If the external monitor works correctly, the internal LCD, LCD/FL cable, or FL may be faulty. Go to Procedure 3.

Insert the diagnostics bootable CD in the computer's CD ROM, turn on the computer and run the test. See Chapter 3 for information on how to perform the test.

If an error is detected in the test, go to Procedure 3. If no error is detected, the display itself is normal.
