Monitor Questions
Why doesn’t anything display on my monitor screen
when I boot my system?
If the monitor power indicator is not lit, turn on the monitor
power. Check the power cable connection from the monitor
to the power outlet.
Next, check for a loose video cable connection. Make sure
that the video cable from your monitor to the computer is
tightly secured.
If you still have a problem, see “Monitor Problems” in
Chapter 6 of this guide.
Why is my monitor “flickering?”
A low refresh rate can cause flickering. The lighting in the
area might also cause it.
To select the correct refresh rate (or any other video
attribute), right click the Windows desktop and click
Properties
. The Settings tab on the Display Properties
window offers various setup features for your video display.
You can select the resolution, number of colors, and monitor
type. Selecting the monitor type sets the refresh rate for your
monitor.
Why is the image scrolling up on my monitor screen?
A loose video cable connection, a bent video cable pin, or a
video setting can cause a monitor to lose synchronization. Be
sure your system is set correctly for the monitor.
