Troubleshooting Tips

Monitor Has No Power

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.

No Image Is Displayed on the Monitor 

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.
