My Mac Mini screen has a blue tint

Question

I got my Mac Mini around a week ago, one equipped with intel core duo. When I originally turned it on, the screen was fine until a popup came up and said that Mini's with intel processors that a firmware update was required. I followed the instructions and did the update, and when the update was complete the computer restarted and the screen had a blue-green tint to it and has had it since. I've tried to adjust it via the color and brightness on the screen but it's not working.

Answer 1

First open the Universal Access preference pane and in the 'seeing' tab, make sure that the slider for 'enhance contrast' is all the way to the left. Next, open the Displays preference panel and click on the 'color' tab. The click the 'calibrate' button. This will take you through a color/brightness/contrast set up procedure that may eliminate the problem.
There are two options in the calibration process, standard, which is the default option and has fewer adjustment screens, and expert, which is selected by checking the box for it on the first calibration screen and offers more adjustments. You can't do any harm with either since any settings you create can be discarded, or profile(s) you save can be deleted or ignored if necessary.
This won't necessarily resolve the problem, but if not, then it would indicate that there's an issue with the hardware - possibly just the connector on the back of the system, which needs to be fastened really tightly. If you can't readily resolve this, since your system is so new, I'd then suggest you call Apple.
