Pink screen

I have a pink screen after bumping my pb . this has happened in the past and i found that if I push on the back of the screen it seems ro reseat a connector and everything is fine, until this last time (today). Now I can't seem to find the magic touch so I want to open up the lcd and reseat the connector. Anyone know how to get in there? I see no screws or such ..... and yes, by now my machine is out of warranty ...... (like most of us). I can still work enough to get online here, and I did take a pic to show and will look to see if there's a way of posting here, or I'll just stick it on my website (which might be faster). So How do I get into this display? Any manuals for this? thanks ...... dennis

and here's a bit more info and a few helpfull links:

because now my plain jane white apple is green with stripes ......

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

B&W G3 - Pink Screen After Bootup?

My wife uses a B&W G3, OS 9.2.2. Motherboard Rev. B. Recently, the computer either:
-- boots normally, but after a short interval, perhaps as long as 10 minutes, the monitor goes pink. Solid pink like a sheet of construction paper. Monitor is an LCD screen.
-- tries to boot but never does, going directly to the pink screen.
Zapping the PRAM (multiple tries) did not rectify the problem. Replacing the PRAM battery did not rectify the problem.
Resources found on the web seem to indicate that this is a battery issue, but I could not readily find any description of a similar problem.
Hints appreciated ...

There has been a history, in multiple brands of displays, of a problem with resistors in the Red, Green, or Blue input signals getting hotter than anticipated, squirming around, and making intermittent contact.
In the "good old days" these large-ish resistors were axial-lead components that were inserted through plated holes in the board and wave-soldered from below. They never came loose or had problems. More recently, in the move to all surface-mount components, they are now bar-shaped with contacts near the end. Too much heat and their solder joints can fracture.
Conventional wisdom for CRT displays was that to get to the resistors, you had to expose your self to potentially lethal voltages (upwards of 40,000 Volts) that could linger for months after the power was off. The voltages inside a flat panel display can reach few hundred volts, but there is no tube to act as a charge-storage device.

Pink Screen with 17" ADC and DVI converter

This issue could be with the Apple ADC to DVI convertor box or cable, but I can't confirm if it is that or my monitor. I am using a 17" clear ACD with a mac mini, and I started to get intermittant bright pink screens, which has progressed into pink all the time, and a horizontally squashed screen that shows the desktop twice (one on top of the other, both squashed).
I am pretty sure that the cable coming out of the convertor box is the culprit, since I was able to get it working normally by jiggling the cable, and it started acting up when I was plugging and unplugging some USB devices. Now it won't work properly at all, and I do not have an old computer to plug the monitor in directly to check with. I did plug the monitor and convertor into a G5 PowerMac, and had the same result. When I plugged in a newer 20" Apple aluminum display into the Mini, it worked fine.
The trouble is that all of the cables on the monitor and convertors are built in and not easily replaced.
Any suggestions?

I bought a new ADC/DVI converter ($99) and that fixed it. I am almost positive it was only the cable.
My question is: why can't Apple PLEASE make these convertor boxes AND their monitors with removable/replaceable cables?
I ended up spending 10 times what I should have to fix the issue. it should have never broken in the first place, since it rarely even ever got touched, and had never been disconnected.
Just for grins, after I bought the new converter, I tried to open the old one to see if I could remove the cable. I could not even get the box open without destroying it.
My 20" Cinema Display has a dead bug inside it, and it is also impossible to open up without destroying it, just to clean it.
I just have to express my displeasure at Apple making their products non-servicable. What a waste.

2014 Mac Mini shows pink screen when waking

I have a 2014 3Ghz i7 mac mini which I have attempted to connect two different Asus monitors via two different HDMI cables in multiple configurations. Regardless of the connection combination when the mac awakes from sleep or from the screensaver (to show the login screen) the screen shows up as bright pink and I can barely make out the password box.
Turning off the monitor and turning it back on corrects the problem as does waiting about 10 seconds for the monitor to go out of sync and return. After this time the issue goes away until the computer sleeps or I enter the sleep saver again and have to re-login.
Is anyone else encountering this?
PRAM and SMC have been reset already.

