5. Troubleshooting (Q&A)
If you encounter any issues, please refer to the solutions below. If problems persist, contact customer support at uperfectglobal02@163.com.
Q: Why does my monitor not turn on?
- A1: Check if your device's Type-C port is full-featured (supports power and signal transmission). If not, use the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable for video and a USB-C to USB-C cable for external power.
- A2: Insufficient power supply. The monitor requires a minimum of PD 18W. For 2K 120Hz display, power consumption is higher; use an external power supply.
- A3: If the above steps fail, contact customer support.
Q: It says "no signal", what to do?
- A1: When using a USB-C cable, ensure your device supports USB3.1/Thunderbolt 3. If not, use a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable.
- A2: Ensure you are using the original cables provided.
- A3: Try connecting to another device. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Q: Why does my monitor turn off when I turn up the brightness?
- A: This indicates insufficient power supply. Increasing brightness increases power consumption. Use an external power supply to resolve this.
Q: Abnormal conditions occurred (e.g., splash screen, spots, constant restarts).
- A1: This is usually due to insufficient power. Use the original cables and ensure adequate power supply (minimum PD 18W).
- A2: If using a mobile power bank, confirm it provides 30W or more.
- A3: Try another device. If the problem continues, contact customer support for a replacement.
Warm Tips from Manufacturer:
- If the screen signal is poor or flickers, ensure you are using the provided adapter. Other adapters may provide insufficient voltage. If flickering persists, try swapping the HDMI cable.
- Verify your PC/Laptop's Type-C port supports audio and video signals (Thunderbolt3). If not, a "Type-C to HDMI" adapter is needed.
- If "No Signal" or "Power Saving Mode" appears, try reversing the Type-C cable head and reconnecting.
- The monitor defaults to power save mode. (Note: No save function in sleep mode, close manually.)
- The 18" portable monitor has no built-in battery and no touchscreen function. It cannot be charged and does not respond to touch input.
