Question about HP Compaq iPAQ MP4800 Multimedia Projector

Greenish display My MP4800 has a greenish tint to the display no matter what is being projected. I tried all the different connections, S-video, DMI to VGA, VGA to VGA and tried to different VGA cables. I also went into the Color options & tried to tweak those at no success. The lamp has been replaced as well. I'm out of options. Can you help?

Had the same problem. Opened the cover and find out that when I press the part above the lump the display become normal. Some loosed connector was my first thought. But, after a while looking and pressing around found out that the cover of the lamp was not placed properly and one corner side of the lamp cover was displaced. Opened it, returned it back to fit properly and the green display is gone. Hope that will not appear again and that is the same "problem" with yours.

Tip

My TV picture has a greenish tint.

The first thing to check is the cables connected at the back of the TV.

Check cable connection, and try using a different cable, video signal is often coded in separate colors signal, and a bad cable can cause a green picture when red or magenta (depending on type of signal) are out.

A faulty receiver or DVD player can also send a bad output. Try connecting different devices to TV.

If the cables and receiver are OK there are also internal faults that can cause the same effect.
The fault depends mainly on the model and type of the TV set.

On all TVs a faulty input/output can cause greenish picture.

On all digital TVs the signal is also elaborated on different color channels . Video circuits are often located on digital board.
A fault on digital video processing can cause a green picture.

If you have a rear projection CRT based technology, one of the three CRT may be faulty, or the power board supplying the CRT (red in your case) may have blown.
In that case you will get a greenish picture.

If instead you have a CRT TV, a greenish picture means that the red gun inside the cathode ray tube is not working. The CRT itself must be replaced.

Generally, when the problem is not the video cable , or the connected device, the TV must be inspected and repaired by a technician.

If you have a new digital TV, as an LCD, Plasma, or any non CRT based technology, the problem is usually caused by cables, input output, or connected devices.

Check the cables thoroughly, if that is not the problem, call manufacturer to find the nearest repair service location.

Color is a problem. Screen picture has greenish

well it seems you have an issue with one of your video boards, it could be that the Analog Video Board (the one with the inputs and outputs) is partially damaged, but it can also be your Digital Video Board, which is the one that projects the image

Greenish yellowish tint on the tv

I have been advised that the color/light engine of the TV fails often and will typically create a green tint on this unit. I have one on order to get a replacement installed. BTW, it is not "user serviceable" and (for me) will require moving the TV to the repair shop for the change-out.
