Monitor problem
Is there any other way to remove this blue lock symbol from the center of my computer screen other than accessing the OSD menu? The buttons on the front of my monitor will not work, therefore I am not able to access the OSD menu to remove this. HELP!!

Did this ever get figured out? I have the same problem - flashing blue/white padlock (locked/unlocked) and none of the monitor buttons work in any combination for any amount of time held down.....
Help!

Did anyone sort this out
I also have a E171FPb monitor where the only button to work is the power button. It also has the padlock (white on blue background) which cycles between lock and unlock with the occasional period when it just plainly disappears. however just when I think it's sorted it reappears
This monitor does not have volume. Ive tried 30s plus of menu plus every other button including power
I did once get the OSD up by turning monitor off and then holding the menu button down when powering up. but then could not select anything from the OSD. I cannot repeat this however
HELP why throw away a otherwise working monitor?

On the Dell P2312H you hold the button above the power button down for 15 seconds.

* Press and hold menu button for about 30 seconds
or
* Press the volume decrease and channel up buttons on the monitor simultaneously for 30 seconds
or
* Press the volume increase channel up buttons on the monitor simultaneously for 30 seconds
or
* Press and hold down both the power and Menu buttons down for 30 seconds
Whichever one works, a message should appear stating that the OSD and buttons are unlocked.
