  If there are no images on the screen and you cannot turn on the monitor, check the power cord and signal cable connections. If the initial screen appears, boot the computer in the applicable mode and change the frequency of the video card. Adjust the maximum resolution and frequency that the monitor can properly handle. Also, if the monitor is in PowerSaver mode, press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.

  The image on the screen may be shaking because the signal from the video card exceeds the maximum resolution and frequency of the monitor. Try moving the monitor away from anything that can create a strong magnetic field. Also, the screen image can appear to shake or vibrate at a particular time of day due to low supply voltage.
