If the Dell monitor has a blank screen, blurry image, flickering, or other screen abnormalities, running a diagnostic test helps determine if the Dell monitor is functioning normally.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, verify that the monitor is working correctly by running a diagnostic test.
- Your computer does not turn on or shows any sign of power.
- Your computer does not show any indication of activity, the screen is blank and does not display the Dell logo during start-up.
- Your computer is stuck at the Dell logo screen or does not respond to any keys during start-up.
- You cannot see any display on the screen.
- You can hear the Windows chime but no display is seen.
Self-Test Feature Check
Your Dell C2423H monitor provides a self-test feature check that allows you to check if the monitor is functioning properly. If the monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by following these steps:
- Turn off the computer and the monitor.
- Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper self-test operation, disconnect the video cable (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C cable) from the back of the computer.
- Turn on the monitor. A floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background), if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly. While in self-test mode, the power LED remains white. Also, depending upon the selected input, the dialog box will continuously scroll through the screen.
- Turn off the monitor and reconnect the video cable.
- Turn on the computer and the monitor.
If the monitor screen remains blank after you use the above procedure, check your video card (GPU) and computer, because your monitor is functioning properly.
Built-In Self-Test or Built-In Diagnostics
Your Dell C2423H monitor has an integrated diagnostic tool. It helps to determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is a problem with the monitor or with the video card on your computer.
If you notice any screen abnormalities, it is a good practice to isolate the monitor by running the built-in diagnostics (BID).
- Press the joystick on the monitor to enter the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu.
- Press up or down on the joystick to highlight the Others option in the menu and then press on the joystick to select.
- Press up or down to highlight the Self-Diagnostic option in the menu and then press on the joystick to select.
- Press the joystick to confirm the self-diagnostic action.
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities in the diagnostics test, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card (GPU) and the computer.
If you notice any abnormalities in the diagnostics test, contact Dell Technical Support for repair options.
During the LCD manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. Such pixel issues are hard to see and do not affect the display quality or usability. Learn more about Dell LCD Monitor Pixel Guidelines.
