Monitor color problem

My back up PC has a 17 inch Sansumg Syncmaster 753cf
monitor on it....

running windows-ME with 128 mb mem on a 40 gb hd..

all of a sudden my monitor turned a terrible yellow green color...and nothing I can do will change it,,

It appears to be missing red and blue....

do I have a new boat achor or is there anything that can be done to revive it....there are no adjustments on the back or front for color..

give it your best shot---viejo

It sounds like one of the guns in the CRT may have issues. You could take it to a TV repair man, but it probably would cost more to fix it than its worth. If you have any computer shows in your area you can find used ones for under 50 bucks I believe.

First thing to check: did you recently unplug the monitor cable and plug it back in? If you accidentally bent one or more of the pins inside the plug, that will cause colors to disappear.

Next: If all your pins are in good shape, I second percussive maintenance. Beat the shit out of it until the blue and red guns come back on. Worked like a champ on my piece of crap Relisys monitor for years.

If percussive maintenance fails, find a tall bridge and have fun chucking it from the peak :-)

if the cable has been bent too much the wires inside can start to split, which fucks with the color signals...is the cable fucked up? i had to splice the cable on one of mine,
