PSA: If a cat barfs on your monitor, that part of the monitor is toast. That was me, yesterday morning. During the night a cat (probably the Maine coon, who throws up a lot) knocked the monitor over and barfed. I wiped it off when I found it, but nearly half the monitor had a strong purple-ish cast with lots of lines flickering, making it unusable. Three hours later, when I was back with a new monitor (hey, I’m really computer-dependent), my friend Jenny was just starting a live stream, so I turned it back on, not waiting to set up the new monitor. By now it was probably as good as it would get, with 75-80% of the monitor working normally but the live chat was half in-half out of the damaged part, now blue-grey.

And here’s where I need help. I bought an Acer SA1 series monitor, the newer version of the one I had, that was at least 10 years old. I absolutely hate the warm cast. I can see where I have the option to change it from “Warm” to “Cool” but I can’t seem to get there with the direction buttons. I had it set once but it’s back to “Warm” now, and the “Cool” setting wasn’t all that white, either. What do I have to do to get some white back into the display? This is a desperate person here, and I’ll be grateful for anything you can do to help. I’m actually pretty good with tech, for an elderly person, but this one has me stumped. Those arrows aren’t taking me where I think they should. What am I doing wrong?

What technical issues do you need help with, with computers or other technology? Put them below. And if you have solutions, put them here, too, and thank you.
