How to unlock HP 1940 LCD monitor?? i try with holding menu button and power also..but didnt show me unlock...i hold like 1min even more...and its keep to blink OSD lock...and Main Menu on my screen.Can u tell what i need to do Thank you

This problem comes from the control switches on the front panel. I had the same problem and fixed it by opening the monitor (unscrew 3 screws on the back side, remove plastic shape of the stand, unscrew 5 screws of the stand and open the back; unscrew the 2 screws of the button switch panel). Now inject contact spray on every switch button. If the problem remains you may have to replace the button swithces. Thats all!

Press the Menu switch around 35 sec continuas..If lock open no prob other wise you have to replace the Menu micro switch..

Please try to Turn the monitor off. Hold down the Menu button while the monitor is turned off, then press the Power button again to turn the monitor back on. This might unlock your OSD menu and remove that message from your screen. regards
