Troubleshooting
No power
n Make sure the power button is ON
n Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the back of the monitor and to a power
outlet.
Power on but no screen image
n Make sure the video cable supplied with the monitor is tightly secured to the video
output port on the back of the computer. If the other end of the video cable is not
attached permanently to the monitor, tightly secure it to the monitor.
n Adjust brightness and contrast.
Flicker
n There may not be enough power supplied. Connect the monitor to a different power
outlet, or if you are using a surge protector, reduce the number of devices plugged in.
n Use the OSD (On Screen Display) controls to verify that the refresh rate (vertical
frequency) is 75Hz or higher.
n Make sure the graphic card in your computer can use non-interlaced mode at the desired
frequencies. To enable your graphics card to support higher refresh rates, try selecting a
lower number of display colors or using lower resolutions.
n Remove from the area near the monitor any devices, such as radios, unshielded speakers,
or AC power converters that emit magnetic fields.
Incorrect display of colors
n If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check that the video cable is firmly
connected. Damaged pins in the cable connector may also result in a faulty connection.
n Select Degauss from OSD menu.
Entire screen image scrolls (rolls) vertically
n Make sure the video input signals from your computers graphics adapter are within the
monitor’s specified frequency range.
n Try the monitor with a different power source, graphics card, or computer system to
locate the source of the problem.
n Make sure that the video cable is securely connected.

All NESO monitors are designed with “FD Trinitron®” CRT which is sensitive to shocks and
vibrations that may occur during transportation. Following are some adjustments tips when
below mentioned symptoms occur.
Symptom Tip
Two horizontal lines are
visible on the screen
n This is a normal characteristic of Trinitron CRT.
n These are damper wires designed to dampen and
prevent shock and vibration in the aperture grille.
Black fine vertical lines
are visible on the screen.
Shock and vibration may
cause the aperture grille to
misalign resulting in a few
fine black vertical lines
across the screen.
n Degaussing the screen
n Tap lightly (do not hit) the side of the monitor
If above mentioned remedies do not work, please do the
following:
1. Display full white window or wallpaper background
over the area where the black lines appear.
2. Set Contrast and Brightness to the maximum, wait for
a moment until the problem is corrected. You may
try to tap lightly the side of the monitor to help
expedite the alignment.
