Evaluating Your Display
Switch the analyzer off, and then on. The display should be bright with the annotation
legible and intelligible. There are four criteria against which your display is measured:
• Background Lamp Intensity
• Green, Red or Blue Stuck Pixels
• Dark Stuck Pixels
• Newtons Rings
Evaluate the display as follows:
• If either the A18 LCD, A19 GSP, A9 CPU or A27 backlight inverter assemblies are
replaced, perform a visual inspection of the display.
• If it appears that there is a problem with the display, refer to the troubleshooting
information that follows.
• If the new display appears dim or doesn't light, see “Backlight Intensity Check,” next.
