafe??

The monitor issue is most likely the monitor itself, especially considering its not confined to a single machine or OS. Can you adjust the settings and if so does it improve the quality at all? How old is it? It may still be under warranty

It's not a monitor problem. It works with other laptops in the house...

vista strikes!!!

Also does it on my 2 XP partitions

This is not an OS/Cable/Monitor problem

Have you gone into your device properties of your lappys external monitor feature? its probs a graphics, or conflict issue with your laptop

 

[EerieVon]

so the tint only effects one system but not the others, try looking into the monitor settings of either the graphics adapter or the monitor itself.
Some will have a "Temperature setting" it changes the color frequency from cool to warm, flourescent etc.

 

[Metaltastic]

Hmm, good point eerie, it does look like a display set on the extreme end of "warm"

it's a broken videocard connector, swap the monitors and see if the other monitor looks that way.

 

[-Gavin-]

Explain?

And how do i fix it?

Yeah, I would suspect this also. I have repaired TV:s that had blue cathode ray dead so the result is yellowish picture. This coud easily happen with vga connectors that have RGB signal

Any idea on fixing?

Can't replace the GFX card...
