LCD OSD by Jarrod on 04-11-2008 at 11:12 AM
my lcd screen's OSD brings it's self up about 5 seconds after i turn it on but the power button doesn't work(turned off at the power) the power button sometimes works but doesn't seem to atm. the osd is sutck there and won't close.
i've considered the following:
- tap the screen(buttons) with a hammer
- take the screen apart and either disable the switches or clean them at least
- replace it completely
it's a 2002 acer model
anything i haven't considered?
what's the best option?

if you've got the skills to, 2.
if not, have it repaired.
if that's not worth it, 1, then 3.
after 3, throw it out the window and post pics

How about just disconnecting the power?
You also save some power and your screen probably last longer too.
(A connected screen is never really off when you don't disconnect it from the mains)
To disconnect the power you could simply use a powerbar with a switch so you don't need to pull out the plug each time. You can connect your computer to that powerbar too so it is turned off properly also and the PSU will last longer.

don't your screen have a reset option? usually that fixes these problems
