Built-in Diagnostics Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your computer and video card. NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode. To run the built-in diagnostics: 1 Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen). 2 Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor then goes into the self-test mode. 3 Press and hold Button 1 on the front panel for 5 seconds. A gray screen appears. 4 Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities. 5 Press Button 1 on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red. 6 Inspect the display for any abnormalities. 7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, black, white and text screens. The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press Button 1 again. If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer. Always On USB Type-C Charging The monitor allows you to charge your notebook or mobile devices through the USB Type-C cable even when the monitor is powered off. See USB-C Charging for more information. This feature is only available when the monitor firmware revision is M3B106 or later. You may verify your current firmware revision in Firmware. If this is not available, go to the Dell download support site for the latest application installer (Monitor Firmware Update Utility.exe) and refer to the Firmware Update Instruction User's Guide: www.dell.com/U3818DW. 60 | Troubleshooting
