  If the BON monitor displays 'No Signal,' first, check the input selection. If that doesn't work, restore the monitor to its factory default settings and try again. Also, try a different input cable and ensure the cable is properly connected. Verify that the input format and frequency are supported. As a final step, try a different input device. If the issue resolves, the original device may be generating a non-standard signal; in such case, please inform the manufacturer of its model name.

  If the BON logo appears on startup, but there is no screen output when an input signal is connected, remove the input cable and check if 'No Signal' appears on the screen. If 'No Signal' does not appear, restart the monitor. If the problem persists, restore the monitor to its factory default settings. Check the cable connectivity and try a different cable. Ensure that the input format and frequency are correct. Finally, try a different input device. If successful, the failed input device may generate a non-standard signal; please inform the manufacturer of its model name.

  If the active screen of your BON monitor shows strange colors but the startup logo color was okay, restore the monitor to its factory default settings and try again. Select the test pattern (internal pattern) in the menu to see if the R, G, B colors are correct. Check the input selection. Try using a different cable. If you are using a component as input, check if each cable is correctly connected.