I don’t know if this solves the pink screen problem, whatever it is. I’m not a techie so this is all I can offer.
I got my Mini end of December and the pink screen problem just started now. I had no pink screen until I went to change the Sleep / Wake settings. Then I started getting the pink screen with desktop barely showing through. So think when / if you changed your settings from the default. Maybe your problem started after that.
Returning settings to default doesn't fix it. I also tried to check / uncheck different sleep / wake settings, but didn't work either.
I have the latest Mac Mini 3 GHz
Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM Yosemite 10.10.2.
External ASUS PA248 monitor via HDMI.
I know everyone has different set-ups with slight variations in the problem, but maybe this will help some people. It seem to have worked to solve the pink from appearing, but I don’t think it has solved he actual problem. At least if I have to go to my computer every half hour, I don’t have to wear out my monitor button by having to turn it on all the time just to get rid of the pink screen.
I know people want their Mini to sleep but for these instructions your Mini will have to remain awake all the time.
This is my monitor set up.
Screen saver set to go on in 10 minutes.
Monitor shuts off in 15 minutes.
The Mini stays on all the time, no sleep or wake cycles.
1. Go to ENERGY SAVINGS
2. The only thing I have checked is, “Prevent the computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off. Leave the rest unchecked".
3. Then go to SCHEDULE Uncheck these,
START UP OR WAKE and SLEEP settings.
Hit OK
Exit ENERGY SAVINGS.
Let your monitor turn off, come back later. Sit down and re-try to to turn on your desktop. DON'T click away on your mouse or move it back and forth furiously like you want your desktop to load RIGHT NOW. Well I did that and the system didn't like that and the pink was back. It seems the system needs a few seconds to load up the desktop. Click the mouse button once, or move the mouse a a TINY bit. Wait a bit and the desktop should appear WITH NO PINK SCREEN, hopefully.
Hope this helps.

I was updating my ipod and i lost wifi, so i turned off my ipod, and when i tried to turn it on it went to the normal apple logo then flashed and went to a pink screen. Ive tried restoring it, but it hasnt worked. PLEASE HELP

So i was updating my ipod earlier yesterday, i kinda steal wifi from the neighbors so it was pretty weak.... i lost wifi (i think) because it stopped loading, so i turned off my ipod. And when i tried turning it on again it did the apple logo then went to a full out pink screen. Ive tried turning it back on and off a billion times, and sometimes the screen colors will change. I recently just tried restoring it like 10 times and usually itll just interenwrupt the restoring process. By the way, wh i plug it into the computer it doesnt recognize the device. I had to put it into recovery mode. Pleasehelp, this ipotd is my life. I cant take it to the apple store because its badly cracked, and ive had it for about 2 y and a half years. PLease help.

Hi-
I had the same thing happen to me Thursday night, and I just got mine right 30 minutes ago (and it is now Saturday am). Like you I repeatedly tried to restore it (by holding down the home key and powere button at the same time; then plugging it up to my computer and trying to get it to restore through iTunes). My computer didn't initially recognize my ipod either. - One thing- be sure that your battery isn't dead/dying. If it is, charge it (it should charge-mine did), then start the process of restoring it again. Make sure when you hold the home and power keys down that you are linked to iTunes.- You will eventually get a screen that has the itunes icon it, with a usb cable underneath it. At that point your computer will recognize your ipod, and you'll be able to restore it...This will take a LONG time.- Good luck.

Belle update,now pink screen

I know of the N8 pink screen problem and it only mildly affected my N8 under pr1.1,the Anna update, but after updating to the officially released Belle 609 it now suffers quite badly from the pink screen (greys are pink).
Although it does not really bother me too much I think it shows that the problem to be more software than hardware,which is why screen change repairs often don't work.
Has anybody else noticed this problem?
Also battery life is poorer and phone runs hotter,suggesting maybe a slight software overclock .
All that aside I still love my N8 and Belle.
Moderator's note: Post edited because it contained information about unofficial ways to update the device software. Doing so might void the warranty of the device, and possibly damage it. Therefore it is not allowed to discuss about unofficial update methods on Nokia Discussions forum.

Did you use a higher screen brightness setting with Anna than now with Belle?
If you did, the pink screen issue might be more noticeable.
What screen brightness setting are you using now?

