== Malfunctioning Display Screen ==

''Screen is blank, blurry, or cutting in and out.''

=== Improper Cable Connections ===

* Make sure the computer/device connected to the monitor is on.
* Make sure the monitor's power source is properly connected in the back and plugged in to an outlet.
* Make sure the monitor is properly connected to the intended device via the VGA port.  An adapter may be needed depending on the make of the device.

=== Screen Damage ===

* Check for any visible screen damage (cracks, holes, etc).
* See our [guide|6864|Screen Guide].

== Malfunctioning Power Button ==

''Monitor does not turn on/off when the power button is depressed.''

=== Bad Button ===

* The button contact may be misaligned or broken, see our [guide|6887|Interface Buttons Guide].

=== Circuitry ===

* This may be due to an internal problem on the circuit board. A replacement board (located under the interface buttons) may be needed. See our [guide|6887|Interface Buttons Guide] to get to the circuit board.

== Defective Pixels ==

''Some pixels remain off or on.  Stuck on pixels will remain a single color.  Dead pixels will display no color.''

* Determine locations of the faulty pixels.  This can be achieved by changing the image displayed on your screen and noting the lack of change from a pixel/pixels.
* Turn off the monitor.
* Gently massage the screen at noted locations.
* Turn the monitor back on to see if there is any change.
* If no change, you may need to replace the screen. See our [guide|6864|Screen Guide].

== Dim/Bright Display ==

''Picture too dim or too bright.''

=== Brightness of the Display ===

* Reset monitor.
* Push "Auto-Adjust" Button.
* Select "Brightness" and adjust accordingly.

=== Inverter Failure ===

This requires a replacement to be done. See our [guide|6862|Inverter Guide].

== Misaligned Display ==

''Image on screen is off-center or cut-off.''
