Question about Acer AL1916B 19" LCD Monitor

Menu randomly pops up while pushing no buttons....

For some reason, the menu to change monitor settings will randomly pop up and block my screen for 30 or so seconds at a time. Sometimes this will happen every 3 or 4 minutes, but not usually that often. Hitting the buttons on the monitor will not make the menu go off and I'm actually not even sure if I am able to change the settings for the monitor. Also, related and almost just as annoying, when I try to turn off my monitor, say while the computer is still on because I won't be using it for a bit, hitting the power button will not turn off the monitor but instead bring up the settings menu. Nothing will make menu go off and eventually get fed up with trying to turn off my monitor. Sometimes hitting the power button 15 or more times will eventually turn it off, but it's a major pain. Any help would certainly be appreciated. I believe I still have time on my warranty, so if that seems like the best option than so be it. I figured that I would try here first. Thanks...

It sounds like an issue with the power button board and I would certainly make use of the warranty option.

Gemstar perjection screen theater tv after about 10 or 20 min the menu screen pops up and then randomly selecting options repeatedly non stop, how to fix and around how much will it cost?

If the menu pops up at random it likely is the menu button on the set being bad--not the plastic button but the switch under it.

You in USA---? I know two people in St. Louis named Nikki and nick.

what kind of set and what model number?

F1703 monitor - OSD Main Menu keeps popping up on screen at random inervals and stays for rand lengths of time blocking the monitor. OSD Menu buttons do not work consistently. IE I cannot even adjust the...

I would try using a different keyboard temporarily and see if the problem continues. If not, you know you're probably hitting a key by mistake that's setting off the OSD menu. Here's your keyboard manual: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/documentation/default.aspx?type=Keyboard&sku=B2M-00012

Stupid padlock/main menu keeps opening and closing DELLe152fp

That is the OSD (On Screen Display) system built-in to your computer monitor. Check that when you hit the ON/OFF button on your monitor, that you do *NOT* hit the 'OSD ON/OFF' button.

Most of the time, the OSD will disappear after 10 seconds of "non-use".

Contrast window pops up and dims the screen.

You are not alone. I have a Viewsonic monitor that does exactly the same thing. Wasn't sure if it was the monitor or a "bug".

Menu screen keeps popping on and off during usage

Check the menu button on your monitor. Chances are it is stuck in the depressed position. (Sometimes an edge of the button will get caught beneath the frame.)

Menu box keeps popping up on screen

Same problem here. I've had this monitor almost two years with no problem until this morning when it started flashing the menu screen and nothing I do will make it stop. Oh well, it was only a hundred dollars. I guess this is emachine's way of saying, "you got your money's worth, now throw this piece of junk away and get another", lol. And therein lies the solution! :)

Pop up menu won't go away.

If you can do the factory reset in the pop up menu, try it. You might have to try with another power supply, cord, or computer and check where the problem is.

Resolution notice keeps popping up every thirty seconds or so. very annoying. this happens only when using cd rom game diablo. wants me to change to 1280x1024, which my computer is set at now. otherwise...

When you load the splash screen of Diablo enter into settings. Make sure you have the game set to the screen resolution you want.
For the system. Open display properties. Click Settings, click Advanced, click Monitor. (Most games require 60 hertz) to run correctly. Change your monitor to 60 hertz. Than click the Adapter tab. Click list all modes. Move the slide bar to your normal screen res with 60 hertz. Click ok at every screen as you back out od display properties. That should stop your game from popping up.
