The Acer S200HL LCD Monitor displays a 1600x900 resolution picture across its 20-inch screen. Troubleshooting this device may seem difficult, but this guide will help.

Acer

Black screen

Your screen is not turning on when you're pressing the power button.

No power

If your monitor is not receiving power, the power cables of the monitor may have become loose and power isn't reaching your monitor. Make sure that the monitor is securely connected to a working power source and that the cables are not frayed or pulled free from their connections.

Low brightness setting

Sometimes the display of the screen is set on low to conserve power or has been accidentally manually set. Power conservation mode can be a reoccurring problem if your computer is set to go into energy saving mode. Try to access the display settings by your keyboard command buttons. There is usually a power/battery icon button in the lower right corner of your screen. If you click the icon it will direct you to your power manager from which you can change your power settings.

Corrupt new software

If you have recently had a software update and your screen went dark shortly after this update, then you might have corrupt software. Sometimes corrupt software can be easily fixed by rebooting your system; restarting might trigger a better compatibility between the monitor and the software. If rebooting does not fix the problem, use the system restore function found by searching 'system restore' in the windows home search, to restore your computer system to a point before the update. Alternately, try re-installing the software that is causing the problems.
