AOC Monitor Not Working' Issue

Troubleshooting monitor issues may be very time-consuming because identifying the source of the problem is not easy – it may be a hardware issue linked to your video card, cable, or monitor. It might also be a minor software issue, which should be easily resolvable by installing fresh drivers. If your AOC monitor fails to start, you should certainly consider making yourself familiar with the best troubleshooting tips for the 'AOC Monitor Not Working' Issue. 

Check Your Monitor's Power

Make sure to start by troubleshooting the cable connecting your AOC monitor to the outlet. You need to see if both ends are seated correctly, and it might also be helpful to check if the electrical outlet works by connecting another device to it. Also, check if your monitor's 'standby' light is on – if it is, then it is not a power issue.

 Check the Video Cable

Regardless of whether you are using an HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort cable, you may experience monitor issues because it is not properly seated or damaged unexpectedly. In addition to seeing if both ends of the cable are plugged in, you may also want to consider trying the cable with a different monitor.

 Switch Your Video Card's Port

Modern video cards often have multiple HDMI / DisplayPort ports that you can use with your monitor. Switch to a different one, and see if it resolves the issue.

 Update Video Drivers

Of course, doing this without a monitor may be difficult, so you need a way to get another monitor to work with your computer. Updating to the latest video drivers is the best way to make sure that the 'AOC Monitor Not Working' Issue is not a software-induced problem.
