Troubleshooting

There are many external influences and circumstances beyond the control of 

BenQ which may be causing problems with your TV. Some of the more 

common and user fixable problems are listed below for your information. 
Please check the following list before calling your nearest BenQ Customer 

Service Center, and attempt the following steps to diagnose and fix the 

problem yourself:

Symptoms

Possible causes

The TV does not turn 
ON.

• Check that the power switch on the power outlet is turned 

on.

• Check that the power plug is securely inserted into both the

 

AC IN

 jack on the TV and the wall outlet, and that the wall 

outlet is switched on (if switched).

• Check that power is available from the power outlet by 

trying another known working appliance (e.g. desk lamp) 

from that same power outlet.

There is no picture or 
sound.

• Check that the TV is turned on (The power indicator 

should be green).

• Try a different input source to confirm if the symptom is 

still present or whether the source is at fault.

• Check for mis-connection of cables for that input.
• Adjust the volume control to check that isn't turned down.
• If the TV is connected to a computer, make sure that the 

computer is not in standby or hibernation mode, and the 

computer’s video display is switch to external output.

The picture is not 
sharp or the picture 
contains image 
movement when 
using the TV tuner 
input.

• The reception may be weak. See next problem solution.
• Change channels to confirm if the symptom is still present 

or whether the channel station is at fault.

• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Try redirecting or relocating your antenna to improve the 

picture. If the antenna is exterior, have a suitable qualified 

and experienced antenna specialist adjust the antenna.

The picture is 
doubled or tripled 
when using the TV 
tuner input.

Your TV antenna signal may be effected by interference. Try 

redirecting or relocating your antenna to reduce the effects 

of the interference. If the antenna is exterior, have a suitable 

qualified and experienced antenna specialist adjust the 

antenna. Picture ghosting is caused by reflections from 

buildings, large metal structures and mountains.
