Monitor Lock Icon Problem
I have a monitor that keeps displaying the lock icon.. Its locked for a few seconds, then it blinks & changed to unlock position... When I press the menu button nothing happens.
I've also pressed it for 10~15 seconds and nothing happened too. All the buttons cannot work....
What could be the problem? And how to resolve it....
- have a look through some of these threads - search results
also this - http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Dell-LCD-Monitor-Flashing-Padlock-Icon/index.htm - gpro,Interesting url.. The only problem, if I read it correctly, is don't touch the monitors buttons, only use the v/cards drivers. Would not this indicate a fault with the monitor or can this be resolved by turning it off in the service menu, if you can get at it after this?Just curious,cheers
- just passing the info on - haven't really looked at this issue
also found this on Yahoo Answers:I had this problem once - all you need to do to unlock the controls is press and hold the Menu button for about 10-15 seconds. That should unlock all of the controls.
hope it's that simple :)
It took me days of hunting through Dells website to find this when it happened to me! - unfortunately, that didnt solve the issue... The lock is still on.. blinking on and off every few seconds. I really wonder whats wrong with it.And I noticed something too. when I changed the resolution to higher than 1024 x 768, there is an error.. video settings could not be determined...
- EtelI said before -Not much to go on eg. what monitor, v/card?Have you RTM?For instance, how can we determine resolutions when we don't know if you have a 12" up to a 50"?gpro,Well ok then...With that last idea I would assume that you would hold the menu button while starting up with the power button?cheers
all the facts
