Padlock Symbol Inspiron 3470
Hello. I keep getting a white padlock symbol on my screen. It's about 3.5 inches square and white in color with black background.
It keeps flashing on the middle of the screen. It shows padlock closed and then open.
Leaning on my desk, or just moving the mouse around sets it off and then it keeps going.
Picture attached.

Well this is embarrassing.
Yes was a monitor issue. I just realized my speakers seemed pushed back and were resting underneath the monitor. So I moved them forward and problem solved.
Thanks to Rohe for putting me onto the right path to find the solution.

As per an older thread I have tried the following and nothing works.
More slack on the monitor cable.
Holding down the X key.
Changing the resolution on the monitor.
Have not yet tried taking about the keyboard to clean.
It's a wireless keyboard.
I'm using WIN 10.
