Built-in Diagnostics
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen
abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your
computer and video card.
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged
and the monitor is in self-test mode.
To run the built-in diagnostics:
1 Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).
2 Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor
then goes into the self-test mode.
3 Press and hold Button 1 and Button 4 on the front panel simultaneously for 2
seconds. A gray screen appears.
4 Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5 Press Button 4
on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red.
6 Inspect the display
for any abnormalities.
7 Repeat s
teps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in red, green, blue, black, white and text
screens.
The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press Button 4 again.
