Problem

Solution

No picture

The signal cable should be completely connected to your computer’s display port.

 

If applicable, the display card should be completely seated in its slot.

 

To properly receive power on the 324i, make certain that: the power cable is plugged into a

 

 

live electrical outlet; the power switch on the bottom is switched on; and the power button on

 

 

the front has been turned on.

 

Confirm that the resolution selected in the operating system is supported by the monitor. Con-

 

 

sult your display card or system manual to change the graphics mode).

 

Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended set-

 

 

tings.

 

Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.

 

Verify that you have selected the right video input port. Cycle through the inputs by tapping the

 

 

INPUT key on the front panel of your monitor.

 

Turn the monitor Off and On using the front power button.

Power key does not respond

Unplug the monitor power cord from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.

 

Confirm that the electrical outlet is working properly.

LED on monitor is not lit

Confirm that: the power cable is plugged into a live socket; the power switch on the bottom is

 

 

ON; and the power button is turned on.

Image Persistence

Image persistence is a residual or “ghost” image of a static figure or object. The static figure or

 

 

object remains visible on the screen even though a new image is on the display. This is usually

 

 

due to static images being displayed for a long period of time. Fortunately, image persistence

 

 

on LCD monitors is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as

 

 

long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for

 

 

one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase

 

 

the image.

 

LaCie recommends using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.

 

 

It is also a good idea to turn off the monitor when it is not in use.
