My Safety first video monitor wont turn on. Please help. I have it plugged into the wall.....

Here's some tricks I would try...
1. Verify the monitor's power cord is plugged firmly into the wall outlet and the back of the monitor.
2. Verify the monitor cable is firmly connected to the computer and the monitor.
3. Verify that you have turned the monitor power switch on.
4. If the power light on the monitor is not on, test the wall outlet (plug in a light or something you know works).
5. If the power light on the monitor is not on, try a different power cord.
6. If the power light is on and yellow or orange or flashing, but nothing displays, or the display is incorrect, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor probably needs replaced.
7. Also, you could try your Monitor on a friend's computer. If it doesn't work, your monitor probably needs replaced. If it works properly on your friends computer, the problem may be with your computers video output port, motherboard video chip (or video card, if you have one), or drivers.
Good luck.

Good Evening

Is the unit plugged in or are the batteries fully charged?

If so, and you cannot get the screen to work, how old is the unit? If it is under 12 months old please contact your retailer with proof of purchase and ask them to request a replacement under warranty.

Is the monitor getting power? Does the power button light up? Check all your connections. Power from wall to monitor. Video cable from PC to Monitor. Do you have another computer or laptop you can try plugging into the monitor? If two machines don't work on the same monitor, it's either the monitor or the video cable itself.
Hope this helps! If so, please give a rating!

All you need to do is plug in the video cable into the back of your computer (VGA port) and plug the monitor into the wall. If the monitor doesn't turn on when plugged in, then the monitor is bad.

Do a reset: Turn the computer and monitor off. Unplug the monitor video cable from the computer and unplug the monitor power cord from the wall outlet. Let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes. Plug everything back in, turn on the monitor, then start the computer. Sometimes that will work.
If you still have the same problem, try to borrow a known to be good monitor from somebody. If it works, then you know your monitor is bad.
It's also possible that your video circuitry is bad. If the monitor plugs straight into the motherboard (onboard video), then you'll need to purchase a video card and install it. Disable the onboard video first.

Hi Gaz,

First, verify the monitor is functional.
Monitor STFC (Self Test Feature Check)
Turn off the monitor
Plug the monitor power cord directly into the wall socket to remove any surge protectors or APCs from the troubleshooting equation
Unplug the monitor video cable from the back of the computer
Turn on the monitor
The floating dialog box should appear on screen against a black background.
If the issue appears during the STFC, the monitor is defective. What are the results please?

There is a limited warranty offered by HP for this problem see the link to see if you qualify.
