Acer 17" Green Tint, HELP PLEASE!

Hey there,
Last night i moved my monitor (an Acer 17") from one room to another so we could lan. I diddnt drop it or anything on the way there, i set it upside down on the sofa for a second but was gentile the whole time. When I turn it on now the screen has an intense and even green tint. I tried Degaussing and that diddnt do anything. However i found out that if i set the monitor upside down then the green tint goes! Just to be clear, what i mean by upside down is the "legs" or base of the monitor are pointing towards the ceeling, the screen is still facing the user. I checked the pins on the plug and they are fine. I opened it up and diddnt see anything obvious. Im not sure whats wrong with it or what i can do to fix it. Any comments or suggestions would be really great!
Thanks,
-Tom

 

By that sounds of it, I think thats the end for your monitor, you could get an engineer to take a look but it could just be cheaper to buy a new monitor. 17" monitors are pretty cheap now anyway.

 

Id say its the VGA cable i have a monitor thats like that ( but its a yellow tint) and ya gatta bend the VGA cable the right way ( a 90 degree angle from the plug in my case.. I have a twist tie holding it http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif ) and it works fine..if thats the prob the VGA cables are normaly EZ to replace...

 

That thing about the cable sounds sort of good, i remember giving it a yank to get it out from behind the desk. the only thing that still confuses me is how it looks find when i tip it upside down

 

That Cable Thing Was It!
Thanks ALOT!
