Steps to Fix AOC Monitor

1. Check Power Connection

• Unplug the power cable from both the monitor and the wall outlet.
• Wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in securely.
• If using a power strip, try plugging directly into the wall.

2. Check for LED Light Indicator

• Look for any LED light on the monitor.
  • No LED Light: Monitor may not be receiving power or the power supply may be faulty.
  • Try a different power cable if available.
  • Plug the monitor into a different wall outlet.
  • Test the power cord with another device to check if it’s working.

3. Disconnect All Input Devices

• Unplug all HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB devices from the monitor.
• Press and hold the power button for 10–15 seconds to drain residual power.
• Reconnect just the power cable and try turning the monitor on.

4. Test with Another Computer

• Connect the monitor to a different computer or laptop.
  • Monitor still doesn’t turn on: Problem likely with the monitor.
  • Monitor works: Original device may be the issue.

5. Check Monitor Settings and Physical Condition

• Use the input or menu button to cycle through input sources—monitor might be on the wrong input.
• Inspect the power port, screen, and back panel for damage (e.g., bent pins, broken power jacks, cracked screen).

6. Seek Professional Help

• If none of the above steps work, the monitor may have a hardware issue.
  • Visit AOC’s official website and check warranty status.
  • Contact their support team for replacement or repair options.
