Troubleshooting Procedures

This LCD Monitor was pre-adjusted in the factory 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.

This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to Addendum for a listing of the factory preset

modes supported by this LCD Monitor.

PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable

To stabilize and clarify your display, follow this procedure in this order:

It’s best to adjust the display on a screen displaying of vertical lines. In Windows, load a

wallpaper bitmap that has vertical lines in it. (Or you can the select window shut down screen)

2. After you have the wallpaper loaded, open the OSD and select the “Clock” function. Press the

top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button and continue pressing the button until you see vertical

dark and light lines across the screen.

3. When you can see distinct light and dark vertical bands, stop pressing the Adjustment Control

button. Now press the opposite (top or bottom) Adjustment Control button. The vertical dark

and light bands will decrease in number. Keep pressing the button until the distinct bands

disappear and you have a clear display.

4. Next press the Function Control button to choose the “Phase” function. The Phase will adjust the

horizontal display. Press the top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button and you will see

horizontal dark and light lines appear. The number of lines increases as you press the button.

Now press the bottom (or top) 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, please perform the following steps:

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.

Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the upper Function Control

button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then press either the upper or lower Adjustment Control

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

several times.

If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external CRT Monitor. If your PC

System function 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. Please change to an alternate mode listed in Addendum or

replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2.

4. If the PC (or Notebook PC) doesn’t function with the CRT monitor neither, check BIOS to see if

there is a Simultaneous Display setting under the display mode item. Set the BIOS display mode

to Simultaneous Display or CRT and try again. If there is still no display, then there may be a

problem with your system. Contact technical support.

If the power LED is not lit, check to see if the AC power connector is securely connected. If the

power LED is not lit, please contact your dealer for assistance.
