See the 'Specifications' section ofthis manual and configure your monitor again.This message appears when the signal cable betweenyour PC and your monitor is not connected. Check thesignal cable and try again.Is the vertical frequencyless than 70Hz or is yourmonitor set to theinterlaced mode?Do you have anymagnetic material suchas adapter, or high-voltage line near to yourmonitor?Do you hear a "~ding"sound while the monitoris flickering?Set the vertical frequency to 72Hz or higher, andconsult the video card user manual for instructions onconverting to a non-interlaced mode.(You can set this option under the Display icon of theControl Panel.)Remove magnetic sources, such as poweradapters, speakers, or high-voltage lines, away fromthe monitor.Use the normal degaussing function. This functionclears the screen and reduces any screen blur thatmay occur due to the surrounding magnetic field. Thescreen may flicker for about 5 seconds, accompaniedby a "~ding" sound.The screen is flickering.
A12TroubleshootingDo you see basicdiscoloration (16 colors)?Is the screen color unstableor monochrome?Do you see black dots onthe screen?Do you see a partialblurring on the screen?Set the color depth to 256 colors or higher: use 'ControlPanel' 'Display' 'Settings' 'Color Palette'Check the connection of the signal cable. Or pull out thevideo card of the PC and insert it again.This is due to a small amount of foreign or abnormallyflorescent material that became fastened on the maskduring manufacturing. It will not affect productperformance.This happens due to interference from surroundingmagnetic fields, as created when speakers, steelstructures, or high-voltage lines are placed near themonitor. Remove any such materials from theimmediate vicinity and use the DEGAUSS icon on thescreen adjustment menu to fix the screen.Do you see the after-imageeven when you turn offthe monitor?A premature aging of the monitor pixels may cause theprolonged display of a single image on the screen.
