Aptiva - Display self test
Applicable to: World-Wide
Be sure the monitor has been turned on for approximately 5 minutes before you start the Display Self Test.
Note:
If you are testing a digital power-on LED monitor with a row of LEDs under the access door at the front of the monitor, ignore Step 4a and do Step 4b only. For monitors with an on/off LED only, do only Step 4a.
Run the test as follows:
1. Power off the system unit and monitor.
2. Disconnect the monitor signal cable from the system unit.
3. Power on the monitor. Check to see that the power-on LED is lit.
4. Turn the brightness and contrast controls to their maximum positions.
a. If the monitor has on/off LED only, the following symptoms indicate the monitor is still good:
- The monitor screen should get lighter ( it should not stay completely black). You may want to check the monitor in a
dark or dimly lit room.
- The monitor screen should show a power-off discharge ( a flash of light) when turned off.
Note:
If you can see the flash of light but not lighter screen you may want to perform Step 5 again in a dark or dimly lit room.
b. If the monitor has a row of LEDs next to the control buttons, the following symptom indicates the monitor is still good:
- The row of LEds should repeatedly flash ( or blink) in sequence from left to right.
