  If your Sony Monitor picture flickers, bounces, oscillates, or is scrambled, try these steps: * Isolate and eliminate potential sources of electric or magnetic fields, such as other monitors. * Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near it. * Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit. * Also, try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.

  Francis RomanAug 21, 2025
  If your Sony Monitor displays a 'No input signal' message, first ensure the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated. Also, check the HD15 video input connector for bent or pushed-in pins. If that doesn't work, your computer may be in power saving mode; try pressing a key or moving the mouse. Make sure your computer is powered on and the graphic board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.
