red/orange tint in display

My computer suddenly went from a normal display to a red/orange/pinkish color while I was using it. I'm not doing anything unusual - Safari, itunes. Everything is displayed but it's just in shades of red. I restarted but it didn't fix. I went to Preferences/Display/Calibrate and it only made it more red/orange/pinkish. Thanks for any help.

1.8 GHz PowerPC G5, Mac OS X (10.4.10), 1 GB DDR SDRAM

Do a forum search regarding your issues & try all the troubleshooting solutions mentioned including checking to see if your computer qualifies for one of the G5 iMac Repair Programs

**WARNING: DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR COMPUTER'S SERIAL NUMBER ON THESE MESSAGE BOARDS.**

Otherwise, you will have no alternative but to take your computer to your local AASP. Hopefully, you have AppleCare.

Good luck!

the exact same thing is happening with my computer!
last night, we were watching some streaming video with quicktime and blam! red all over. we've tried rebooting several times, color calibration, testing power cords/outlets, and nothing seems to do the trick.

my imac just recently got home from a technician for a power supply problem, it hasnt even been a week and he's sick again.

if anyone can help out it would be muchly appreciated.

Take your computer back to the repair shop & inform them your computer is still having problems.
When you go to pick it up after the repairs have been done, do not leave the repair shop until you are satisfied that this time the repairs were done to your satisfaction/correctly.
