Foscam FI9828P pink dead

[belmont]

I have been using a Foscam FI9828P for a few years and now the picture of the camera became PINK color. I did reset, and tried to manually correct the colors, no luck.

Have you guys seen such before??? Why it shows now only pink color?? Is there any way to fix it?

If this is during daytime, in colour mode, the cause will likely be that the IR cut filter has not cut the IR, it's still in night time mode.
This is a mechanical shutter that moves across the sensor.
If the web GUI has the facility - you could try switching between day and night mode a few times.
If it hasn't failed completely, maybe a light, sharp rap on the side of the camera may make it move.
And there has been some success with the use of strong magnets at the side of the camera near the sensor to move one that's temporarily got stuck.

Have you tried a cold reset..turning power off to the camera then plugging it back in? Mine will occassionally do such. Hard reset seems to work.
