Self-Test
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 o both your computer and the monitor. 
2.  Unplug the video cables from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-
Test operation, remove all VGA / DP / HDMI (MHL)1 / HDMI (MHL)2 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 white. Also, depending upon the selected 
input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously scroll through the 
screen. 
4.  This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable 
becomes disconnected or damaged. The monitor will enter Power Save Mode 
after 5 minutes if left at this state. 
5.  Turn o your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your 
computer and the monitor. 
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your 
video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning properly.
