  If your Samsung Monitor displays no images and you can't turn it on, ensure the power cord and signal cable are securely connected. If the login screen appears, boot the computer in safe mode and adjust the video card frequency. If the login screen doesn't appear, contact a service center or your dealer. Also, make sure the monitor's resolution and frequency are properly adjusted. If the monitor is in PowerSave mode, press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.
