If the monitor connected to a tower, desktop or all-in-one computer is blank:
●
Plug the monitor into a different video port on the computer if one is available. Alternatively,
◦
replace the monitor with a monitor that you know is working properly.
Verify that the computer and monitor are plugged into a working electrical outlet.
◦
Verify that the monitor is turned on and the green monitor light is on.
◦
Turn up the brightness and contrast controls of the monitor if the monitor is dim.
◦
If the internal display on an all-in-one computer is blank, open the computer and make sure the
●
graphics card is properly installed.
Upgrade the BIOS. A new release of the BIOS might have been released that supports new
●
features or fixes your problem.
