Problem The monitor doesn't work, even though the computer appears to. When I push one of the special or multimedia buttons on the keyboard, nothing happens. Solution Check the connection of the power cord into the monitor. Make sure the monitor is turned on - it has its own power button. Make sure the monitor power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet. Check to see whether the outlet works by plugging another item into it. (If the light on the front of the monitor is lit, the monitor is getting power.) Check the cable connection between the monitor and the computer. The cable connectors must be pushed in all the way. Adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor. Check the button configuration. To reconfigure the button: 1 Click Start on the taskbar. 2 Click Control Panel. 3 Click Printers and Other Hardware, if present. 4 Double-click Keyboard. 5 In the Keyboard Properties window that appears, click the Buttons tab. 6 Double-click the button you want to change. The button configuration window displays. 7 Choose the button capability from the drop-down list. Enter the Display Label and the Address. (For a Web site, enter the complete Web site URL in the Address box.) 8 Click OK. 9 On the Buttons tab, click Apply. 10 Repeat steps 6 through 9 for each button you want to reconfigure. 11 Click OK when you are finished reconfiguring the keyboard. 74 HP Pavilion home PC
