ciao
---first sorry for my english---

i have an apple cinema 30" that started to have a yellow mark appeared on the display and when i try to open an image or video i see blue pixels and sometimes it becomes worst with orizontal grey lines.

it's connected to a mac pro g5

the second scart plug (slot 2) works well but in low resolution, i have problems with the first scart issue (slot 1)

when i connected the apple cinema to another mac it works so i thought it was a problem about the graphic card so i changed it but it still has the same problems---i attached the pic of the display

the graphic card it's a nvidia geforce 7300 gt


please someone knows what's the problem and how to solve it?

many many thanks
ada

You used exactly the same cable and input on the display when you tried another computer?

Take a screenshot.

If the screenshot looks the same, typically that would be a graphics card issue.

If the screenshot is ok, i.e. does not have all that stuff, then it would typically be a monitor issue. A monitor issue could also be a cable problem. This is what I'm expecting since it worked on one computer but not another. Try wiggling/moving the cable, both where it attaches to the monitor and where it attaches to the computer and see if it has any affect on the screen.
