Troubleshooting  
Troubleshooting Procedures  
This LCD monitor comes pre-adjusted with standard VGA timing. Due to  
output timing differences among various VGA cards, you may initially  
experience an unstable or unclear display when a new display mode or new  
VGA card is selected.  
Before applying any of the following troubleshooting procedures, you should  
first apply the Auto Adjust option in the OSD menu.  
PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable  
To stabilize and clarify your display, follow this procedure:  
1. In Windows, enter the windows shut down screen.  
2. Open the OSD and select the Clock function. Press one of the  
Adjustment Control buttons until the dark vertical bands  
disappear.  
3. Select the Phase function and press one of the Adjustment  
Control buttons until horizontal dark and light lines appear. The  
number of lines increases as you press the button. Press the  
other Adjustment Control button until the lines disappear and  
you have a clear display.

PROBLEM: There is no LCD Display  
If there is no display on the LCD, refer to the following:  
1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD monitor is lit,  
all connections are secure, and the system is running on the  
correct timing. Refer to the Addendum for information on  
timing.  
2. Turn off the LCD monitor and then turn it back on again. Press  
the OSD Menu button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then press  
either Adjustment Control button several times. If there is still  
no display, press the other Adjustment Control button several  
times.  
3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another  
external CRT. If your PC system functions properly with a CRT  
monitor but it does not function with the LCD monitor, and the  
LCD monitor’s power LED is blinking, the output timing of the  
PC’s VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range.  
Change to one of the alternate modes, listed in the Addendum,  
or replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2.  
4. If the power LED is not lit, check that the AC power connector  
is securely connected. Verify that the AC adapter LED is lit. If  
the AC adapter LED is not lit, please contact Planar for  
assistance..
