indicator remains green and the figure moves around on the screen.
 
4) Turn off your LCD Display and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the LCD  Display 
If your LCD Display screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and 
computer system;  your LCD Display is functioning properly.
