| 262886 | 2004-08-18 06:42:00 | I lent a friend an old Digital 166 Meg. She's had it for a few years, runs Win 98 w/o probs, good 4 email, but the monitor has suddenly gone monochrome. It's got the latest SV64 drivers, and when I switch in the on-screen monitor controls, they're in glorious colour, so it's unlikely to be the tube. The appearance settings in Control are stock standard, so I'm at a loss. Not drivers; not hardware; any ideas? | arfitty (2716) | ||

Or some bent pins when it was getting plugged in. I bent two pins on my 19" monitor and had the same result. Luckily they straightened without snapping off. |
