LCD built in self test - BIST
All-in-One (AIO) systems supports LCD BIST similar to any other Dell systems that have BIST test implemented. It allows the user to
isolate the LCD during troubleshooting to determine which sub-system is at fault. The main difference is the lack of an integrated
keyboard scan controller in the AIO. When BIST is initiated, an internal generated pattern from the LCD will be emitted for user's
observation. This pattern will go by sequence through this pattern, Red- Green-Blue-White-Blue where each pattern is emitted for 2 to 3
seconds.
The following images displays the pattern of the colors on the LCD:
