| 228288 | 2004-04-09 11:58:00 | I was fiddling around with a couple of computers. Both working perfectly. Moved the computer to a different room. Attached the previously working monitor from the other computer to it (don't ask why...) and it now shows "Factory Burn-in" plus different frequencies every few seconds (eg "62 mHz). I tried leaving it for 30 minutes, but no change. I tried disconnecting from the computer, but no change. Same message regardless of whether it's connected to the computer or not. Tried turning off & on using the monitor switch but no change. Tried unplugging the power lead and reconnecting the power but no change. Did my walk down the hallway wreck it? Any bright ideas? Anyone? Cheers Ian. |

| 228289 | 2004-04-09 12:10:00 | Its not ruined,just slipped back into the mode that they run them in before shipping. Their is a way to re-set it by holding 2 of the buttons down,can't be more specific off the top of my head but detailed steps have been listed in this forum before. You could try a google with the model of your monitor and "factory burn in" |

| 228290 | 2004-04-09 12:43:00 | have you tried to power up the computer? some monitors will give "Factory burn-in" if there is no video signal form the computer. | robsonde (120) | ||
