Satellite A200 - Screen has a pink tint

Over the past few months my screen has developed a pink tint...
I'm wondering if it will get any worse - and whether it can be repaired?
Any info would be much appreciated, cheers

Hi
Possibly its display malfunction.
In such case only a part replacement could help you.
You can also connect an external monitor to this notebook and could check if this would be noticeable on the 2nd monitor too.
If external monitor would be affected, then the issue is related to graphic chip.

Macbook Pro Display has a pink tint to it

Ever since I upgrade to 10.6 my display has been wiggin out on me. Half the screen usually has this pink tint to it. Sometimes it's only 2-3 inches across but goes to the top and bottom. Don't know what's going on with my display. Is it due to heat? Cause my laptop still gets freaking hot. I have done a hardware test and passed. When I connect it to another display, it doesn't show up on the other monitor. I can grab the top of the monitor and by pressing gently I can make it go away, but as soon as I release it goes back. I used to be able to press on it and it would go away for awhile. Any suggestions?

I am encountering the same problem with my MBP. I was wondering if you have any updated information on what you have found out?

Screen has a yellow tint?

When you tilt the classic's screen towards an angle (tilted towards the top right corner and the bottom left corner) at a white background, the whole screen has a yellow tint. Is this normal?
Thanks.

Yes, I believe it is. LCD screens are meant to be looked at straight on to get true color and brightness.

My iPad screen has a red tint

My iPad screen has a red tint, anything I can do to fix this?

I'm not the greatest when it comes to taking care of my iPad, that being said. I've dropped it a few times. I've had this issue, it can be easily fixed by holding down the home button and power button for at least 30sec. If this doesn't work then repeat. This has worked for me in the past and my iPad works just fine. By doing this your resetting the LCD. Hope this helps!

HELP! Two new HTC Thunderbolts & one screen has a purple tint!

So I just bought two HTC Thunderbolts, got them all set up and then realized that one has a purple tint! I compared all the settings to the other phone and everything matched.
The color was like this before any 3rd party applications were downloaded & the phone is not rooted or altered in any way.
I've googled to try to find any calibration apps or if anyone else has this problem and have come out unsuccessful. I know I can always perform a hard reset but wanted to see if there is any other alternate way to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for all the feed back! Certainly is a strange issue for a brand new, out of the box phone. I did in fact perform the master reset, went through the setup process, personalized the phone & long behold, the same issue.
Again, I compared the settings to the other Thunderbolt; Identical. Tried different wallpapers, skins, themes and nothing has changed.
Went through and checked for SW update, there was a firmware update that I did start. After it was completed, same issue.
I'm at a loss for what may be causing this. I mean, it is bothersome that EVERYTHING on the screen has a purple tint...
I'm not 100% sure that this is a "warranty" issue? Maybe it's something AraceliT_VZW can answer for me?
Thanks for all the help!

Screen has a bluish tint after fast user switching and then warning tone

Hi all I'm having a bit of a problem that I hope someone can help me with. First the details, I have a MBP bought in late '07 and running Tiger. I was doing full backups using "Backup" and I also had Safari, iTunes, and Word open. I briefly switched to my other account using fast user switching and when I returned to the original account the whole screen had a blue tint to it. Like the color profile was off. This has happened before and a restart usually cures it, I haven't restarted yet but I am fairly certain it will correct the problem this time too. But is there anyway to prevent this? My second question is the one I'm more worried about. It also has happened before but usually when using more CPU intensive applications. When I went to System Preferences and opened up the display preferences in an attempt to correct the previous problem I heard a very loud tone. Like some type of warning tone, it was loud enough that it startled me. I had iTunes playing and after the tone the music got very quiet but relaunching it brought it back to normal. I'm just wondering is this some type of warning tone? Is it something I should be concerned about? Besides the music everything else seemed unaffected, although the previous times that this has happened usually when using handbrake there was noticeable problems after the tone (like applications crashing). All of these problems are gone after the computer is restarted though. Does anyone have any insight on these issues? Thank you.

OK I ran TechTool and everything passed except for the volume scan. Then I checked this with Disk Utility and the HD failed for a few minor reasons, like invalid block count. I repaired it using the fsck -fy command in single user mode. The computer seems a little faster now. I don't know if this error is related to the beep in any way, I may try talking to an Apple genius to see if they know. Since it seems like pretty minor errors I'm not too worried about it but it does seem to be happening often. The last time I had this error was when I posted a question here about it which I just checked was on March 1st. So this error happened again after a little more than 2 weeks which seems excessive to me. Any thoughts?

