Troubleshooting

No power

• Make sure power button (or switch) is ON.

• Make sure A/C power cord is securely connected to the back of the monitor and to a

power outlet.

• Plug another electrical device (l ike a radio) into the power outlet to verify that t he

outlet is supplying proper voltage.

Power on but no screen image

• 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 t he monitor.

• Adjust brightness and co nt rast.

• Verify whether an adapter is required for proper signal con tinuity between graphics

card and monitor.

Flickering

• Not enough power su pplied. Connect t he monitor to a d ifferent outlet. If u sing a surge

protector, reduce the number of devices plugged in.

• Check the ViewMeter® from the main menu to verify the refresh rate (vertical

frequency) is 75 Hz or higher. See “Specifications” on pag e 12.

• Remove any devices from the area arou nd the monitor that emit mag net i c fields such

as radios, surge protectors, unshielded spea kers, fluorescent lights, AC power

converters, desk fans, etc.

• Make sure the graphics card in your comp uter can use non-interlaced mod e at the

desired frequencies. To enable your graphics card to support highe r refresh rates, try

selecting fewer colors or running lower resolutions.

Wrong or abnormal colors

• If any colors (red , green, or blue) are missing, check t he video cable to make sure it is

securely connected. Loose or br ok en pins in the cable connect or cou ld cause an

improper conne ction.

• Connect the monitor to anot her co mputer.

• Select Degauss from the Main Menu. Do this only once.

• If you have an older gra phics card, cont act ViewSonic
