6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| No Power | Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on. |
| No Signal / Blank Screen | Verify that the video cable (DP, HDMI, USB-C) is correctly connected to both the monitor and your computer/device. Select the correct input source via the OSD menu. Ensure your computer's display output is enabled. |
| Flickering or Distorted Image | Check the video cable for damage or loose connections. Try a different video cable or port. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Adjust the refresh rate in your computer's display settings. |
| Monitor Not Waking from Sleep (Mac Mini example) | Access the monitor's OSD menu, navigate to 'Other Settings' or 'System', and turn off the 'Auto Power' feature. This allows the monitor to enter standby instead of fully powering off when no signal is detected. |
| USB Ports Not Working | Ensure the USB-B upstream cable is connected from the monitor to your computer. If using USB-C, ensure your device supports USB-C Alt Mode for data transfer. |
