Washed out PINK screen

Nearly everytime I turn on my TV and fios DVR the screen is washed out in a red / purple / pink color.  I have to reboot the STB every day.  I called support and they did a remote firmware download but it has not fixed the problem.
A reboot always fixes it but is there a more permanent fix?
The support website does not seem to be working for me today either so can someone post the technical support phone number please too.
Thanks
Andy

In my situation using an HDMI connection to watch an HD channel the picture goes to purple when a local non-HD commercial comes on.  The HDMI signal from the DVR seems to get confused and shorts out when being forced to translate an HD picture one moment and then to a non-HD small format commercial in the next moment.  The only way to correct it is to power down my receiver or DVR and power up again.  I am forced to do that 10 times an hour in some cases.  I ahve tried a new DVR, new HDMI cable, new receiver and nothing changes.  I do not know if it is a unique problem to FIOS or what.  Any ideas?

  • Has anyone else noticed that colors are washed out on screen on the white iPhone?

    Comparing the white and black iPhone 4 side by side, I noticed that colors on the screen are washed out on the white iPhone. This is clearly noticable when clicking on messages and looking at the top where the word messages appears in blue/gray color. When looking at this on the white iPhone, its more white than blue/gray.

    It could be just the contrast in color with your eyes looking at the white iphone vs the black one. Your eyes can sometimes play tricks on you. But in all seriousness, iPhone screens vary in color temperatures. I have seen two black iphones 4s that looked like they had different displays in them.

  • MBP and LED Cinema Display Color Washed Out After Screen Saver

    When coming out of screen saver, often the color profile on either my LED Cinema Display or the MBP LCD is messed up. The color looks washed out. Simply going to the Color tab in the Displays preference pane fixes this.
    How do I get this to stop?
    Thanks,
    Bobby

    My 13" MBP has now started to do the same thing as described. The thing is, it has never done this since I bought it in late July 2009. I have iWork installed, Firefox, Skype, and Pixelmator. I may have a clue, however, for the Apple people: my MBP never did this until last night and this morning. The only thing I changed yesterday was removing the 2 gig of memory and installing 4 gig. I also tried the translation widget for the first time.

  • 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.

  • MacBook Pro starts off in blue washed out tint then goes to grey screen

    So I took out the stock HDD and replace it with a SSD and the laptop with working better then ever. Then later on at night I used the thunderbolt plug to connect it to a TV. After about 5 min the computer froze so I restarted it. But now when it reboots the screen has a blue washed out look. It won't open into OS X, instead the apple logo comes then the screen turns into a solid grey. It recognizes the SSD when I hold option but won't open it up. So I put the HDD back in and it does the same thing. 
    My MacBook Pro is an early 2011 15 inch with anti glare display
    I'm pretty sure it was running on Mountain Lion because I didn't get a chance to upgrade to Mavericks yet.
    The SSD is a 960 Crucial SSD.
    I am past warranty with Apple Care so is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • 17" Imac core 2 duo cheap one washed out screen

    Just got the $999 imac. The screen looks somewhat washed out. I have it next to my macbook which is hooked up to a Dell external monitor and the icons and everythgin looks much more washed out then on the dell monitor.
    Is there a way to chage the color. The color is more vivid on the dell. and the shadows etc are darker.

    Go to system preferences, select displays, select color, and try another profile.

  • How come start up screen colors look washed out.

    Hi,
    I tried to change the background for the login startup screen on my iMac.  I noticed that the colors from my image appears faded. 
    When I look at the image in other origram(ie. preview) the colors are what they should be.
    So what is OS X(Lion) doing to cause the colrs to look this  way?  And is there a way to fix it?
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
    ...Bruce

    I had this problem with my R705 too.  It has to do with one of the bloatware that is already installed from the factory.  The reason that I say this is because after I put in a ssd and did a clean install without any of the bloatware, I don't get the washed out screen effect anymore.  Now which one of the bloatware is responsible for this, i couldn't tell you.

  • Washed out iPhone 5 screen

    This happens when I try and unlock my screen.Occasionally, the screen will be very faded looking. Not bright like an autobright overadjustment, just unsaturated and hazy. Washed out and cloudy, it often dissipates slowly over about 30 seconds to a minute after seeing it or even after locking and unlocking the screen several times. It eventually goes back to normal, but it's something that I definitely notice happening.
    Has anyone else seen this? I tried taking a screen shot of this but the picture was clear when the screen was clear.

    Worth noting that the i5 has an ambient light sensor next to the front side camera. It briefly samples the environment when it wakes up and adjusts the screen accordingly. If something is blocking the sensor at that time, the phone will think it is in a dark room and barely light up the display. Once the adjustment is made, no further changes occur, so it will remain dim till next unlock.

  • "Washed out" screen after waking from sleep?

    Over the past couple of months, when either waking from sleep or coming off the screen saver, the display has a washed out look to it. The colors can be restored by either reinitializing the screen saver or putting the computer to sleep and waking it back up again. I tried the PRAM and PMU resets with no success. The problem seems to be getting worse. (more frequent) Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

    hey, just adding my story to yours cause it seems to be a similar issue.
    Every now and the when My MBP wakes from sleep or screensaver, the screen seems to lose its calibration, it gets all blueish. When I go to Display preferences to see what's there, the computer sort of recovers from the flaw and loads proper colors. I can almost her it say Oh yeah, color calibration!..

