Troubleshooting the Video Subsystem

Check the system and power connections to the monitor.
2
Check the video interface cabling from the system to the monitor.

If two monitors are attached to the system, disconnect one monitor. The
system supports only one monitor attached to either the front or rear video
connector.

Try using a monitor that is known to be working.

Run the appropriate online diagnostic test. See "Running the System
Diagnostics."
If the tests run successfully, the problem is not related to video hardware.
If the tests fail, see "Getting Help."
