    Samsung SyncMaster 225bw displaying oranges as blue

    First off I would like to thank all the fine people here.
    About 6 months ago I ran across this Forum when I was having trouble with my Samsung Syncmaster 225bw. After reviewing several threads I learned that the caps had went out on my monitor. I was having an issue where the screen would not stay on. I replaced them as per the instructions I had found here and wouldn't you know, presto working monitor again! not bad for 4 bucks worth of parts. So THANK YOU for the information guys and gals.

    Things have been great, the monitor has worked as good as new since then.
    Today I turned on my computer and noticed that all my colors are off. Oranges look blue. Something has went wrong and I am unsure if I can fix this problem.
    I tried to use the menu button to adjust the display settings, however it no longer works.

    I am hoping the fine experts here can lead me to a successful repair or at least give me a direction to go.

    Thanks
    Rick

    1) If you only replaced the caps that were obviously bad, the remaining caps could be cause problems now.

    2) Or the caps you used for replacements may not have been good enough?

    3) Either way, open it up and post pictures so we can make suggestions. Post clear focused pictures after reading

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1868

    4) Please do not post pictures inline.

    5) Take your boards to a window on a sunny day, turn flash off, and use macro mode. Take a top down view of all your boards (front and back). Make sure the photo is legible so that we can read the PCB printing clearly. A shutter speed of 1/125 or faster will produce nice clear focus pictures. Try to get a photo that is 2000x2000 resolution or as close as possible.

    Here is an example of the pictures we want.

          I can't think of anything other than some low probabilities things to try.

          1) Did you try both the VGA and DVI ports to see if the problem occurs on both?

          2) Check the solder joints on the VGA/DVI port.

          3) Did you try a different computer?

          PS. Good pics. I can't spot anything obviously wrong with the boards visually.

            I have not tried VGA vs DVI yet.
            I did try another computer and got the same results. Colors are still off.
            Bummer, I guess it just maybe time to buy a new monitor.
            I just picked up a new Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 LED.
            Wish I had my old monitor as this new one hurts my eyes. It's almost like it just to bright.
            Tired to adjust the brightness but no luck.
            I guess I will have to just return this one and give something else a shot.
            Thanks
            Rick
