Monitor/tv output with a pink haze - Help

It may be a driver. Go to: http://support.toshiba.com/drivers
and input your model or serial number. The applicable drivers will be displayed for your laptop.

Fn + F5 toggles the display output.....but when you run a projector or other device, the backlight shuts off and to turn it back on, the combination is Fn + F6.

laurie515, Gee, I hope it's a 'pretty pink' colour. Do you really mean that What was once WHITE or VERY Lite GRAY is now appearing pink??? Laurie515 you must tell us more. How old is this unit? 4-6 yrs? I suspect that the "Cold-Cathode-Fluorescent-Tubes" that are hanging on the rear of the LCD glass panel and provide white light, have over time, now become tired out. YOU WILL NOT FIX IT!! IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. Here are some options. 1. Trade in for new if yours is >4yrs old. 2. Check for swapout program with ACER? This is only a dim Maybe thing. You send them yours +$50-$100 and they return a refurbished unit. 3. Find local TV/Monitor Repair shop that knows all about LCD monitor repair. there are also guys on fixya that do LCD refurbishing (new ccf tubes/inverter/smps) Do some web searches on LCD monitor failures and also visit youtube for vid clips of monitor disassembly if you want to see the insides of a typical LCD monitor.
Bye for now. I'm louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel@ aol.com

Hello, you can try this... Connect your laptop with an desktop monitor throughVGA cable.... then Click on start>> goto control panel>> Double click on Power Option>> Under Power Scheme it should be Poratble /Laptop >> Select Never under System Standbye, Trun off Monitor and Turn off Hard Disk.

Thank you for contacting Fixya support, please rate if that helps!!

Have you used the Fn button on your laptop and changed the video display Icon on the Blue Function keys. You need to change the display wait a few seconds for it to take affect. There are several modes try them all so you know how to use them.

The problem is CCFL light bulb in the screen. It is starting to die :( Can be replaced but that is not an easy task (easier is to replace screen as new bulb comes with it)

First, to verify if it is your display adapter, connect an external monitor to your laptop and see if it displays fine. If it is fine on the monitor, then we know that it is from your laptop screen(in this case, it is either you first check from a technician if it is the colour that has to be refilled or if you need to purchase a new screen). If not then it is from your display adapter(could be from corrupt display drivers). In this case, you would have to re-install new drivers for your display adapter(you can download it from your system manufacturer's website if you don't already have it).
Thanks

I had the same problem but the white color became cyan.
I "solved" the problem hiting the back of the monitor. I think that is a problem of contacts between the signal of the monitor and the pc.
I have an acer 5610z.

Please try loading monitor specific drivers.Many of the time the monitor is recognised as "Plug and Play Monitor".
