You are trying to troubleshoot a monitor that has a dead screen. The brightness and contrast controls are turned up and you now want to check if the monitor display is working. What should you do?
  1. Clean the screen with a dry cloth.
  2. Switch ON the computer and feel the static on the screen.
  3. Clean the screen with a wet cloth.
  4. Switch OFF and then switch ON the monitor.
Explanation
Answer - B - To verify if the monitor is working, you should switch ON the computer and try to feel the static on the screen.

Key Takeaway: Monitors usually contain a high voltage setup. This high voltage setup tends to leave a static charge on the screen. This static charge can be felt by placing the back of your hand a couple of centimeters away from the monitor screen. If you can feel the static it means the monitor is working. If you cannot feel the static, the monitor is dead and needs to be replaced or repaired.