On sleep show white o pink screen, most of the time error on start up win8

hi i got two compter with the same problem, both are (Satellite S855s5382)
1. On SLEEP, 1. lapotp went i close the laptop and then open it the screen turns white or some times show a pink screen
2. laptop same problem like the 1 one, but some times show the half of the screen
2. WIN8 , both has error on startup most of the time went i star it take to much to run win8 and then show an erro on start up and show 3 icons an the desktop it is defalut, i restart it and start to check up the hdd then take so much to RAPAIR IT
for the second error it is only on win8, on win7 i dont have this problem
On win7 the firs problem it is the same

a little difficult to figure out just what all your issues are but I'd suggest making an image of your system and saving to an external drive, then doing a restore back to out-of-box state and see if that fixes things. If not, post back.

HP Pavilion Elite m9065uk - Pink Screen Freeze and crash

Hi,
Hopefully someone here can help me. I have a HP Pavilion m9065uk Desktop and I am having problems and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Over the last month or so I have been having a problem with it the PC crashing, at first it started when booting up, it would get as far as the Microsoft loading bar then just a black screen and nothing. I would reboot and it would boot up fine, but then started freezing with a pink screen, then after a few minutes either go to black screen or nothing happening at all. Sometimes it starts to restart up then fails to start and startup repair comes up but sometimes fails. I changed the power supply back in March, but I dont believe if this has anything to do with it, the supply is the same as the original.
I googled the boards and it was suggested that the nvidia graphics card might be the problem. so reinstalled the drivers and then tried updating the drivers and its still the same problem. The reason I say i suspect the graphics card is that sometimes when the problem originally began I would get an error message saying that "display driver failed and recovered".
Is this a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT card? There is no Integrated graphics card on the PC when a graphics card is installed.
The PC will work for a day or 2 then the same pink screen crash occurs, now all of a sudden it wont boot up, keeps going to launch startup repair, which does not work. I can boot up to safe mode only.
Hopefully someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I dont want to have to go changing the motherboard or worse still pay for a new PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, O

Hi,
Is this HP PC the same as yours? It might be the video card or a weak power supply. Try reseating the video card and see if that makes a difference. Take a can of compress air and blow out all of the dust from CPU heat sink and the fan on the video card. See if that makes a difference.
You could try removing the video card and connect the monitor using a VGA cable to the integrated video port on the back of your PC. Hopefully your monitor has a VGA port and you have a VGA cable. The integrated video adapter is Intel so you will have to update the video driver. Look here for the update.

Pink screen during log in

I just had an upgrade to my operating system that came to me from the App Store. After downloading it, my imac 27 now has a pink screen come up while signing in. It only is a flash of pink and last a sec or less. However it isn't something that has happened in the past, and I wonder if others have seen this or had it happen to them?

Some of the display settings are stored in PRAM.

Pink screen when I switch on my mac

There is a problem after the latest update before yesterday. When I switch on my iMac, there is a pink screen before login to the desktop. Just half second then back to the normal white and grey color. I called apple care, they taught me to press shift key to login to the safe mode, however it cannot fix the problem, may I know if my iMac was damaged? Please help me, thank you.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

Pink screen and MacBook Pro won't boot

yesterday evening I did a software update (which I do regularly), this morning I had a white and pink screen. after pushing the spacebar a few times I goy a status bar saying moving data which was almost finished (5mm left) 5 hours later I still was at that point.
Afte rebooting the since I do have to work it boots to the point where I see an Apple and a spinning wheel. The wheel keeps spinning forever and it won't boot.
I tried rebooting, clearing pram, nvram etc nothing helps.
I booted with shift pressed and could chose between a number of things but on no case Internet was accessible.
Time machine only offered to reset to last Friday ERASING all my work from the past weekend and Monday.
Nothing else worked.
I don't know why an upate of wifi should ruin my day and possible my week.
I have the timemachine as last resort, but I want my macbook pro to boot decent to get to my data.
I'm now over 10 hours wasting my time and I'm at a point I might commit a crime if I would meet the delevoper of Apple who made this update.
Any suggestions?
regards
Lode

I can connect to the Macbook Pro in target mode, but it still won't boot.
there should be a way of fixing the OSX without losing data.
Somebody HELP?
