Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)
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 and the power indicator is blinking, run the monitor self-test by
performing the following steps:
1
Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2
Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
3
Turn on the monitor.
If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box and black text inside as shown
in the following illustration:

This box appears during normal operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or
damaged.
4
Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer
and the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after following the previous procedure, check your video
controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.
