Whoa, ease up de facto!
Re-read the original post.

Seeing as the aircraft is dispatched and the QRH is now the reference book to use
Was the aircraft not dispatched then?
Also I could not find it in the MEL/CDL manual so that would mean the aircraft is AOG correct?
Well yes,i guess then you changed aircraft...

Apologies for jumping on ya

To answer your question...
If you select flaps 1 and your indicator only is failed,which means the pdu is working normally,LE slats/slats will deploy as normal.
The initial checklist would be trailing edge flaps disagree.
This checklist will direct you to the stby electrical way to extend the TE flaps.
(Mind you,if the flaps actually went down,you would feel it and see adjustments on the speed tape from the fseu).
Now uou use the stby to extend to 15....the LE should go to full down but still no indication on the TE...
You will be directed to TE flaps up landing with LE slats and flaps at full extent.

The qrh gives some info in the airspeed unreliable,thrust/pitch for different flap setting...you may just realize then that your flaps are at 15.....

Best thing is to follow the qrh and dont guess as stated above.
