The Apple Store has me running a "Capture Disk" utility that I'll email to them if I have any more "blue tint" issues. This will then send a log to the engineers at Apple to diagnose.</p> Well, the video chip and logic board are okay.

It lead to more than just the blue tint. Eventually the display went totally wacky. I finally did some research and found that Apple conducted it's own internal audit of NVIDEA and found some of the video chips sold to Apple were bad (my MBP included). Apple ended up replacing my logic board at no cost.</p> <p>Two weeks ago (02-04-10) the blue tint was back. I immediately brought my MBP into my local Apple store and after a video test found the chip was bad again. Apple replaced the logic board a second time (at no cost to me).</p> <p>Well, two weeks later, the blue tint is back. I have an appointment in under an hour to run a video test. I'll post the results....</p> I ran into this problem in March of 2009. It lead to more than just the blue tint. Eventually the display went totally wacky.

Two weeks ago (02-04-10) the blue tint was back. I immediately brought my MBP into my local Apple store and after a video test found the chip was bad again. Apple replaced the logic board a second time (at no cost to me).

Well, two weeks later, the blue tint is back. I have an appointment in under an hour to run a video test. I’ll post the results….

I've tried it several times with no luck. Ruinning 15" MBP with Intel.</p> This doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve tried it several times with no luck. Ruinning 15″ MBP with Intel.

No user switching or heavy CPU use - but shortly after I purchased my computer I borrowed a friends EyeOneMatch3 Display Color Profiler to make a color profile, so I thought this was to blame. It happened to several other people who downloaded the program too. They did not notice the bluish screen thing until shortly after the download. But none of the previous posts mention this so I guess there are many things which cause this problem.</p> <p>Surly Apple knows about this by now?</p> Well, clicking System Profile, then Display worked for me.

Surly Apple knows about this by now?

That fixed the same problem on my MPB. It was driving me nuts to the point I was ready to sell my MBP. This was a lifesaver!</p> Thanks for the information. That fixed the same problem on my MPB.
