olid Colors Test
The Solid Colors Test checks whether the video sub-
system is displaying the correct colors. This test also lets
you check for missing pixels. When this test is running,
four screens appear sequentially—a red screen, a green
screen, a blue screen, and a white screen. Check each
screen for missing pixels, and verify that the correct color
is being displayed.

pixels were present and if the correct colors were dis-
played; otherwise, type
n
