My monitor just started to come up with this “power button is locked” message. Everytime I unlock the power button the message will appear again. I have bought a new power supply cord, but it didn’t change anything. Sometimes it won’t happen during the day, but then it will start too. Don’t know what the problem could be, but I want to fix it.
