Pink monitor screen what to do

A high-quality and clear image on a monitor or laptop, as well as a tablet computer, is the key to successful work, study or a pleasant vacation. However, from time to time the screen may become unstable. For example, it may take on a pink tint, which is not normal. Read further about the main causes of the malfunction and how to get rid of this problem yourself.

Why the screen turned pink and how to remove it

All equipment fails sooner or later. Pink color appearing on the screen is one of the common problems. Moreover, the screen can be painted either completely, partially or in stripes. This unpleasant situation can happen with completely different models of both laptops and desktop devices. Changing the monitor screen color to pink can cause quite a lot of stress for its owner. However, there is no need to panic. After all, in any case, most faults in equipment can be repaired. First you need to do a simple inspection of the power supply and monitor networks.

ATTENTION! Designers and photographers are especially sensitive to the color rendering of the device. The quality of the products they create depends on the correct color settings.

There are simple recommendations that will help identify the problem even for a non-technical user.One of the most common and simple recommendations is to simply reboot the device. If possible, it is better to connect another monitor to the computer. This will allow you to accurately understand whether the screen itself is working or not. In any case, there may be several reasons for the malfunction. Some of them should be looked for in a software failure, others indicate the presence of mechanical damage and require a change in hardware. First, you need to observe the operation of the device and try to identify the reasons.

Main causes of failure

The most common cause of failure is incorrect connection of the device cable to the system unit. The cable must be well connected for complete information transfer. In addition, the cord may simply bend and even break. There are cases when the cable is connected to the motherboard, but should be connected to the video card. Rarely, but such problems still occur due to inadequate network voltage.

This situation also occurs when the video adapter fails. In this case, a persistent and pungent burning smell may be observed. Most likely you will need to replace the part. It’s worth trying to remove the video card and, if possible, connect the cord to the built-in video card. If no changes occur, then you should look for another reason. If the background of the monitor menu is pink, this indicates a malfunction of the monitor lamps. This repair is done in specialized workshops. If the menu background is white and the image appears with a pink tint, then automatic calibration is necessary.

IMPORTANT! In older CRT monitors, the likely cause of the malfunction was the gun (picture tube). Color amplifiers also often failed.

How to get rid of the problem yourself

In most cases, this problem can be dealt with on your own. Let's look at the main measures that can improve screen quality:

• Checking the cable connection. To do this, it is recommended to double-check the connection by connecting and turning off the device several times. You can also simply tug or move the cable from side to side. Moreover, the cable should be checked both from the monitor side and from the system unit side.
• Change the cable if a physical defect is detected.
• Many devices have a special DEGAUSS (demagnetization) button on the panel. You should click on it once.
• In some cases, calibrating the monitor helps. You can adjust the color to suit your taste and save the result. It may be necessary to reduce the shade of red. This method is only relevant if the monitor has a slightly pinkish tint.
• Go to your monitor settings and check the frame refresh rate. It may automatically decrease, causing the screen to appear pink. In this case, it is advisable to increase the frame refresh rate.

REFERENCE! When checking the cable for integrity and quality contact, the computer should be disconnected from the network.

If the proposed solutions did not help to cope with the problem, then perhaps the cause of the breakdown is much more serious. In this case, you should contact a professional technician.

Thus, the pink screen problem is quite common. Almost every user experiences unstable monitor operation. You can find a way out of this situation by using the simple recommendations from this article.
