      If nothing is displayed on the screen, ensure the display is plugged in and switched ON. Also, check that the brightness and contrast controls are properly set. Verify the display video cable is correctly connected. Try switching off the display and unplugging it from the power outlet. Disconnect the video cable and examine the video cable connector pins. Check that the video upgrade is properly installed and that you have enough memory for the selected video mode. If your screen’s refresh rate is set too high, check the refresh settings.
