If the message appears on the screen, even when the cable is properly connected, check the video source of the monitor by using the Power button on the front panel of the monitor. This may happen because the monitor is set to Analog.
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.
(Refer to the Preset Timing Modes)
Note: If the initial screen (the login screen) does not appear, contact the 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 any key on the keyboard to activate the monitor and restore the image on the screen.
