lost the color green in the monitor's color spectrum...............is this fixable...........or do i just go shoppin'

Did someone say Acid?

It sounds like one of you electron guns in your tube has gone - much as you already suspect. This is the most likely cause, but it could also be due to some part of the electronics that controls the green gun has stopped working. If the gun has gone then you'll definitely need a new monitor as they are not worth fixing because of the cost, and good monitors are very cheap right now. If the problem is with the gun, then it will be permanently off and not intermittent. If you experience any occassional return to the correct colour then you may be able to fix it as it is most likely due to a poor contact somewhere in the green gun circuit.

thx..............time to make a switch

Thanks man, its nice when that happens.

Have you ever tried waving a magnet behind your TV or computer screen? Yeah, you might have done that.

It's good to read a post without one single period. That is unbelievable :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Losing a single color on your monitor is typically caused by a bad connection.

Check the pins inside your monitor's VGA connector and ensure they are straight and the same length. Also check that the connection is firm and secure. You may even want to wiggle the connectors behind the monitor and behind your system to see if the green color flickers off and on..

It is very possible there is a short or severance in your VGA cable preventing one or more of the pins not to connect properly. Most monitors have the cables built-in, but there are many that have replacable VGA cables.

I don't think I've ever seen a tube go bad and just effect one color, although that is possible I'm sure.

The cable on my trinitron monitor does that from time to time, the green and red wires are a little off, so if the cable gets squished, everything appears in blue.
