Computer shades screen pink...

[Mendonsy]

Lenovo typically has their stuff designed to fail exactly five minutes after the warranty expires!

Lol, i imagine it only had a one year warranty. I should also say i have been running win 10 since it came out.

If the problem is affected by rotating the screen, then it would be the display cable. Could also try pinching the screen frame around the edges and see if that has an effect. That is normally where the cable attaches, and sometimes the connector loosens up.

They use a ribbon type cable for laptop screens -- connects inside the base, then wraps around the hinge (sometimes 2 wraps) and then runs up into the screen. The cable can get pinched, it can break, etc...

If the second display turns pink when you hook it up via HDMI then you know it is not the laptop display. Unfortunately most laptops do not have a discreet video card than can be replaced

As someone mentioned, if its a laptop, with the laptop on and a picture on the display, hold the base down and open and almost close the screen fully open and fully closed several times. If it flickers between normal and pink while you are opening and closing it, there's a good chance its a ribbon cable failing.

Another good option is to get the specific make and model of the machine and search Youtube for "replace monitor lenova laptop xxxxxxx" where xxxxxxx is the model of the laptop. There's a good chance someone has posted a video of how to replace that monitor. Its kinda amazing how many techno-geeks video these repairs and are kind enough to share them.

My computer is shading the whole screen pink, sometimes it flashes a shade of pink for a fraction of a second, and other times it turns pink, and the only way to revert it by shutting it off. it was purchased just over a year ago so i would assume out of warranty... it is doing this as i am typing this, anyone have any ideas what to do to solve it?w

Don't assume it is out of warranty. My kid's computer is having problems, most likely because of the way the laptop has been bounced around, but it is still under warranty. :thumbsup: It is a Lenovo and we got a three year warranty at no extra cost when we bought it. Our Lenovo's at work and home last quite a bit of time, with one exception. Anywho, I would make sure you are actually out of warranty.

Later,

Have the same issue, but darker colored than pink. I hooked the HDMI to the TV and it was perfect on the TV. I took it apart a little and the ribbon is fine. I need new display.

Well, I havent had the pink screen issue in over a week, however i have been having having an issue when watching videos, Which is (fullscreen or partial screen) The computer pixelates part of a video, usually in the top part of the video green, and sometimes it shades that pixelated area purple or pink....

Thanks everyone who has inputted on this thread, however the whole display seems to have pooped out on the computer of subject. I plan on taking the computer to the Doc this weekend. :doctor:

I had a similar problem awhile back with my monitor's display.

Fortunately it came back around and is still usable but it doesn't render colours quite right. I have my fingers crossed though...it's on borrowed time.
