Optiquest q19wb green tint

[farnswerth]

Hi, I have an optiquest q19wb with a green tint on the screen. I walked out of the room for 3 or 4 minutes and by the time I came back it was green. I've checked the usual cables and ports, it's definitely an issue with the monitor. I've looked around and found guides on the internet that show how to replace capacitors on the main board. I was wondering if the issue is actually with the main board though, and if it's not, is there a place to buy a replacement video board or instructions on how to diagnose and repair the video board? Thanks!

Is there a factory reset in the menu
What happens when you adjust the color.
Have you tried the monitor on another pc -thinking graphics card.

Inside there is a cable from the main board to the panel have you cleaned/reseated both ends.

Thanks I wasn't expecting a reply that quick

I just took a look to see if there was a reset, I didn't see one in any of the options.

When I adjusted the colors, red and green would do something,I assume it was adjusting those levels, but the blue did nothing, so I'm assuming that blue is missing completely.

I checked everything when I opened it up, there's nothing that seems out of ordinary, only a hard press will get any of the connectors to wiggle, and the vga connectors on the cable were all seated and snug. Ive tried the monitor on a couple computers and it does the same thing.

Maybe a problem with a voltage regulator on the main board.
See guide on 2 seconds to black sticky at the top of this forum start at post19.
