Troubleshooting Tips

Monitor Has No Power No Image is Displayed on the Monitor

If the monitor’s power indicator is off and no image appears on the display, perform the following checks:

•Ensure that the power cable is fully inserted in the monitor’s power port and the electrical outlet.

•Test the electrical outlet by plugging in a working electrical device such as a lamp.

•Ensure that the power button has been depressed, and wait for the power indicator to light.

•Try another power cable on the monitor. Use the computer’s power cable and turn on the monitor with the signal cable disconnected. If the monitor is working correctly, a self test pattern appears.

If the monitor power indicator is on but no image appears on the display, perform the following checks:

•Ensure that the video connector is seated properly. Tighten the connector screws securely with your fingers.

•Ensure that computer is on.

•Increase brightness and contrast controls.

•Turn off the monitor and unplug the signal cable. Check the cable connector for bent or broken pins.

•With signal cable still disconnected, turn on the monitor. If the monitor is working correctly, a self test-pattern appears.

•Perform monitor reset or recall.
