The power cord for the external display is plugged into a working electrical
outlet and into the external display.
The external display is turned on and the brightness and contrast controls
are adjusted.
The signal cable for the external display is plugged into the external-display
connector on the computer. Some signal cables might not fit into the
external-display connector because of the connector type.

display resolution and color type (see page 172).
To change or set up the external display, see “Attaching an External Display” on
page 170.
If these are correct, run the tests described in the instructions supplied with the
external display. If the tests show the external display is OK, have the computer
serviced.
