blue tint

[thirtysomething]

I have an HP Pavilion tx 1000 series and I have the exact same problem. Has anyone solved this issue yet?

Same here. HP tx1120us purchased 2 years ago, so out of warranty. Just started to get blue tint from the VGA output yesterday. From all of the forum chatter, it sounds like the problem is heat related. This is really an unacceptable issue. My next laptop will definitely not be an HP.

Hello,

Another HP Pavilion tx2000 experiencing exactly the same problem here 🙁.

Did anybody try to send a laptop for a repair? What did the HP say?

I haven't tried, since mine's out of warranty. There are some crack-repair methods on YouTube that show you how you _might_fix this problem, though I haven't tried.

Here's one such video:

I had the exact same problem and have found that the only way to get the colours working on the second monitor is to purchase a USB VGA adapter.

They are somewhat expensive and I didn't want to buy one at full price because I wasn't sure that it would fix the problem but I lucked out and was able to get a second hand one from ebay that was really cheap.

This is the adapter I now have

but I'm sure that any brand would work.

Anyway I can say that my problem is now fixed

I had a user with a HP Laptop and we experienced the same issue with the blue tint on the external monitor no matter how it was hooked up or what monitor was used.

The cooling pad did nothing for us. We then went to the local Fry's Electronics store and purchased an USB to VGA cable and it worked like a champ! Thank you soo much for the suggestion.

Hope this can help others too.

I know this is an old thread. I'm a tx2030 owner with the usual overheating issues, and I believe your problem is a symptom of that. Those of you who still have the blue tint problem, please try this for me. With the computer running, push down firmly on the right-hand end of the keyboard (don't worry: you won't damage the keys). You might find that when the pressure is applied, the blueness goes. If that is the case, the nVidia chip has desoldered from the mainboard. Now try to get the laptop really hot: make it work really hard. Play two videos at once: get the fan spinning loudly. Then block the vents for a short while (stay with me...). That should be about as hot as the laptop will get, so stop the videos, clear the vents and push down on the keyboard. You should hopefully be able to solder the chip back on as I have done. Until it next desolders, of course...

Let us know how you get on.
