4.2 Troubleshooting

4.2.1 Troubleshooting Procedures

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

Warning!

Do not disassemble the LCD display. Doing so may damage
the display and void your warranty. Take the LCD display to a
qualified service technician if it needs repairs.

PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable

To stabilize and correct an unclear and unstable display, enter the OSD
Menu and select AUTOMATIC in the DISPLAY submenu. The LCD
display automatically detects the timing. Alternatively, you can also
press the Auto-Timing button on the right-hand side of the display to
access this functionality.

If you want to restore the default value after changing a parameter,
choose RECALL in the Video submenu.

Note:

Don't use unsupported timing and resolution settings. (See
next page)

PROBLEM: There is no display

If there is no display on your LCD display, perform the following
steps:

1.) Make sure the power LED on your LCD display is lit and that all
connections are secure.

2.) Turn the LCD display OFF and then ON again.

24

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

4.) Shut off your computer and restart Microsoft Windows. (For
older computers you may have to boot in Sfe Mode.) Adjust the
Display Settings to match the resolution and timing of this disi
play (1024x768,60 Hz). Reboot.

5.) If the power LED is not lit, check the AC power connector to
make sure it is securely connected. Verify that the LED on the
AC adapter is lit. If the AC adapter LED is not lit, please contact
your dealer for assistance.

Caution!