Satellite A200 screen stays black when trying to boot

Hello everyone,
My Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook is not working anymore, so everything started when I was playing a game, suddenly, the screen turned blue with some tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button a few seconds to close it because nothing was happening on the computer. I then pressed the power button to open it. Everthing was going well, until the welcome screen. At this part, it was written "Welcome" but the Vista loading circle left of it wasn't turning.
After a few seconds, I decided to close the computer again, so I did hold the power button so the computer closed. Here is the problem : I tried to reopen it, but the screen stayed black. Nothing was happening. The power light was blue, but not any computer activity. So I let it like that a few minutes then closed it and tried again, but the same thing happened. I tried to disassemble it and noticed one of the two memory card wasn't fully in its slot. I fixed it, but it didn't fix the problem.
I also tried to plug another screen on it, but that one was also black. So I put back the screen on its computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. It was booting, but the first problem came back, the Welcome screen was frooze there. So yes I did close it again and then the same thing happened, the screen stayed black.
I don't think the problem is the screen because as I said sometime it goes to the welcome screen. Also I don't hear any welcome sound when the screen stays black as if the computer would simply not start up. And as I said earlier, I don't see any computer activity on the little light in front of the computer. And left of this one, I clearly see that the computer is ON because the power light is blue.
So this is my problem, next time the computer manages to start up I'll try to boot it on the SAFE MODE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.
Thanks in advance,
MrRoy
EDIT :
After letting the computer turned off for about 30 minutes, I started it, and booted in safe mode. At this step, I securely closed my comptuer with the shut down button instead on holding the power button. Then I reopened my computer, and it booted and the problem was fixed. Now my notebook is openened and working.
So if this is happening to you :
1. Shut down you computer.
2. Wait for about 30 minutes.
3. Boot in safe mode
4. Shut it down using the shut down button istead off holding the power button.
That should work.

Finally, it doesn't work. I don't know why but my computer did start up after the 30 minutes, but now it's not working anymore. It just won't startup like I said later, with a black screen.
The computer did work for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start it up but after executing a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart it. I did it about 3 or 4 times, then it simply did the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe it's damaged or something, could it be possible?
Because I see that the processor isn't working when I try to start it up.
So let's say it's damaged, would that be the symptoms of my computer?
And if it's the processor, the only way to fix it is to send it to a reparator or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.
But right now, my computer is simply not booting, like I said in my previous post.
Thanks in advance,
MrRoy
Note : The edit button wasn't there so I had to double post :/

Screen has a pink hue?

Basics first. iMac G4 running OS 10.3.9
Asking this for my dad so hopefully passing on right info.
He had shut down the computer everything running fine. On reboot everything starts up fine, no problems except that the screen now has a pink hue to it. Icons, text, background, everything. It is usable but hard on the eyes. I gave him what I thought was the command to zap the video ram but it didn't work. Suggestions?

Not good!....

My 2013 15" retina macbook pro screen has a yellow tint, should i ask for a replacement?

So yesterday i got my retina macbook pro 15 " and right away i noticed my worst fear ( since i previously had read some similar stories) my screen has a noticeable yellow tint specially on white tones, websites have a "newspaper look " to them, since i bought this computer because im starting web design in university in a couple of months i would say i'm pretty much ******, people say i shoud just calibrate it, but most people dont calibrate their screen, so it would be a mess, my work would look good on my computer but ****** on other's people computer
I'm very surprised because i thought this issue only affected the initial batch of retina macbook pros, but i checked my serial online and my computer was made in January 2013 so its quite new, the panel is a Samsung "LSN154YL01001.
I have read that usually LG panels don't suffer as much from the yellow tint but they suffered from Image retention, is it stil like this? what do you think i should do should i keep this computer with the samsung screen or get apple to give me a new one hopefully with a LG panel or at least a samsung without yellow tint

Actually MOST People that work in all parts of the Design field DO Calibrate their screens. It is the only way to make sure what you are looking at on your computer screen will be the same on other design professionals screens and to the general public.
Wherever you got the notion that Design professionals and or design schools of all types don't calibrate their screens is completely incorrect.
So it is up to you whether you calibrate or not and or to return that Retina for one that has a better color balanced screen from the start. Along with that the new unit you get may have other problems as the Retina models are plagued with random problems. The screens only be one of them.

Screen has purple/pink lines and blue square whenever I plug in usb or ac adapter

Hi all,
I recently bought a macbook (white) at the end of last year. However, recently I've had a problem where if I plug in something to the usb (like an external hdd) or the ac adapter to charge, my screen gets purple/pink lines and a blue square. A screenshot of what I see is linked below. Any input for solving this problem would be appreciated.

Yeah - the monitor was faulty...
Thanks to everyone that responded to the several posts.

My Mac Mini screen has a blue tint

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.

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.

Satellite A200: Modem has an error 633: already in use or is not configured properly

My notebook is A200-FE0.
When I tried to make a dial-up connection, there is an error window says:
"Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is
not configured properly".
When I test my modem by clicking query modem on the Diagnostics tab in the modems tool in
Control Panel, the modem responds normally and appear to be working
correctly.
When I test my modem by using the Toshiba diagnostic tools, it shows "pass" and I canhear the dail tone too.
I tired to uinstall and reinstall the driver twice.
But I just can't make a dial-up connection and keep getting the error 633. I am really upset about it.
Please help me! Thank you a lot!

Thanks for the hint.
I tried this method too. I am using windows vista home premium. I can't find the files named telephon.ini and tapiini.exe in my computer.
I noticed that this method is only for windows 98 and windows ME.

Re: Satellite A200-1K7 - Doesn't boot with 4GB RAM

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade to 4GB of RAM. According to the manual my Satellite A200 1k7 does support up to 4GB of ram.
However, if I place two 2GB modules the computer won't turn on. Either one of the 2GB modules on it's own works fine but the two of them together won't work.
The power light turns on, the harddisk whirs and then goes quiet. Nothing happens, not even a BIOS screen.
My BIOS is up to date. I am using windows Vista 32 bits.
The memory modules I use are both SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667 Mhz.
Please help!

Im not sure but as far as I know the Satellite A200-1K7 has an Intel 943GML chipset that supports 2GB max.
So you should check which chipset you have. For this you can use PC Wizard 2008 (http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php).
If you have an other chipset I think the modules are not compatible and so you need other modules.
