Gateway FPD1975WH re-capped, bad colour

[smason]

I recently re-capped a dead Gateway FPD1975. It's working now (was dead, flashing power light) but the colour is a bit off.
Whites are white, so not a bad lamp as far as I can tell. Reds just a bit washed out, but grey is quite brown.
I did an auto config, didn't help. Gateway says unplugging for a while will reset it to factory... that didn't help.
Does anyone know any reset menus?

Try checking the voltage regulator(s) on the logic card. If they check ok, then possible dried out caps on the logic card.

... possible dried out caps on the logic card.

I just fixed a NEC unit that was washed out by replacing three caps oin the logic board.

I will check the caps on the logic board. Thanks guys.

Well I finally got around to recapping the logic board, no change.
I will try a different video source, since my notebook refuses to do 1440x900, and I'll try the DVI input to see if anything changes.
Oddly the on-screen menu, looks fine...

This is trivial, but have you verified the VGA cable connecting your computer to the monitor is good?

Also, the ribbon cable that goes from the logic card to the LCD control panel. Have you tried reseating it at that end?

I did try a different cable (been burned by that before) I'll be taking iot to work tomorrow to try a different video source on analog and DVI.
The cables all got re-seated when I disassembled it the second time to re-cap the logic board.

Well tested it at work with a different source and cables.
DVI- almost perfect, colour maybe just a hair off.
VGA- same as before, greys are very pinkinsh.

Not sure if I'll bother much more with this one. Maybe if I run out of other things to fix...
