Troubleshooting
No image displayed
Ensure all cables (power, video) are securely connected at both ends. Verify the correct input source is selected on the monitor. If using USB-C, confirm your computer's port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and check if the laptop is receiving power from the monitor.
Laptop not charging via USB-C
Verify that your laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery. Ensure the USB-C cable used is rated for the power output (70W). Check the monitor's OSD settings to ensure USB-C power delivery is enabled.
Network connection not working
Confirm the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the monitor and the network source. Ensure the correct network profile is selected in the monitor's OSD if applicable. Check if the host computer recognizes the monitor's network adapter.
Peripherals not working (keyboard, mouse)
Ensure peripherals are plugged into the monitor's USB downstream ports. Check that the USB upstream cable (USB-B to PC, or USB-C to PC) is connected and the correct input is selected. Try connecting peripherals directly to the PC to test them.
Screen flickering or lines appear
Check video cable connections for damage or looseness. Try a different video cable. Ensure graphics drivers on your computer are up to date. Reduce screen resolution or refresh rate temporarily to see if the issue persists.
