Onn 36022489 Monitor Diagnostic Steps

1. Check power — Confirm the power cable is firmly connected and test a different wall outlet. If there is no power LED, disconnect the monitor for 30 seconds and reconnect it.
2. Check the video signal — Reseat the HDMI or DisplayPort cable at both ends. Try another cable and another monitor input. Select the correct HDMI/DP source using the monitor's OSD menu.
3. Test the display — Connect the monitor to another computer, laptop, or compatible device. If the monitor works normally, the problem is likely the original computer, graphics driver, cable, or output port.
4. Check Windows settings — Set the display to 1920×1080 and verify the refresh rate under Settings → System → Display → Advanced display. The monitor supports up to 200 Hz.
5. Diagnose flickering or artifacts — Try a different HDMI/DisplayPort cable, temporarily lower the refresh rate, and disable/enable FreeSync to determine whether the problem is signal-related. 
6. Check audio — If using the monitor's speakers or headphone output, select the monitor as the Windows audio output and verify both Windows and monitor volume levels.
7. Reset the monitor — Open the OSD menu and restore factory/default settings. A power reset can also resolve temporary control or display problems.
8. Determine hardware failure — If the same lines, flickering, dead pixels, distorted image, or blank screen appear when connected to multiple known-good devices and cables, the monitor itself may require service. Avoid opening the monitor; manufacturer troubleshooting guidance generally recommends authorized service for internal repairs.
