Troubleshooting Procedures 

This LCD Monitor was pre-adjusted in the factory with standard VGA timing.  Due to output 
timing differences among various VGA cards, you may initially experience an unstable or unclear 
display when a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.  

 

This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes.  Refer to Addendum for a listing of the factory preset 
modes supported by this LCD Monitor. 

 
PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable 

To stabilize and clarify your display, follow this procedure in this order: 

1.

 

It’s best to adjust the display on a screen displaying of vertical lines.  In Windows, load a 
wallpaper bitmap that has vertical lines in it. (Or you can the select window shut down screen) 

2.

 

After you have the wallpaper loaded, open the OSD and select the “Clock” function.  Press the 
top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button and continue pressing the button until you see vertical 
dark and light lines across the screen. 

3.

 

When you can see distinct light and dark vertical bands, stop pressing the Adjustment Control 
button.  Now press the opposite (top or bottom) Adjustment Control button.  The vertical dark 
and light bands will decrease in number.  Keep pressing the button until the distinct bands 
disappear and you have a clear display. 

4.

 

Next press the Function Control button to choose the “Phase” function.  The Phase will adjust the 
horizontal display.  Press the top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button and you will see 
horizontal dark and light lines appear.  The number of lines increases as you press the button.  
Now press the bottom (or top) Adjustment Control button until the lines disappear and you have 
a clear display.  

 

PROBLEM: There is no LCD Display 

If there is no display on the LCD, please perform the following steps: 

1.

 

Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is lit, all connections are secure, and the 
system is running on the correct timing.  Refer to the Addendum for information on timing. 

2.

 

Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again.  Press the upper Function Control 
button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then press either the upper or lower Adjustment Control 
button several times.  If there is still no display, press the other Adjustment Control button 
several times. 

3.

 

If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external CRT Monitor.  If your PC 
System function properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor 
and the LCD Monitor’s power LED is blinking, the output timing of the PC’s VGA card may be 
out of the LCD’s synchronous range.  Please change to an alternate mode listed in Addendum or 
replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2. 

4.

 

If the PC (or Notebook PC) doesn’t function with the CRT monitor neither, check BIOS to see if 
there is a 

Simultaneous Display

 setting under the display mode item.  Set the BIOS display mode 

to 

Simultaneous Display

 or 

CRT

 and try again.  If there is still no display, then there may be a 

problem with your system.  Contact technical support. 

5.

 

If the power LED is not lit, check to see if the AC power connector is securely connected. If the 
power LED is not lit, please contact your dealer for assistance.
