Abstract
A help service function control device is added to a multi-sync(or multi-modc)monitor of a personal computer. The control device uses a micro controller and an on-screen display to control a video display to show the contents of 'Help Service'. The help service contains Install. Adjustment and Specification instructions for instructing the user to install and adjust the monitor and to understand the specifications of the monitor. The micro controller picks up a serial signal from the on-screen display, permitting the fetched signal to be amplified by a video pre-amplifier and then displayed through the video display so as to help the user eliminate troubles.
