my monitor won't turn off -- HP 2009m

[Earl_Arnold]

After moving my monitor several times, to view movies, I find I can't power it down.  It's a 2009m

When I hit the power button, I get a message, "Power Button Lockout"  -- and nothing happens.

I have to unplug it to get it to power down!

Apparently I pressed some combination of buttons on the monitor, that set this lockout.

but I can't find any directions, for resetting it.

Suggestions?

Hi Earl,

Try a monitor reset. Unplug the monitor and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-30 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up. If that doesn’t work then go into the monitor’s menu and do a factory reset.

That worked fine! 

I held the power button for about 30 seconds, and it unlocked!

Thanks.
