If Your PC Does Not Start Properly
If your display is blank and there are no error messages when you turn on your
PC, follow this procedure:
1 Check that your PC and monitor are plugged in and turned on. (The power
light should be illuminated.)
2 Make sure that all cables and power cords are firmly plugged in.
3 Make sure the power outlet is working.
4 Check that you have removed the cardboard from the CD-ROM drive.
(Refer to page 5)
5 Check that the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls are properly set.
6 Ensure that you have entered the correct password, if one is required to use
this PC.
7 Switch off the monitor, and unplug it from the power outlet. Disconnect the
video cable and examine the video cable connector pins. If the pins are
bent, carefully straighten them.
8 Check your monitor’s manual to find out which refresh rates are supported.
Use your operating system’s Display Control Panel to select the correct refresh
rate.
If the problem continues, contact the people in your organization who support
and maintain the PCs on your network.
Monitor Problems
If the display image is not aligned with the screen, use the controls on your
monitor to center the image (refer to your monitor’s manual for instructions).
