Does a transparent blue screen on an old computer monitor indicate it has gone bad?

Answer by  Answerer27 (83)

For the most part, yes. Whenever you get a blue screen on your monitor, no matter the shade, it is bad news. I recommend taking to a professional to see if it is even worth saving. It can be expensive.

Transparent blue screen shows that the connector of the monitorhas gone bad. Changing the connector will help. Otherwise monitor is faulty.

This blue screen is what i like to call the blue screen of death. This means that your computer has seen better days and most likely means its time to get a new computer. If you dont have to moeny for one, take it in to a professional company and you can get it fixed for a fair price.

No. The VGA cable may be defective, or there may be a connectivity problem in the connectors - twisted or missing pin for example.

Yes, this is the blue screen of death. Your computer is dead. You could try to salvage some of the parts.

No, it does not mean that the Computer Monitor has gone bad. In most of the cases, it is due to bad connection with the Video Card. It can be a loose connection or it can be that the cable is faulty or broken.

Not necessarily. You should try the monitor on another computer if possible and update any the video and motherboard drivers for the system it isn't working with.
