Acer S242HL user manual

The Acer S242HL monitor has a fixed stand which means its tilt angle cannot be adjusted. If you need to achieve a different viewing angle, consider purchasing a separate adjustable stand or mount that is compatible with the VESA mounting pattern on the back of your Acer monitor.

There could be several reasons why your Acer monitor is not turning on:
1. Power supply issue: Make sure the monitor is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check if the power cable is connected securely to both the monitor and the power socket.
2. Faulty power cable or adapter: If the power cable or adapter is damaged or faulty, it may prevent the monitor from turning on. Try using a different power cable or adapter to see if that solves the issue.
3. Faulty power button: If the power button on the monitor is not working properly, it may not turn on the monitor. Try pressing the power button firmly to ensure it is making proper contact.
4. Display source selection: If you have multiple input sources connected to the monitor, make sure the correct input source is selected. Use the buttons on the monitor or the remote control (if applicable) to navigate through the menu and select the correct input source.
5. Display settings: It is possible that the display settings on your computer are not compatible with the monitor. Try connecting the monitor to a different computer or laptop to see if it turns on. If it does, adjust the display settings on your computer accordingly.
6. Hardware or internal component issues: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a hardware or internal component problem with the monitor. In such cases, it may be necessary to contact Acer support or take the monitor to a professional for repair.
Note: If your monitor has an integrated power supply (does not have a separate power adapter), you may need to contact Acer support for further assistance or bring the monitor to a professional for repair.

If your Acer monitor is displaying "no signal" message, you can try the following troubleshooting steps to fix the issue:
1. Check the cables: Ensure that the cables (VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort) are firmly connected to both the monitor and the computer or device it is connected to. Sometimes a loose or disconnected cable can cause a no signal error.
2. Source/input selection: Press the source/input button on the monitor to ensure it is set to the correct input source. For example, if you are using an HDMI cable, make sure the monitor is set to HDMI input.
3. Test different cables/ports: Try using a different cable or a different video output port on your computer/device. This can help determine if the issue lies with the cable or the port.
4. Power cycle: Turn off the monitor and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a minute, then plug it back in and turn it on. Sometimes a power cycle can resolve issues.
5. Update drivers: Ensure that your computer or device has the latest graphics drivers installed. Outdated or incompatible drivers can sometimes cause display issues. Visit the Acer website or graphics card manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers.
6. Test on another device: Connect the monitor to another computer or device to determine if the issue is with the monitor itself or the computer you are currently using. If the monitor works fine on another device, the problem is likely with your computer.
7. Reset monitor settings: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you can try resetting the monitor to factory settings. Look for a reset button on the monitor's menu or refer to the user manual for instructions.
If none of the above steps work, there may be a hardware issue with the monitor, and you might need to contact Acer customer support or bring the monitor to a professional for further assistance.
