Troubleshooting
If you think the monitor may be faulty, please check
the following points before taking it to be repaired.
If afterwards it still does not work, please contact the
shop where you purchased the monitor or your
nearest Sharp authorized Service Center.
The monitor's florescent tubes have a limited life
span.
- If the screen darkens, persistently flickers or
does not light up, it may be necessary to
replace the florescent tube unit. Please inquire
at the shop where you purchased the monitor
or your nearest Sharp authorized Service
Center. (Never attempt this replacement on
your own.)
- In the initial period of use, due to the
characteristics of florescent tubes the screen
may flicker. (This is not a malfunction.) Should
this happen, check by first turning off the
power, then turning it on again.
