Monitor Problems

If the monitor is causing problems, check the following:
1. If there is no display on the screen, check that the monitor's
power switch is on and that the power light on the monitor
is lit. If the power light is on but you still do not see
anything on the screen, check the monitor's brightness and
contrast controls.
2. If the power switch is on but the power light is not, turn off
the monitor's power, wait five seconds, and turn the power
back on. Wait a few seconds to see if the screen displays any
text.
3. If the monitor's power light still does not come on, check
the electrical outlet for power. Turn off your monitor and
unplug it from the wall outlet. Plug a lamp into the wall
outlet and turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.
4. If you still do not see anything on the screen, make sure
your monitor is connected to the computer properly. See
"Connecting the Monitor" in Chapter 1 for more details.
Also check the monitor manual for instructions on how to
connect it to the computer.
5. Make sure your monitor and display adapter card match,
and, if your display adapter card has any switches or
jumpers, be sure they are set properly. See "Connecting a
Monitor" in Chapter 1 and the documentation that came
with your monitor and display adapter card for instructions.
6. If you are running an application program, see if you need
to set up the program for the type of monitor and display
adapter card you have. Also make sure you are using the
appropriate monitor and display adapter card for your
software.
