Troubleshoot the System
Chapter Objective This chapter describes how to identify and resolve monitor anomalies.
Run the Self-test Use the self-test feature to verify that your monitor is running correctly. If the
monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor remains dark and
the power indicator is blinking, run the self-test.
Follow these directions to run the self-test.
1. Power down the computer and monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
3. Power up the monitor.
If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a self-test box that reads, No
Signal.
4. Power down your monitor.
5. Reconnect the video cable to the back of the computer.
6. Turn on your computer and your monitor simultaneously.
7. If your monitor screen remains blank after the previous procedure, check
your video controller and computer system because your monitor is
functioning properly.
IMPORTANT This self-test box also appears during normal operation if the monitor is
disconnected.
