Monitor Problems There is no display on the screen. Check that the monitor's power switch is on and that its power light is on. Also, the computer may be in a power-saving mode. When you press a mouse button or a key on the keyboard, see if the monitor displays an image. The power light is on, but you still do not see anything on the screen. Press a mouse button or a key on the keyboard to see if the monitor or computer is in a power-saving mode. Also, check the brightness and contrast controls. If you still do not see anything on the screen, make sure the monitor is securely connected to the computer. If you installed a display adapter card, make sure your monitor type matches the card type. Make sure you disabled the built-in VGA controller by changing the setting of jumper JP50; see "Changing the Jumper Settings" in Chapter 4 for instructions. Also be sure you set the correct display type for the Video System option in SETUP. (See "Using the System Setup Option" in Chapter 2.) If you are running an application program, see if you need to set up the program for the type of monitor and display adapter you have. Also make sure you are using the appropriate monitor and display adapter for your software. Troubleshooting 7-7
