For monitor problems, check the following:
1.If there is no display on the screen, check that the monitor’s power switch is on and that its power light is lit. If the power light is on, but you still do not see anything on the screen, check the brightness and contrast controls.
2.Did you run the SNOOZE utility (described in your VGA Utilities booklet)? Your screen may be just temporarily blank. Press any key to display the current image. If you still see nothing, go to the next step.
3.If the power switch is on but the power light is not, turn off the monitor’s power, wait five seconds, and turn it back on. Wait to see if the screen displays any text.
4.If the monitor’s power light still does not come on, check the electrical outlet for power. Turn off your monitor and unplug it from the outlet. Then plug a lamp into the outlet and turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.
5.Make sure your monitor is connected to the computer. See “Connecting a Monitor” in Chapter 1 or your monitor manual for instructions.
6.Make sure your monitor and display adapter match, and, if you installed a display adapter card, be sure any switches or jumpers on the card are set properly. See “Connecting a Monitor” in Chapter 1 and the documentation that came with your monitor and display adapter card for instructions.
7.Be sure you have chosen the correct display adapter type in the Setup program. See “Setting the Display Adapter Type” in Chapter 2.
