the power button on the front of the monitor is locked - tried the VS forum, press and hold "1 and the down button" is their advice, doesn't work - anyone know how to fix this, please

1384892 2014-09-28 06:50:00 thanks for that "Wainui" - same result as when I tried the forum answer, both still locked - not much of a problem , just a nuisance really, I've changed the display from 30 minutes to 10 so unless there's a problem I'll live with it, thank you again jayal (1291)
1384893 2014-09-29 01:06:00 Could be the power button or associated circuitry is actually faulty. I've replaced the buttons on a monitor and TV which were bad, and also replaced a shorted debounce capacitor on another monitor which caused all buttons to fail to work. Agent_24 (57)
1384894 2014-09-29 02:12:00 that would be way beyond my capabilities thanks "Agent_24" I think I'll just leave it as is till it manifests itself any further, then a new monitor? jayal (1291)
1384895 2014-09-29 22:30:00 You probably already have but try holding the buttons for 15 rather than the 10 seconds quoted in the manual also try press and hold the down button before you press the power button and visa versa. Fortunately monitors are rather cheap nowadays. I still use a Sony 19" LCD one I paid $2k for not that many years back. A better one now is more like $2-300. CliveM (6007)
1384896 2014-09-30 07:21:00 same result Clive but thanks anyway for your suggestion - what were you doing in 2004? viz December jayal (1291)
