OSD function menu

The OSD function menu keeps randomly appearing and will not go, despite switching the monitor off and/or rebooting. I've tested all the connections but to no avail. When its on screen, the buttons are not working and it keeps scrolling through the menu. The monitor itself is about 2 years old. Any suggestions?

    same problem here....screen menu cycling through menu, cant get rid of it.

    This problem appeared about six months ago and fixed itself. Now it has reappeared but the time between it clearing the screen (using the on/off switch) and the OSD appearing has got shorter. It is now a matter of a few seconds instead of the several minutes it was previously. I have tried all the solutions that I have read on this and other sites but to no avail. Does anyone know what is causing this and how it can be stopped? Even if it means disabling the OSD.

Ok i think i know how to get rid of it now, i did an ATX reset on it and it does go away HOWEVER as soon as you push the menu button again it comes back.

ATX Reset: unplug the main power lead then hold down the power button on the front of the monitor for about 10 seconds, plug the mains lead back in and then switch the monitor on.

Here is a definite solution to all those having problems with OSD menu on Relisys TL 766 Monitor.
Having tried many of the posted solutions none of which worked. The only option was to visit my local PC repair shop who disconnected the OCD monitor for UK £15.00. Spare parts for this model are no longer available. Only down side was the power indicator light in middle of now redundant control buttons does not work. Otherwise a monitor works perfectly. NO MORE STRESS.
Have been advised company may be in liquidation and spares are almost impossible to find

Have had same problem but this worked for me, and (almost) permanently - I say almost 'cos when had to reinstall windows xp, it came back until fixed it (again). Incidentally the "switch the power 'rocker' button on the side on & off very fast" idea is only a temp stopgap - it works, but only for a varying time, and the interval gets shorter and shorter. This should tell you the problem is in the software, not the hardware. And doing this will eventually cause the power button to fail of course! Here's the fix -

in windows open start and run. Type in chkdsk /f and enter. A DOS box opens saying something like such and such will happen on restart; do you really want it? kinda thing. Press y and enter. (if you've got spybot or other registry change monitoring it will prompt along lines of do you accept change? Accept it - it's only a line of code in registry telling windows to do a job when next restarts. Restart. On restart windows will load then will go to a blue screen and do its stuff. Let it. Will then restart again and as will try to delete registry entry having done job spybot (or similar things) will again ask if you accept registry change. Accept. Enjoy. Oh, if didn't work, try same again - sometimes needs a couple of goes to do it but always works for me.

Bigger Al's solution on the '17" tft lcd " post works for me. I have used a hair clip and some masking tape to continually press one of the menu function buttons and this stops the menu appearing. Now what I would like to know is why it appears and what is the real cure?

Ok it would seem that it has happened to me again and the ATX reset doesnt seem to work anymore however i have found a new fix, the on/off button on the right side of the monitor, switch it off then on very quickly, seems to do the trick :-)

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".

OSD Lockout

Hold the menu/ok button for ten seconds, to unlock the OSD.
If this doesn't solve the problem, then it's probably the button that got stuck.

There are two things you can do to repair it, but both require that you dismantle the casing, which voids any warranty.. so, if the monitor's still covered by the warranty, or if money is not an issue, have it repaired by professionals on an accredited brand shop (check your warranty details for more information on this subject).

If not, remove the casing, locate the menu button's contact switch on the circuit board, and try to release it using something thin like a screwdriver, x-acto knife, or set of plyers.
If this doesn't work, chances are the menu button is stuck on a loop, sending a continuous signal to the board (which keeps locking/unlocking the OSD).

If so, your only solution (other than take it to a repair shop) is to remove it, by prying it off with a screwdriver or set of plyers.
Of course, you'll lose access to the OSD features, but I guess this is better than to have a message stuck on front of your screen all the time..

This is a tried and working solution, since I had this problem myself (with a Philips 190B monitor), and solved it successfully, with this method.
