8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/"No Signal" message | Incorrect input source, loose cable connection, insufficient power. | Check cable connections. Ensure the monitor is receiving sufficient power. Select the correct input source via the OSD menu. Verify your device's display output settings. |
| Monitor does not power on | No power, faulty cable. | Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the power source is active. Try a different USB Type-C cable or power adapter. |
| Touchscreen not working | Device not supporting touch over current connection, incorrect cable, driver issue. | Ensure you are using a full-featured USB Type-C connection. For HDMI, an additional USB connection for touch data might be required (if supported by your device). Check device settings and drivers. |
| Flickering or distorted image | Faulty cable, resolution mismatch, interference. | Try a different cable. Adjust the resolution on your connected device. Ensure no strong electromagnetic interference sources are nearby. |
| No sound from speakers/headphone jack | Volume too low, incorrect audio output device selected, faulty cable. | Adjust monitor volume via OSD. Check your device's audio output settings to ensure the monitor is selected. Test with different headphones/speakers. |
