Problem: "Dell Self Test Feature Check" test pattern (Red/Green/Blue/White) appears on black background.  Can't see normal desktop.

Solution:

The Dell 1703 monitor has two video connectors, but it can only use one of them at a time.  Sometimes the monitor listens to the wrong connector.  To switch the monitor back to the correct connector use your finger to press the "connector selector" button at the bottom right edge of the screen.  There are four buttons in this area.  Three little buttons and one larger button.  The "connector selector" button is the middle of the three smaller buttons and has a minus sign (-) etched on it.
