Troubleshooting First Checklist/ - 2
First Checklist
Important:
Many displays returned for repair are found to be fully
operational. Read this checklist to prevent needless module
replacement and unnecessary time delays.
The Studio Display DVI is not compatible with all
computers.
This display works with selected AGP-based Power Mac G4
computers.
Verify connections.
Symptoms that mimic display failures can be caused by loose cable
connections or a loose DVI graphics card in the computer. Check
cable connections and verify there are no bent pins. Ensure that
the DVI graphics card is securely connected in the computer.
Protect the display from static discharge.
To prevent possible damage to the display from electro-static
discharge, always plug in the computer to a grounded power outlet
before connecting the Studio Display DVI to the computer.
Shut down the display or put it to sleep when it will
not be used for an extended period.
A constant and unchanging image that is left on an LCD screen for
an extended period of time (approx. 24 hours) can leave a
residual ghost image. To remove the image, either shut down the
display or put it into sleep mode using the Energy Saver control
panel. The time it takes to recover depends on how long the
original image was left on the screen. It generally takes between
one and two times as long to remove the ghost image as it took to
create it.
With the display in sleep mode using Energy Saver, the power
light is amber and the backlights are off. Although a screen saver
can be used, some screen savers keep the display backlights in
use, thereby decreasing the useful life of the backlights.
