LCD BIST
LCD BIST (Built-In Self Test) helps you determine if a display problem is
caused by the LCD or some other part. The test may displays different colors
and text on the screen and if you do not notice the problem during the test
then the issue lies outside of the LCD.
NOTE: Peripherals may have diagnostics specific to them. For more
information, see the documentation of the peripheral.
Starting LCD BIST

2. Press <F12> at the Dell logo to access the Boot Menu.

your computer and try again.
3. Select Diagnostics and press <Enter>.
4. If you do not see colored lines on the screen, press <N> to enter the
LCD BIST.
