If you are working on a network, plug another workstation with a different cable into the network
connection. There might be a problem with the network plug or cable.
●
If you recently added new hardware, remove the hardware and verify if the workstation functions
properly.
●
If you recently installed new software, uninstall the software and verify if the workstation functions
properly.
●
If the screen is blank, plug the monitor into a different video port on the workstation if one is
available. Alternatively, replace the monitor with a monitor that you know is working properly.
●
Upgrade the BIOS. A new release of the BIOS might have been released that supports new features
or fixes your problem.
