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, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:
1. Turn off both your computer and monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove both Digital (white
connector) and the Analog(blue connector) cables from the back of computer.
3. Turn on the monitor.
The floating 'Dell Self-test Feature Check' dialog box should appear on-screen on a black background if the
monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly. While in self-test mode, the power LED remains
green. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously scroll through
the screen.
