U3415W, how to connect a new computer?

Hi,

I was allowed to borrow a person's office for a few days. I would like to use my own laptop, keyboard/mouse, but I would like to connect to the screen which is u3415w. I have my own HDMI cable, and that slot in the monitor is not taken. However, when I connect my laptop, I cannot see how I can change the source from DP to HDMI? Usually there is a menu button, but here there are 4 black dots in the bottom of the screen - when I touch them, a picture of a lock appears on the screen. Removing the DP cable did not help either, and the monitor did not switch to HDMI. This is very confusing for me - is there a menu button somewhere, and if not, how can I change the source?

Thanks!

Open the online U3415W User's Guide to page 51. Read the instructions to Unlock the Menu.

See page 10 which shows you should be connecting to the #3 HDMI port.
