    I held down the menu button for appr. 5 seconds and it went into burn in mode. I can't figure how to get it out of this mode. While holding down any other button, the power button does nothing.also the only way I can turn off the monitor is to plug in the power button while holding down the power button.

    I tried to do the above solution to the problem, but every time i got to the menu, after about 2 seconds would go "no signal" and then go to the "Burn-In Mode". It has worked on other computers though, just when its not plugged into one or on the comp i want it to work on, it does this.

I didn't have the monitor connected to the computer, and that's why the power button was unresponsive. After connecting it, the solution above worked for me.(My KVM switch was set to a computer that was turned off)

Got monitor out of burn in mode by unplugging the power to monitor then while holding down the power button on monitor plugged in the power cord to the monitor all while it was connected to a running computer. Was able to turn the monitor off with the power button. When I pressed the power again the burn in mode was gone and the monitor was displaying what was on the laptop computer.

I have a 2017 Gateway All in One Pentium Model zx6980 Push power button monitor comes on faintly No signal HD something. Will not boot

It sounds like there could be a few different issues going on with your computer. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the connections: Make sure all cables and connections are secure and properly plugged in. This includes the power cable, monitor cable, and any other peripheral cables.
  2. Check the monitor: Try connecting your computer to a different monitor to see if the issue is with the monitor itself. If the other monitor works, the problem is likely with your original monitor.
  3. Check the hard drive: Disconnect the new SSD hard drive and try booting up the computer without it. If the computer boots up successfully, there may be an issue with the hard drive or its installation.
  4. Check the battery: As you mentioned, the issue could be related to the battery on the motherboard. Try replacing the battery with a new one and see if that helps.
  5. Try booting into safe mode: If the computer is still not booting up, try booting into safe mode by pressing the F8 key during startup. This will allow you to troubleshoot any issues with your computer's software.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your computer to a professional for further diagnosis and repair.

AOpen monitor stuck in Burn In mode

gee a dead PC can do that does this old monitor work in 2nd good pc. Yes/no, what could be more easy for simple test. 5min work?

the manual for it covers this.
lite me make a list.
1:reset the OSD screen via the reset options.
2: turn off all auto modes in osd.
3;turn off auto, input select mode and set it manual to the correct port not told.
4 turn off auto scaler if not using VGA, or it will fail
5: demo mode may be automatic if PC is dead outside USA are you? we have laws here banning that act celled energy star, and the monitor just goes to sleep, no demo allowed here is not green./
it is not burn in, as doing that even invites LCD burn/ghosting
so is not that it is demo move and keeps moving to avoid burned lcd elements. but gee Aopen monitors stink, so, who knows no?
F90GS (2005 and before says warranty page)
the make does not support it down they ended legacy all
huge limit here is
1280 x 1024 @75Hz
the demo mode is a self test mode, it shows all is good, visually.
newer monitors now, have this as an option called test pattern.
each maker and model are different but ours go blank sleep.

why not be the first to ever post a video of so called burn in.
below click video and provide it. we love videos of screens and saves endless answers guessing what you saw.
screens have vast ways to fail, i think ive seen them all as teck for 50 years. yes back to mainframe days and VT52 and older.
do the reset in OSD
and /or
unplug it from wall AC
and hold in powerbutton to mon, and at same time plug AC in
and hold together that and for 10 seconds and release the power button , some do reset this way .
or unplug the monitor from wall AC overnite.
this can cure lightening hit latch up events. amazing no.?
also 3? kids playing with this monitor may have turned on demo or self test mode, I say cut their allowances.(grin)

My HP A735W is turning on but stays in power save mode and no key board or mouse function

I think the issue is your monitor. If the monitor constantly says Power Save Mode and not let anything else display then the monitor might be bad. See if we can isolate the problem by the steps below.

Try booting up in Safe Mode and see if the monitor works ok.

Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE MODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will look different to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this is normal. If it works ok in safe mode then the monitor is ok and we might have an issue with a setting.


Try connecting another monitor to your computer. Borrow a monitor from a neighbor, friend, relative or co-worker and connect it to the computer. If the Borrowed monitor works ok, then your original monitor is bad. If the Borrowed monitor does the same thing as your original monitor then the issue is with the computer (possibly the video card).

Hp g60t went into hibernation last friday it wouldn't come out of hibernation so i had to hold in the power button and shut down. laptop turns on but no video now the screen stays black. i tried a reset...

This issue could be due to presence of static charges or internal hardware malfunction of the notebook. To isolate the exact cause of the issue, perform the steps provided below.

Step 1: Hard Reset

To perform a hard reset, please follow the steps listed below:

1. Unplug the AC adapter from the notebook PC and remove from any port replicator or docking station.
2. Remove the battery from the notebook battery compartment.
3. Press and hold down the power button for about 20 seconds.
4. Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook PC.
5. Press the power button to turn the notebook PC back on.


This will discharge the static charges from the notebook. Now turn on the notebook and check for the issue. If the issue persists, then remove and reseat the memory modules of the notebook and check for the issue.

Step 2: Remove and Reseat the Memory Modules

You can refer the service manual provided below for information to remove and reseat the memory modules of the notebook.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01602064.pdf

Refer page no: 52 & 53
NOTE: PDF manuals require the Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing and printing.
Further, if the issue persists after performing the above steps, then the issue could be due to hardware malfunction of the video card or defective LCD display screen of the notebook. Hence, I recommend you to connect an external monitor to the notebook and then check whether the display works fine on external monitor or not.

Step 3: External Monitor

You can follow the steps listed below to connect an external monitor to the notebook.

1. Turn off the notebook.
2. Connect the monitor cable from the external monitor to the monitor port on the rear of the computer.
3. Connect the monitor to a power source and turn it on.
4. Press the Power button to turn on the computer.

At this time, please follow the instructions mentioned below for switching the display to the external monitor:

The notebook's video card supports three modes. Built-in screen only; external video only; and both on simultaneously (mirrored). If you're not seeing the image on the desired device(s), the notebook's video card is probably in another mode. Press FN + F4 to cycle through the display options: Notebook display, External monitor, both.

If you press FN + F4 once, the external monitor will display & there will be no Notebook LCD display.
If you press FN + F4 twice, the external monitor will display & there will be some shading on the Notebook LCD.
If you press FN + F4 thrice, both Notebook LCD & external monitor will display.

If the issue persists on the external monitor, then this could be due to defective video card on the notebook. However, if the display on the external monitor is fine, then the issue is with the LCD display panel of the notebook. In either cases, the notebook requires a detailed onsite diagnosis by a service technician.

I believe the information provided would be helpful to isolate the issue with your notebook.
