Topic: LG Monitor Problem

Heyas.

Got an LG F700P about a month or 2 ago, and sometimes now it will suddenly go all orange. Like an orange wash with cover the whole screen.

Usually fixes itself if i turn it off and on.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

And yeah, I'll ring the place where I got it but would like to know what the prob actually is.

I have some speakers, maybe 1 foot from the very back of the monitor - could this be harming it?

check the plug going to your video card, otherwise haven't knocked the cable at the back where it comes out of the monitor at all?

are the speakers just random speakers not safe to place near monitors?

if so, that could well be it.

yeah they're just stereo mini system speakers.

but they're a foot from the back edge of the monitor....which i thought was heaps.

I vote checking the plug into your vid. card
Dont have any cables hanging over that cable, or it will sag sometimes and do that colour f***up

Seems pretty solid to me, but next time it goes orange i'll try the plug and see what happens.

i get that too with my sony.

In my case, its because the cable coming out of the back of the monitor that goes to your video card has come loose or something.

what i have to do to fix it, is to put a small box under the cable where it comes out of the monitor, so it supports it, cause it only goes yellow when its lying down and not supported. does that make sense..

they operated on him last sunday, has been in an induced coma since then, they are in the process of trying to wake him up.

10% chance of waking up, if he wakes up, right side of body will be paralyzed, possible complete loss of memory, and will be in a wheel chair.. all if he wakes up, doesnt sound worth it..

just take him to a cliff, stick him near the edge and if he wants to go, let him. Just say you were all sitting at the top, turned your back, when you turned around you saw him driving off the cliff (if it's an electric wheelchair).

Personally I think I'd rather be dead than a vego. I might sign a DNR order, if I die don't f***ing resucitate me.

You did it wrong :)

Just lift it up at the back .. the cable .. not the connector
I bet ya..

Or your cable might be dodgy :)

does it happen when you open certain application?

try opening winamp, go away for 5 minutes and come back and see if it's orange

Yeh!!! If this doesn't work then try it with your other 100 applications! Could be fun!...

oh ok. yeah i was fiddling with connection, not the cable. But i moved the cable a bit too in the process and it didnt change anything...

It just does it randomly, not program related.

It's done it on bootup before etc.

Listen faghat, I have the same monitor and experience a similar problem to Stez's. Although mine is not as serious as Stez's sounds, anyway when opening winamp the auto white balance goes off the scale and a shade of blue appears in the middle of the monitor.

If you're not here to help, go jump in a fire of burning plastics.

Not sure if its been said. BUt check the actual PINS on the end where you plug the monitor to the tower.

One of them could be bent/lose or even too short and its not connecting properly or something.

Worth a shot