  • Screen or backlight problem - washed-out colors, fuzzy white overlay

    I've had my iPod for quite a long time now and have been living with this problem for at least a year. Some times, when I start using the iPod, the screen gets all washed-out with a fuzzy white overlay. It looks fine when the backlight turns off from not touching it, so I think the problem might be with the backlight. If I completely recharge the iPod, letting it fully turn off, the screen will usually come back to clarity. Also, if I leave it in the refrigerator for a while, that too will often solve the problem.
    The fuzziness usually happens after having the iPod go to sleep - either from me pressing and holding the pause button, or from the songs being stopped or paused and the iPod not being used for a time. I don't recall, but it might also happen when playing if it's been playing for a fair time and the backlight has been off. It seems like, if the iPod goes into sleep mode when it is warm - room temperature or greater seems to do it - it's fuzzy the next time I start using it. Having it fix itself from being outside in the cold, in the refrigerator or in the basement seems to suggest it as being a heat-related problem.
    So, what part do you think is causing this problem? A light? The screen? A chip or connection somewhere?
    Are there others out there with this problem? It's rather upsetting, as I like to watch videos and play games on it but I can't rely on it having a clear screen.

    All the things that my iPod has been through (in no particular order):
    - Age; I've had the iPod pretty much since they came out
    - Manufacturing problem or Firmware update bugs; I've survived a multitude of problems in the past (seemingly bricked being stuck in a loop of trying to turn on, the videos don't play video or sound problem, the not-recognised-by-iTunes problem, not being recognised by the iPod updater)
    - Slight bending and pressure from by carrying it in my pants pockets (front and back) on occasion over the years
    - Damage from being dropped on occasion
    - Possible damage from being used in a hot, smokey environment for months
    - Being exposed to heat or static from fuzzy jacket pockets
    - Being exposed to heat from my waterbed
    - Being exposed to cold over some very cold winter days
    - Pressure and scratching from a plastic shell I bought to protect it, which turned out to be a very bad idea as it caused many scratches to the screen and may have been too tight as the lcd was showing distortion with it on
    - Probably got some water on it a few times
    Thinking back to when I first had this problem, the causes may be one of:
    - Possible damage from being used in a hot, smokey environment for months
    - Being exposed to heat or static from fuzzy jacket pockets
    - Being exposed to cold over some very cold winter days
    - Probably got some water on it a few times
    - Age; I've had the iPod pretty much since they came out

  • My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker, like a colour burn but also a bit washed out. Can anyone advise what may be wrong before I take it for repair?

    My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker all of a sudden. It's almost like a colour Burn and it's also washed out. Can anyone advise what the problem may be before I take it for repair?

    Check the settings in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display.
    It's possible to alter some of those settings accidently by hitting the wrong key combinations.

  • Why does the screen "wash out" with the statement "Firefox is not responding" This happens at least once in each session.

    I am not sure what more details I can provide. Suddenly, the cursor for the mouse will freeze, the screen washes out. You can still see the underlying webpage faintly. After a few seconds, the problem corrects itself and Firefox resumes normal operation. This happens with the new Firefox 4 as well as the previous version.
    It is major annoyance.

    My situation got worse. FF 3.6.12 started doing that; then it just stopped loading. Since then, I have uninstalled & reinstalled, moved my profile to force it to make new one, set it so that it is not the default browser, installed in different drive on computer, cleaned out regedit, ran a spyware program, & nothing. It starts to load then hangs up almost immediately. This has been going on for about 3 days & I'm about ready to chunk it. Any ideas?

  • IMac 20" vs iMac 24" : screen WASHED OUT on 20"

    I went to two Apple stores and I noticed that the new Aluminum iMac 20" SCREEN CONTRAST is set different from the 24".
    I tried using two side by side 20" and 24" and I set the screen settings the same. But not matter what I did the contrast on the 20" was pretty bad. 24" was normal but the 20" was Washed out (when viewing photos, there's no detail in the highlight areas).
    Anyone else notice this? Or it just me? I foun this at two stores I went to.

    GREAT! I thought I'd read all of the down sides to the new 20" iMacs. How'd I miss this? Well, I knew that with the minor CUP speed bump made to the new iMacs and no "Extreme" option on the 20" I was about to take a beating down the road here...very shortly. That "shortly" is already NOW, I guess. My 20" screen was washed out using the iMac's display color setting, so I went into Preferences/Display/Color and played with the RGB profile settings. This helped a lot, but it made me wonder why Apple would have let it be shipped with their poor "iMac" color profile. Geez, I hope changing the setting, making the screen colors pop, won't burn out this monitor!!! GULP!!! If only our old Mac G4 tower hadn't died a few months back, we'd been waiting so long already and a 20" monitor looked big enough to us.
    BTW, where are all of my Apple Loops in the preinstalled iLife '08 GarageBand? I just got this iMac yesterday. Time to do more digging!
