680646 2008-06-20 10:07:00 I have an HP notebook dv6209TX and i am getting a pink screen which seems to be more dominant on the left hand side of the screen. If the notebook goes into a sleep mode and when it wakes again the whole screen is virtually pink but does dissipate after a short while.

I have rebooted into safe mode and in the bios and the tinge is still there.

Can anyone help me with my problem.

Cheers :)

Seems like a colour management problem to me. Goto START>CONTROL PANEL>DISPLAY>SETTINGS>ADVANCED>COLOR MANAGEMENT. Is there any profiles showing? If none, click ADD and you should see a selection, choose one closest to your monitor and make it the default. Try others and see if this makes a difference.

Let us know if this helps?

After futher thought, your problem might be due to a magnetic field close to your display. Have you got speakers, cordless phones or anything within close proximity.

As you stated the screen is pink predominately on the left side this is the side to look closely at for any EM Interference Sources.

This can sometimes happen if the display gets hot too. Check this also.

Try hooking up an external monitor, if it's still doing it, I would suspect the video output from the motherboard is defective; if not, LCD screen or cabling/connection to the screen is defective.

680651 2008-06-21 10:13:00 i would suspect the green and blue pixels are going dim, if you've tried the external monitor and it still has a pink twinge to it the video adaptor (as feersumendjinn said) might be faulty. does it go pink mainly on white images and are green, blue or cyan coloured images a bit dim on it compared to red images. williamF (115)

You have a female computer & you are embarrasing it. Type firmly & do NOT slide your fingers across the keyboard in a sensuas manner. Then it will be alright. The pink you are seeing is a blush. !! PJ :D :thumbs:
