Faulty screen or faulty cable?

The screen on a pc in work has developed a greenish cast but there are no blank areas, just the colour is wrong and cannot be adjusted. I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that this is a damaged cable rather than a damaged screen. Is this a possibility?

I know I could change the cable to check but I am being idle and I don't really want to fiddle with the other elderly but working well pc, especially as it's pretty inaccessible under the desk and heaps of books.

Yes, but you won't know unless you test it with another cable, may well be the monitor...

Okay, thanks, it's a surprisingly grubby job working in a bookshop (and it's physically hard work!)

Poor connection of RGB cable, before replacing, unplug and reconnect.
Sometimes also "cured" by switching off and rebooting (honestly!).

Too late. She's been trapped under a desk for two days now...

It's on my list of things to do. Smile

It's not just a case of plugging them in again unfortunately.
