Apple 21in Studio Display turned green (help)...

[Vince34]

Hay Guys:


Got a questions on a weird thing with my 21 inch stuidio Display, its a graphite model with a 4 port USB hub built in it. I was away for a weekend, and when i came back and turned on my mac the screen turned green on me. Well i thought it burned out on me, then i turned off the G4 and monitor. Unpluged everything for about 20min. Turned it all back on and was fine. Then after a few min it turned green again. So i decided to Calibrate my monitor. Calibrate crashed 3 times on me, it said calibrate failed. So i tried one more time and it worked. Now the screen was bright as hell, and i mean bright. So i turned everything off again, restarted and recalibrated it. And all is back to normal as i never left it last week. As far as i know there was no power outages and no one else uses my G4.

Is this a sign of the screen going?

Or just a fluke?

Never happened before with my old G4 450 with ATI 8500.


My screen is set at

1792x1344 60hz -- Millions
ATi 9000 video card


Any thoughts or ideas that it my be burning out on me or just some sort of fluke would help me out.

Thanks.

I think all ColorSync's were jinxed, probably just its way of letting you know that the warranty expired yesterday

Open Firmware reset, and there is also an "AV" command + option (in 9.x anyway) midway through startup to clear nvram held in the monitor. Search Apple KB for the article.
