If the cable from the computer to the display is secure, determine the color of the standby 
LED and follow the appropriate procedure below.

Black 

Cause:  
If the status LED is black, unit is on standby or there is no power to the unit. 

Recovery: 

•   Press and hold standby button.

•   Ensure the power cable is plugged into the source.

•   Connect the power cable to a AC outlet. Ensure the AC outlet is active. 

•   Wake up the display by pressing the standby button. 

amber

Cause:  
If the status LED is orange, there is no video signal.

Recovery:

•   If Video 1 or Video 2 is selected, ensure there is a video signal coming into the 

selected channel. 

•   Ensure there is a video signal coming from the computer.

Green

Cause:  
When the standby LED is green, there is both power and a video signal. If there is no 
image on the main display, there is a possible hardware failure. 

Recovery:

•   Ensure the video signal coming from the computer is not a black screen. 

•   Contact Z Microsystems’ Customer Support Department.
