5.1 Display

1. Blank screen

1) Check to see if the monitor is turned on. If not, press the power button on the monitor.

2) Check to make sure that the power cable of the monitor is properly plugged into the monitor and into a

working electrical outlet.

3) Check to see if the signal cable of the monitor is securely connected to the video output of the VGA

card of the computer. If not, shut down your operating system and connect the signal cable.

2. Settings of display properties

3. There is waterwave on the monitor screen

Check to see if there are any electronic devices that generate magnetic interference, such as refrigerator,

electric fan, electric dryer, UPS, manostat, and fluorescent lamp, within the distance of one meter around

the computer. Or, if the two monitors of two computers stay close to each other (within one meter), there

also might be water wave in the screen display. To resolve the problem, please move the interfering source

away from the computer. If the problem still exists, please contact your Lenovo Customer Service Center

for help.

5.2 Sound

1. When the headphones are connected to the front audio output connector, the

speakers that are connected to the rear panel have no sound.

The front audio output connector is provided for the convenience of use, which has a higher priority than

the rear audio output connector. Therefore, if the speakers or headphones are connected to the front

audio output connector, then the sound device that is connected to the rear audio output connectors will

be disabled.
