| 244227 | 2004-06-14 01:09:00 | Hi Folks Any one had experience of the screen developing an odd colour - sort of shitty yellow. In all programs. How do I reterieve the plain white - or is it time to replace this five year old item. |

If its a KTX Model CAE364SG, CAE356SG or CAE565SG then these were recalled in 1998 due to a fault that could cause them to catch fire. Another reason to get rid of it if its affected by the fault. |

A gentle wack on the side or top used to fix it....not that I recommend you bash your monitor. It only fixed the problem for an hour or so and in the end I got that fed up I replaced it. | Sb0h (3744) | ||
| 244230 | 2004-06-14 02:38:00 | I think your monitor is on its last legs Scouse, but check This Thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) for a bigger picture view. Sounds like the blue gun is dying, but you can confirm this by getting some big blue text up on your screen or draw a 5 x 5 box in MS Paint and fill it with dark blue (or as blue as you can get it) then turn off your monitor, count to 10 or 15 then turn it on again. If the screen comes up predominantly yellow and the blue takes much longer to appear at full strength then it's off to PriceSpy for you, to find a nice new 17" or 19" screen. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 244231 | 2004-06-14 05:07:00 | Thank you folks. It does indeed look like it is time for a change. As a long time user of 14 and 15 inch VDU's, I have wanted a genuine reason for getting the next step - 17" here I come. | Scouse (83) | ||
