2.
Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
3.
Turn on the display.
If the display is functioning properly, you will see the STFC pattern.
4.
While in self-test mode, the power management indicator remains green and the STFC pattern scroll through the
screen.
5.
Turn off your display and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the display.
If your display screen still remains dark after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer
system;
your display is functioning properly
.
