LCD monitors are becoming much more prevalent because of the ability for the monitors to produce a high resolution and a high quality picture. HP, or Hewlett Packard, is a company that manufactures many different kinds of technology including monitors. If you are experiencing problems with your HP 22-inch LCD flat screen monitor, you can follow a few troubleshooting steps to try to solve these problems.
Make sure that the power cable is plugged into a sufficient power source. Unplug and plug the power cord into the outlet and press the "Power" button on the front of the monitor. The LED light will illuminate if you are receiving power. If it does not illuminate, plug a different electronic device into the outlet to make sure the outlet itself is not the problem.
Make sure that the cable connecting the HP monitor to your computer is secure. Tighten the screws on the connecting piece so to make sure that the connection is strong.
Find out if the monitor will display a built-in on screen message. First, make sure the computer is not on. Then, with the monitor connected to your computer, turn on the monitor and wait 10 seconds. Turn on your computer and as it is booting, unplug the video cable from the monitor. If you do not see a built-in on screen message, continue to Step 4.
Remove any broken connector pins inside your computer's video output port. It is possible that connector pins from the video cable broke off inside of the video port of your computer. Power off your computer and look inside the connector port for broken pins. Using a small, blunt object like a sewing pin, try to remove any broken pins. Replace the video connection cable and try connecting your monitor to your computer again.
Connect the monitor to a different computer if the previous steps were not successful. If the monitor still remains blank, the monitor may be broken.
