If the Lenovo Server monitor has screen jitter, or the screen image is wavy, unreadable, rolling, or distorted, and the monitor self-tests show that it is working correctly, consider the monitor's location. Magnetic fields from nearby devices like transformers, appliances, fluorescent lights, and other monitors can cause these issues. Move the device and the monitor at least 305 mm (12 inches) apart. Reseat the monitor. If the problem persists, replace the monitor or, as a last resort by a trained service technician, the system board.
