Symptom Action
The monitor has screen
jitter, or the screen image is
wavy, unreadable, rolling, or
distorted.
1. If the monitor self-tests show that the monitor is working correctly, consider
the location of the monitor. Magnetic elds around other devices (such as
transformers, appliances, uorescent lights, and other monitors) can cause
screen jitter or wavy, unreadable, rolling, or distorted screen images. If this
happens, turn off the monitor.
Attention: Moving a color monitor while it is turned on might cause screen
discoloration.
Move the device and the monitor at least 305 mm (12 inches) apart, and turn on
the monitor.
To prevent diskette drive read/write errors, make sure that the distance between
the monitor and any external diskette drive is at least 76 mm (3 inches).
