P70/P200 Monitors - Connected to a RISC displays a green tint
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
After connecting a 6554 or 6555 (P70/P200) monitor to a RISC, Power-PC, or X-Station system, an overall greenish tint may be observed.
Problem Isolation Aids:
This Tip is applicable only to the following monitor models, Machine type:-
6554 (P70) models 603 and 604
6555 (P200) models 703 and 704
When attaching to RISC/6000, POWER PC and X-Station.
Fix:
This is probably not a hardware defect. There is a switch on the rear panel of the monitor labeled, "BACKGROUND NORMAL/ADJUST." This switch is pre-set in the factory at the "NORMAL" setting. Some graphics adapters, when configured for certain modes, require this switch to be set to the "ADJUST" position. This change is due to the adapter supplying both external and composite syncs. The monitor can not distinguish which sync to use.
The following action should resolve the problem:
1. Power the system unit and monitor off.
2. Move the Background switch, located in the back of the monitor, to the "Adjust" position.
3. Power the system unit and monitor back on.
If the green tint is still observed, use normal problem determination procedures to isolate the defect.
