Trying to diagnose a friend's trouble. 2 different monitors are getting only the color green on display. Plugs chords outlets and connections are checked. Video card re-seated. What next to check?
My gut says it's the video card.
Can the machine run fine with no video card installed in the event it is a bad card?
Be kinda hard to do anything, these have no on-board video...
Would there be some software settings that can be tweaked? PRAM zap, delete prefs make any difference?
Always worth a shot, can't hurt.
If he set the display to run in black and white only and the problem goes away, what does it mean?
Do you mean that if you set the display to grayscale using Monitors control panel, and then back to color, the color is ok? Then it's probably a PRAM or preferences (or Color Synch preferences!) issue.
