Disconnect the monitor from the back of the computer. If a
white raster screen appears on the monitor, the problem is not
in the monitor.
The power light is on, but you still do not see anything on
the screen.
Press a mouse button or a key on the keyboard to see if the
monitor or computer is in a power-saving mode. Also, check
the brightness and contrast controls.
If you still do not see anything on the screen, make sure the
monitor is securely connected to the computer.
If you installed a display adapter card, make sure your monitor
type matches the card type. Also be sure you set the correct
display type for the Primary Display option in SETUP.
(See “Setting Advanced Options” in Chapter 2.)
If you are running an application program, see if you need to
set up the program for the type of monitor and display adapter
you have. Also make sure you are using the appropriate
monitor and display adapter for your software.
The power switch is on but the power light is not on.
If the monitor is Energy Star compliant, it may be in a
power-saving mode. Press a mouse button or a key on the
keyboard to activate the monitor.
Turn off the monitor’s power, wait five seconds, and turn it
back on.
If the 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 wall outlet and turn it on. If the light
turns on, your monitor may be faulty.
