Your  monitor provides  a  self-test feature  that  allows  you to  check  whether  your  monitor is functioning properly. If  your  monitor and  computer  are properly
connected but the monitor screen remains  dark,  run  the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:
1.  Turn off both  your  computer  and  the monitor.

connector) cables from  the back  of computer.
3 .  Turn on the monitor.
The  floating  dialog  box should appear on-screen (against  a  black  background)  if the monitor cannot sense a  video  signal  and  is working correctly.
While  in self-test mode, the power LED remains  blue. Also, depending upon the selected input,  one  of the dialogs  shown below  will continuously scroll
through the screen.
