My baby was tapping on the computer, and must of hit some combination of keys, because the screen went all b/w almost inversely!!

I restarted and it doesn't go back... I tried calibrating in system preferences, but no luck.

What to do?

Hit ctrl+option+apple (or command!)+8 and hopefully you should get back to normal colour!!

I like doing this to my girlf's ibook and then convincing her it's her logic-board failing!...hehehehe...

This can also be reverted back under "Universal Access" in System Preferences...

Sounds like a logic board failure.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.
