Gateway 960 manual Mouse, A horizontal line or wire is visible across the monitor screen

Troubleshooting

■You demagnetize the screen using the monitor’s degauss feature. For more information on degauss, see the monitor’s documentation.

A horizontal line or wire is visible across the monitor screen

The monitor may use a thin damper wire, located approximately 1/3 of the way down from the upper screen edge and 1/3 of the way up from the lower screen edge, to stabilize the internal aperture grille. These wires are most obvious when the monitor displays a white background. The aperture grille allows more light to pass through the screen for brighter colors and greater luminescence. The damper wire is a critical part of the overall monitor design and does not negatively affect the monitor's function.

The text on the display is dim or difficult to read

■Adjust the brightness and contrast controls.

■Use the monitor degauss feature (see your monitor documentation) or turn off your server and monitor, leave them off for at least a half hour, then turn on your server and monitor.

■Change the display settings.

■Move the monitor or monitor cables away from sources of electrical interference, such as televisions, unshielded speakers, microwaves, or fluorescent lights.
