The Video Display Does Not Appear If your computer starts up (the power indiator on the main unit is on) but you don't see any images on the screen, follow these steps to try to find a solution: 1. First, check to see that the monitor's power switch is on and the power indicator on the monitor is lit. If the power is on but you don't see the indicator light, turn off the monitor's power switch, wait five seconds, then turn the power back on. Wait a few seconds to see if the display screen appears. 2. You can also use the controls on the monitor to adjust the brightness and contrast of the display. 3. Check DIP switches 5 and 6 on the back panel of the main unit to make sure they are set correctly for your video card. If you need to adjust a DIP switch, turn off your computer, make the adjustment, and then turn on the power. 4. Remove any diskettes you have in your disk drives, then turn off the computer. Check to see that the monitor's power cable is securely connected to the AC OUTPUT outlet on the back panel of the main unit, and that the monitor cable is properly connected to both the monitor and the correct option slot on the back panel. Then turn both power switches back on. 5. Finally you can check the AC OUTPUT outlet for power. Turn off your computer. Then plug a portable lamp into the outlet, and turn it on to see if it supplies power. Troubleshooting 6-3
