Troubleshooting

Picture is scrambled

If the picture is scrambled or does not look right, you can reset the monitor to its default

video mode and resolution settings.

To reset the monitor settings:

1 Restart your computer, then press and hold F8 while your computer is starting up.

2 Select Safe Mode or Enable VGA Mode, then press Enter. Your computer restarts.

3 Click Start, then click Control Panel. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click

Appearance and Themes.

4 Click/Double-click the Display icon. The Display Properties dialog box opens.

5 Click the Settings tab.

6 Drag the Screen Resolution slider to the size you prefer. If you are not sure what

resolution to use, select 800 × 600.

7 To save your changes, click OK, then click Yes.

8 If prompted, restart your computer.

The mode you have chosen should allow you to use your computer or select a different

resolution or number of colors (select the maximum number possible). If the settings

selected are beyond the monitor’s display capabilities, the operating system restores

the image back to the last saved settings in 15-20 seconds.

Display colors are wrong

■ Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of your computer.

■ Check the video port and the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent

or pushed in.
