U are a legend man i was watching ur video with the random tab opening and closing by itself i somehow opened my monitor i cut the cables and now it doesnt bug like that thanks a lot u deserve a like and a subscribe♥

[@FlinnSkooper]

Same problem here, the brightness thingy randomly pops up on my screen and even if i hit menu to exit, it still stays there, is there a way to disable it using the settings?

[@alliberry33]

Omgosh finally fixed my issue! I took the monitor apart, pried the buttons out, and wa-la! After months of dealing with the pop up, it is fixed.

[@sraros]

I have an LG Flatron monitor. The PCB for the buttons is separate with power button PCB and is connected after the power with cables. I removed them and still the menu keeps popping up :/

[@luciancorneliushaussmann6467]

dude, YOU realy helped me, while the menu kept poping up I JUST SNIP THE BUTTON 3 times HARD with my fingernail, and the menu stopped coming, THX alot

The monitor will be good if i just took out the button board and i just connect the wires in to each other?

Great stuff. This fix worked for me. :)

[@alzem2200]

I had same problems... Brightness menu pops up and can't be exit. What I did... I resolder every point on this board(capacitors, resistors and buttons) with small solder gun. Of coarse I removed this board out of case. I also open one button and reassemble it(this was unnecessary).

I have a Acer 1715b little lcd monitor and i found that only pushing both DOWN and power buttons i can turn the screen on and off?? The Power button and all the others dont seem to work alone and i had this apart and cleaned and checked the little board and main board and pins ect and nothing is shorted. I guessing a corrupted main chip or firmware? Other wise the screen works 100% when you give it the input, it goes green and turns on and amber when input stops. I might have to use a third party program to change brightness as the menu buttons dont work to adjust brightness. This is from 2005 and changed all the PS caps as picture looks great and may still have plenty of use in it. I love to get into the service menu to find out how many hours this has had but dont know code for front panel and buttons wouldnt work anyway! haha.

[@JusunmanuelPA]

how do you turn on and off the monitor without the buttons bar?

[@carlosomse]

@@JusunmanuelPA you just leave it on before you unplug it, then it automatically turns on if you plug it in again. When your computer is off the Monitor goes into standby pretty quickly

[@zlatanibrahim0vic10]

How did you remove

[@quanchyplimp]

I have this with an LG monitor. I live in Spain, humidity is high very often. When the humidity is around 70%rH or more, the OSD randomly pops up. As soon as my space is ventilated, the humidity drops and the OSD stops popping up on its own. Averagely, 65%rH is low enough to prevent this problem. I tried removing the control panel, it made no difference, I'm quite certain humidity is a factor. It's worth getting a cheap hygrometer and put it near your PC equipment for easy monitoring (no pun intended).

[@pedrofigueiredo4905]

Your videos are great. :) I have a 20" Samsung Syncmaster 2032BW monitor. Today when I turned it on, although it showed an image, it constantly showed the MagicBright items being selected automatically one by one without stopping (affecting the brightness of the image as you might expect), other times it did the same thing but with the items in the main OSD menu itself, and other times it also did the same thing when the monitor was detecting the mode, whether digital or analog, sometimes choosing one and then choosing the other! In other words, it seems to me that it goes into a loop (sometimes for quite a few time) within the option that is active, be it the OSD Main Menu, the MagicBright menu or even when detecting the mode (whether analog or digital). Another thing that sometimes happens (but doesn't affect the image) is the blue color of the power button, some days it's on, other days it flashes, and some days it doesn't even light up, even though I can turn the monitor on! Can you give me any clues as to what could be causing this problem with the monitor? Many many thanks.

what do u think could be a possible cause of this, because im currently experiencing one on my lg flatron (E1941). is it because the monitor is always on? or just too old?

I have an LG flatron monitor which popped up randomly the menu on and off randomly and rapidly, so I plugged out the side buttons, but no success. Then the power started going on and off randomly... which was much more irritating. So I checked again and an SMD diode on the power button board was blown. Soldering another one from another power button board or any kind from a less than 5V device will do the trick. I hope this helps some people

I would try disconnecting the buttons and check the capacitors to see if it is the button or capacitor that is failing. Disconnecting the buttons usually helps

It is posible that there is something with the button's but i would also check capacitors to see if any of them are bulging

[@gnajor]

But how will the screen power on without a power on switch and the screen switches off as soon as I plugg out the power cable

[@TeckDrivenTeck]

Turn the screen on. Then unplug the power from back for about 30 seconds and plug it back in. If the screen comes on. That means the monitor keeps memory as too what state it was last. Monitors tend to stay on once you turn them on they just go to sleep when you are not using it

I got this problem on my samsung SyncMaster F2380. Disconnecting the menu PCB was my solution 2 years ago. I wanted to restore the buttons & OSD menu today and, after removing the glue from the scotch used by the manufacturer, everything is working correctly. That is... For now, I suspect the scotch's glue to interfere with the electronics (maybe it was acting like capacitor and was starting to conduct electricity) and was the cause of this problem :/ Edit: not a glue/scotch problem : the problem appair again (less frequently). However, the power led is less bright, and is strangely blinking (should be always on when screen is on). Probably a capacitor failing in the control unit :/

[@TeckDrivenTeck]

Most of the time it is because of rust or degrading buttons over long time and capacitors failing, sometime both.

The problem seems to be with the main board, buttons bord is only a remote for the controls. Something is loose like a cap or chip

Try removing completely BOTH power button and the side buttons (if separate boards). If it fixes it’s one of the boards. Otherwise you have to check or replace the motherboard

I have this opposite problem with my Philips 55' LED tv- when tunring on it boots and then it immediately goes to searching for channels, and the volume immediately goes all the way down. as if the left scroll button is stuck. I've removed the button board on side, and the symptoms are stil the same. I've cleaned the button board contacts and no changes, I've done all power cycle attempts and removed batteries from remote. nothing. I've clearned all connetions with spray electrronic cleaner - no changes. I'm able to move the menus side to side and scroll to sources menu, but it is as iff the cursor's buttons are stuck down, wanting to scroll to the left. I have to hold the right button down to scrool the menus over to "Settings" and I try to get into that menu and nothing happens. menu gose away. so I hit the manual button on menu it pops up again and I struggle to get it to settings menu and I try to click on that and it goes away- no menu- cannot get into that settings to do factory reset. I can somewhat scroll thru input menu options, but let go of button and it scrolls to the left again. ITs erradic.
