Using the Self-Test Feature When Your TV is Connected to Your Computer

When your computer is connected to the TV through DVI or VGA connector you can use the
self-test feature to check whether your TV is functioning properly. If your TV and computer
are properly connected but the TV screen remains dark, run the TV self-test by performing the
following steps:

1

Turn off both your computer and the TV.

2

Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.

3

Turn on the TV.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

If the TV cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly, the floating "Dell - Self-Test
Feature Check" dialog box appears on the screen (against a black background).

While in self-test mode, the power light remains green and the self-test pattern scrolls
through the screen continually. This box also appears during normal system operation if
the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.

4

Turn off your TV and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the
TV. If your TV screen remains blank, the problem may be with your computer or graphic card.
