"Consider a journey through time and space................"

A) Let's discuss why you performed a System Restore in the first place.

1) Screen resolution seemed to be messed up?

2) Thought you picked up a virus?

3) Will Biff from Back to the Future, ever find true love?

NO...............just wanted to see if you were following along, lol!

Suggest you go to Display Properties, and see what the Screen Resolution is.

Right-click on an empty area of your desktop screen> Left-click on Properties at the bottom of the list > Left-click on the Settings tab.

Screen resolution should be 1280 X 768
Use the slider to adjust it.

Color quality should be -> Highest (32 bit)

If you adjust either one (Or both), go to the bottom right, and click on Apply, then to the bottom left; and click on OK.

We don't physically replace the screens, we just offer advice and directions on what you can or should do

You can call 1-800-SAMSUNG to get the nearest repair shop or to order a new screen if you wish to replace it yourself.

Let me know if you need anything else

if you have a big sub right against it it needs to be moved away as the magnets can affect the big screen picture.

Hi!

Five blinks means - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.

Please rate this solution as FixYa if found useful.

Thanks

I seem to have found the solution (and the cause, perhaps?) for this problem!

I was having the EXACT same problem with a monitor I'm repairing for a friend. The capacitors on the power supply board were blown (CapXon capacitors, who'd've guessed), which was keeping it from powering up. After replacing the capacitors, the screen worked beautifully. But it had this weird yellow tint!

The strange part was that pure colors - red, green, blue - all appeared perfectly OK on screen. Curiously, the menus would show in the proper colors, except for one: the manual color adjustment menu, which illustrated "Blue" as a sort of off-green in the icon. Auto-Adjust would always fix the colors for a split second, then go back to yellow. Reset didn't fix it. Color reset didn't either. So, exactly the same problem as above.

The solution I found was hidden within the main menu itself, a sort of "easter egg". <b>Hold the Menu button down while pressing Power, and hold it down until the screen, and menu, appear</b>. There will now be a hidden selection, "Auto Color", printed in a red-on-black font at the bottom of the menu. Use the +/- buttons to access it, and press Menu. Voila! PERFECT COLOR! Perhaps this menu was accessed by accident, and calibrated to an incorrect color key. But now my picture works great, and the setting lasts through Auto-Adjusts and Resets!

Hope this helps some people, it sure saved my ****! ;)

use the advanced options page and reset the factor blue and red convergence defaults then do re apply the auto color defaults color at first it seemed very red (which is good because red was the missing factor in the green picture) but after reseting all the color and tints to the normal ranges I then reset the color auto correct again and all seems fine.

The Auto Adjustment works only with VGA. DVI doesnt need it since its digital quality so many features wont work with DVI but I think color adjustment and things like that will.

Its normal, I have this monitor.

the electronic viewfinder on almost all digital cameras if even they got one is a tiny resolution screen or a mirror reflecting the bigger or smaller lcd screen. switch to your Lcd screen and see if colors are ok or still pink, also look at pictures you have taken. if ok the problem soly lies on the viewfinder which I have many cameras like it and come to think of it they looked aliittle pink too. the view finder helps you only in sunny conditions that you cant see your regular Lcd screen. and should be able to give you a good idea of what you are shooting. pink in real digital colors means you lost some green . look through your menu and see if there is an adjustment for it if not and you cant live with it return for exchange. I looked up the specs and would love this camera. good luck

Hi This may help you :: Select , Settings, System tab, Align Screen to adjust the touch screen. If the screen alignment loses calibration it may not be possible to adjust alignment using the above method. Also, here is a link that may help :: http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--cdgenp01csdtoshibacom-content-support-manuals-userguides-su530093-ppce400ug20030916pdf&sliceId=pdfPage_113&dialogID=6730022&stateId=1%200%206728267

my 740 had also problems with loosing the USB connection. I gave it to my dealer and he told me that the USB connector was defective...
