pink or red screen fix

I have two 20" apple cinema displays and one of them started giving a pink/red tint to the screen image. I was wondering if this is a common problem with a solution that I can repair myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Check the number please, is this a A1081?

The number a1038 is the correct numer on my display. It is an older model with the clear acrylic body. It is not the model a1081.

The same is happening to my 22" Cinema Display ( 2000 ). Except it happens intermittently. And the change between normal and orange seemed to be always after the screen was moved.

Reddish color on any monitor/display is a faulty LCD.

When I had this problem on my M8536, it was just because of a faulty cable. Try bending the cable around and see if you can find a sweet spot in which the picture has the appropriate colors.
