APPENDIX A

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Procedures

This LCD monitor comes pre-adjusted with standard VGA timing. Due to output
timing differences among various VGA cards, you may initially experience an
unstable or unclear display when a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.

Before applying any of the following troubleshooting procedures, you should first
apply the Auto Adjust option in the OSD menu.

PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable

To stabilize and clarify your display, follow this procedure:

1. In Windows, enter the windows shut down screen.

2. Open the OSD and select the Clock function. Press one of the

Adjustment Control buttons until the dark vertical bands
disappear.

3. Select the Phase function and press one of the Adjustment
Control buttons until horizontal dark and light lines appear. The
number of lines increases as you press the button. Press the
other Adjustment Control button until the lines disappear and
you have a clear display.

PROBLEM: There is no LCD Display

If there is no display on the LCD, refer to the following:

1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD monitor is lit,
all connections are secure, and the system is running on the
correct timing. Refer to the Addendum for information on
timing.

2. Turn off the LCD monitor and then turn it back on again. Press
the OSD Menu button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then press

16

either Adjustment Control button several times. If there is still
no display, press the other Adjustment Control button several
times.

3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another
external CRT. If your PC system functions properly with a CRT
monitor but it does not function with the LCD monitor, and the
LCD monitor’s power LED is blinking, the output timing of the
PC’s VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range.
Change to one of the alternate modes, listed in the Addendum,
or replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2.

4. If the power LED is not lit, check that the AC power connector
is securely connected. Verify that the AC adapter LED is lit. If
the AC adapter LED is not lit, please contact your dealer for
assistance.

PROBLEM: There is no Video Signal

1. Make sure the connected video device is on and connected
correctly.

2. Make sure the video source is selected to the connected video
device correctly.
