My Computer screen's screwed.

Hi. First of all don't try this.

ok

i got a big (like 5 inch in diameter) circle magnet and was messing with it and then for some stupid reason i put it next to my computer screen and it screwed the colors and stuff. its so hard to even write this. anybody know how to fix that?

Unfixable....get a new screen.

/lesson learned

theres a thing that the computer automatically does called Degaussing which fixes that on a lower scale. but if you go as far as to actually put a magnet up, yeah... youre basically screwed.

pretty colors, tho!

Get a sock and rub it until it's loaded with static electricity then wipe the static off the monitor. There's a very stupid story behind how I know that.

glad to be of assistance, man. reps are always nice. ;)

There actually is a tool to fix this. We use it quite often in vending since some games that come in have messed up monitors. I forget what its called, but its like a big, thin doughnut that you plug in. You hold a button down and wave it around the front of the screen. Viola, poblem solved. My teacher uses his personal one to fix peoples tv's at $50 a pop. He says its a great way to make money cause people think its majic :rolleyes:

Its a degaussing coil... here you go :) http://www.happcontrols.com/monitors/49055900.htm
