The pink is most likely due to the IR blocking filter not turned on.  I read a different post where someone said his kid banged on the camera and it went pink.  Recently, i dropped a camera about 2 feet onto carpet, in the daytime.  The picture was pink.  I then completeley covered the camera so it would think it was night, and remove the IR filter (even though it was already removed.)   Then, when i uncovered the camera, it thought it was daytime, and pushed the IR filter back into the lens assembly.  Everything looks normal again.  

Has your camera seen a night/day cycle yet?  That might "fix" it.  Else, the filter is stuck somehow, in which case you may consider gentle tapping on the sides of the camera?
