Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible solutions
THERE IS NO LED DISPLAY or SCREEN SAYS NO SIGNAL	Make sure you switched to

the correct source. Check both sources to see the video is on the other source. Check your video cable. It might be corrupt. Swap out the video cable for another one to see if the monitor will work. Check your power plug. See if it is fully plugged in on both the monitor

and the wall.

MONITOR SAYS “SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE”| If you have a CRT monitor, please connect the CRT monitor to the computer and change the refresh rate down to 60Hz via your video card’s display settings menu. After the setting of

60 Hz has been changed; you can then use the C30 LED Monitor on the computer.

1. To change the setting, go to display settings by right- clicking on your desktop with nothing selected. Choose the PROPERTIES option.

2. Click on the SETTINGS tab, verify the resolution is NOT higher than 2560 x 1080, and click on the ADVANCED button.

3. Click on the MONITOR tab and change the refresh rate to 60 Hz.

4. Click on OK 2-3 times to finalize your change.

If you do NOT have a CRT monitor or it is already broken, please make sure both the C30 LED monitor and your computer is turned off.

1. Turn on the LED monitor and the computer.

2. While the computer is turned on, press the “F8” key on your keyboard continuously until a selection menu appears and select the “Safe Mode” option.

3. When you have entered Safe Mode, please uninstall any video card driver, and monitor driver by using either the “Add / Remove Programs” icon or going into “System Properties” and manually removing anything under “Monitors” and “Display Adapters.” After removing all the drivers, please reboot your computer, and you should see windows. Please install your monitor driver first, then your video card driver. Please remember to make sure your refresh rate should be at 60Hz.

I CAN’T OPEN THE OSD| You need to have a valid video signal going through the monitor before turning on the OSD.
Problem| Possible solutions
---|---
I CANNOT GET THE CORRECT RESOLUTION| Sometimes your video card will not read the monitor correctly and will not allow you to achieve the resolution you want. Rebooting your computer will solve the situation.

You can also make sure your video card’s video drivers are up to date. You can find what video card you have by clicking on START then RUN. Type in “DXDIAG”. When the diagnostic window pops up, click on the DISPLAY tab. The program will tell you what video chipset you have. Copy that name then search it with an online search engine like GOOGLE™. Find your video card company’s web address and search for newer drivers. If updating your drivers does not work, you probably have one of the older video cards and cannot achieve a widescreen resolution. You will need to upgrade your video card to a newer one.

THE VIDEO IS TOO BRIGHT NO MATTER WHAT I ADJUST| This problem might happen due to newer LCDs having to provide HD video capability and not being fully compatible with older video cards. You can try adjusting the contrast to

a lower value and adjust the brightness to compensate.

THE WORDS AND VIDEO ARE TOO BLURRY| Are you using the monitor’s native resolution? If not, you will need to switch resolution to the native 2560 x 1080 at 165Hz to make the words clearer.

If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling CLEAR TYPE function from windows.

THE COLORS ARE NOT CORRECT| Sometimes the colors are not correct because your DVI or DP, or HDMI cable is loose or corrupt. Please try reconnecting your cable or swap out your current cable to see if the problem persists.
HOW DO I RESET THE MONITOR| Ensure there is a valid video signal to the monitor and press the menu to open the OSD. Look for RESET under the SYSTEM options.
I CHANGED MY COLOR SETTINGS NOW I CAN’T GET THE FACTORY DEFAULT BACK.| Open the OSD, under SYSTEM, select RESET to reset all values back to factory default.
Problem| Possible solutions
---|---
THE WORDS ARE TOO SMALL| At the native resolution of 2560 x 1080, some people might feel that the words are too small to read. You can change the size of the words in Windows Operating System via its display properties.

If the unit fails to conform to this warranty, we will service the units using new or refurbished parts. In the event that the part required for replacement is no longer in production and/or is obsolete, SCEPTRE will repair or replace the unit with similar or like parts of equal value. If a similar or like part is not available, a charge may be incurred to the owner for any upgraded parts substituted.
