When I tried to turn off my HP2009m monitor by pushing the power button, I see the following message:
Power Button Lockout
Since HP has a tradition to make beautiful and quality monitor with the worst power button (Which means you have to keep it power on, or you need to get a new one even the monitor is doing okay), I was worrying about whether my monitor is “dead” or not.
After unplugging the power cable for a night and put it back the next day, I found that the problem was still there. So, finally I decided to reset the monitor to factory settings. Yay! It works!
So here is what I’ve done:
- Push the Menu button
- Select Factory Reset using the +/- key
- Push the OK button
- Select Yes by using the +/- key
- Push the OK button
This computer problem should be gone. If the computer problem still exists, I will take apart the monitor (by remove the frame) and re-adjust the power button. That’s how I save my another HP monitor from being sent to landfill.
