Osd lock in my LCD

osd locked how can open

To unlock the OSD (onscreen display control), turn off the monitor and then press and hold the Menu button on the monitor. Then press the power button to turn the monitor back on. Do not release the Menu button before pressing the power button. This same step (holding the Menu button and then pressing the power button) enables the OSD lock. The menu button is the top button on the right side of the monitor (on the bezel). The power button is the bottom button of the group. AOC has the documentation for the 2036sa here: http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/2036sa . See page 20 of the User's Guide for the OSD lock procedure. The picture of the monitor buttons is on page 19. The guide is available as a PDF on the AOC site. Note: you will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read the file.

I hope this helps.

then press menu,+, -, select buttons of monitor simultaneusly and keep pressed untill osd menu says unlocked

Hi there - I read in another forum to use the left button instead of menu. Give it a try - power off and hold left button while powering on.

I'll cross my fingers for you :)

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 should unlock your OSD menu. best regards

check the power pack to see if it has the required output voltage, usually 12-15 volts. solidstate power packs are prone to failure. The LCD screens require between 2 and 4 amps to power them. A strain on some power packs. Gary(Honkity Hank)

Sorry, seems like the cctv hardware does not like the type of monitor your using. How you tried a different display and does that correct the problem?
