Remote Control Problems

Problem
The wide LCD monitor does not
respond when using the remote control
Using the Self-Test Feature When Your Wide LCD Monitor is
Connected to Your Computer
When your computer is connected to the wide LCD monitor through DVI or VGA connector you
can use the self-test feature to check whether your wide LCD monitor is functioning properly. If
your wide LCD monitor and computer are properly connected but the wide LCD monitor screen
remains dark, run the wide LCD monitor self-test by performing the following steps:
Turn off both your computer and the wide LCD monitor.
1
Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
2
Turn on the wide LCD monitor.
3
If the wide LCD monitor 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 blue 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.
Turn off your wide LCD monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your
4
computer and the wide LCD monitor. If your wide LCD monitor screen remains blank, the
problem may be with your computer or graphic card.
See your computer documentation for more information.
Possible Solution
Point the remote control directly at the lower right corner of the
1
wide LCD monitor. Be sure that nothing is blocking the front of
the wide LCD monitor. For the location of the IR, see "Front
View" on page 65.
Verify that the batteries are properly installed.
2
If the batteries are old, install new batteries.

NOTE:
Bright lights or other infrared devices may interfere with
your remote control and IR on the wide LCD monitor.
