  • I ran into the dreaded Pink Screen of death on my TV. This TV is a Panasonic Plasma TV I bought back in 2009. In this video, I explain how I fix the Pink Screen of Death issue.

    Definitely worked for my mother's 32 inch Sylvania tv. I also switched from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 port. So far so good 👍

    Worked like a charm, I had a 75’ LG Nano connected to my Xbox series X and it was giving me the same problem for the last few months. Unplugging the HDMI cord from the console and putting it back in is what fixed it. Thank you very much!!

    Had to unplug the cable box and plugin back in to get mine to work. Unplugging and plugin back into the HDMI port did nothing. It's caused by your cable box (or device) overheating. Don't set other devices like a PS4 or other gaming system or anything on the cable box or near a heat source. If there is nothing on the cable box then the cooling fan could be out or building up with dust and not working well... especially if you clear it temporarily and then it does it again (like you mentioned).

    I have this problem, too... and discovered that the REMOTE appears to cause the problem.
    (i have an older Sony.)
    As long as I use the TV REMOTE to turn the tv on and off, my screen is fine. When I use the Cox cable remote, the screen pinks out every time. Plugging the HDMI cable in and out solves the problem, but so does using the TV remote.

      I solved this problem by using the TV Remote - not the cable remote - to turn the tv on and off. Once the tv is on, I can use the TV remote with no problem.
      On my Sony, it appears to be the CABLE REMOTE that causes this problem.
      Unplugging/replugging the HDMI cable also works, but I doubt that fix is good for the cable or the cable box/tv.
      Try using your TV remote for on/off.

    Worked in 2022 with a new Chromecast / Vizio 40something inch . I'm also thinking it has something to do with particular hdmi ports and possibly display sleep timers after I noticed my timer got turned down to like 2min and it was happening more often. I'm trying it with no sleep but in the same HDMI port for now. Will report back unless I forget 🙃

    My tv screen goes pink and green and the tv screeches, the power button won’t work when it does this, so I have to pull the cord… can’t figure out how to fix it. It seems to take certain HDMI cords better than others but the tv scream is inevitable for me… I’m worlds confused and can’t find a post of any TV doing anything similar anywhere.

    This did not work. I even changed the hdmi cable, but I think my tv problem is different because my screen turns pink randomly and it temporarily fixes it for like a minute or two when i change the hdmi. And sometimes when I turn on the tv the screen doesn't turn on at all, or sometimes it does but then it goes black again. I really hope I can find out how to fix it cause I just wanna watch Family guy while I eat my breakfast😢

    @trueorfalse446 5 років тому +1

    Just bought a 4 k Samsung smart TV. After about 20 days of usage my screen turned pink. It is not the TV or the HDMI that is causing the issue. It is the receiver from Direct TV not being compatible with the new technology of the 4K. You will likely need to contact Direct TV and arrange for a new receiver box that is compatible with the 4K. When watching Netflix or Amazon Prime I didn't have an issue with the pink screen, only when I switched back to the direct TV programing. The direct Tv box/receivers are not designed to work well with the new 4k so an upgrade will be necessary.
    Turning the tv off and on or unplugging the HDMI is a temporary fix. The pink screen comes back, so the fix is a new box.
    I hope this helps someone.

    Nothing works for my Samsung smart TV, tried different steaming box, different HDMI cable, different HDMI port, reset the TV, all to no avail -- nothing fixes it. It only impacts shades of grey, which become shades of lavender/purple. Whites, blacks, other colors and skin tone is still perfect.

      My TV is doing this with my Chromecast whenever I turn the tv off and on again. I have found that if I change the source input, (eg from HDMI to AV, then back to HDMI) from my remote, this fixes it with no need to go scrabbling round the back of the tv!

    on a pink screen just go to input on the remote and switch to a diferent input hit enter it will say no signal. input back to your hdmi setting and it will be fixed
