Sounds like your display is searching for a connection from the DVI port. How is your computer connected to the display? Is the display set for auto or is it set manually for the type of connection you're using?

You shouldn't need both of them plugged in. Leave the white one attached and uplug the other one. See if that helps.

Your OSD menu buttons are on the right side of your monitor, change the input select to DVI (it may be set to auto), the manual is linked below. Can you try the monitor on another computer that allows you to plug it in with the white (DVI) plug?
