Solutions

Check the power cord connection and supply.

Check the signal cable connection.

If the initial screen (the login screen) appears, boot the computer in the applicable mode (the safe mode for

Windows ME/XP/2000) and

then change the frequency of the video card.

Note: If the initial screen (the login screen) does not appear, contact a service center or your dealer.

You can see this message when the signal from the video card exceeds the maximum resolution and frequency that the monitor can properly handle.

Adjust the maximum resolution and frequency that the monitor can properly handle.

The monitor is in PowerSaver mode.

Press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse to activate the monitor and restore the image on the screen.

Unlock the OSD by pressing the MENU button for at least 5 seconds.
