Is Your Monitor Not Working? Don't Call Anyone Until You've Read Your Monitor Repair Manual
By Fraser Higgins

Make Sure It's Plugged In

When you call computer support to tell them that your monitor isn't working, the first thing they will ask is if the computer monitor is plugged in. This may sound like common sense but they really do have to ask. Then, they'll ask if your monitor is turned on. They will go through all sorts of mundane and common sense questions before they get to the technical stuff. This makes for one very long customer service call. You can drastically reduce the time you spend on the phone with the customer service rep by first consulting your monitor repair manual.

Easy To Follow Instructions

Your monitor repair manual will tell you what to do in case your monitor malfunctions. It will cover some common problems along with their solutions. You will be provided with pictures and diagrams that make it very easy to repair your monitor should it happen to break down. The monitor repair manual should cover everything you need to repair your monitor without having to consult a representative.

If, however, your monitor repair manual still doesn't fix the problem, that's when you should call the customer service representative. Tell the person on the other end of the phone that you already consulted your monitor repair manual and tell them every step you've gone through. That should save you a lot of time and energy, since they will know that you've already covered the basics, such as checking to see that the monitor is plugged in.

Don't Panic, Just Pick Up Your Manual

If your monitor is not working correctly, don't panic and don't automatically pick up the phone. More than likely, you'll just get more aggravated, what with call times being so long and rude customer service reps asking mundane questions, you can easily see why most people hate calling Customer Service lines. Next time, consult your monitor repair manual and see if you can fix it yourself. You'll not only save yourself time but you'll have the feeling of accomplishment that comes with fixing something yourself.

Request A Manual Today

Your monitor repair manual should come with your monitor. If it doesn't, contact the dealer where you got your computer, or the monitor's manufacturer, to see if you can get a monitor repair manual for your particular model.
