Monitor Problems
For monitor 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 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 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 a 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 match, and, if
you installed a display adapter card, be sure any switches or
jumpers on the card 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.
Be sure you have chosen the correct display adapter type in
the SETUP program. See ‘Setting the Primary Display
Type” in Chapter 2.
7.
If you are running an application program, see if you need to
set up the program for the type of monitor and display
adapter you have. Also make sure you are using the
appropriate monitor and display adapter for your software.
