Hallelujah!! Thanks MRS TUFTS!! :generic:

Hello everyone. If you are experiencing issues with OSD lockout, there is an HP document that contains troubleshooting for this issue. You can locate it in this post: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Audio-Video-Monitors/HP-W2207h-LCD-MONITOR-HOW-TO-TURN-OFF-OSD-...

 

This issue typically occurs when the power button is pressed for more than 10 seconds, on select computers. It will disable access to the OSD menu, and other features. If the troubleshooting in this document does not assist you, please let me know, since further troubleshooting will likely be required.

THE SOLUTION IS A LOT MORE SIMPLE! Simply turn on the monitor with a working HDMI input (for example, turn your ps3 or other HDMI capable unit on until the video is desolated on screen) and hold the menu button. It will say "osd lockout" but just keep holding it. Eventually it will take you to the menu and you're set!

None of these solutions worked for me. Even when I held it down and received the menu, it came back.

In the end, I just bought another monitor.

Someone has a manual on how to open the HP w2207h ?

 

I remember that I was trying to open it but at one point, I did not know what to do then.

Now a similar problem appeared again, and it becomes worse and worse.

I want to try to fix it myself by opening the monitor and cut the wires connected to the menu buttons like some mebers suggested.

 

Anybody have i image tutorial or something similar?

 

 

EDIT:

I have successfully fixed the monitor myself. :OpenSmile:

Just follow this video I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG4GQp_avhg

 

Its very well explained. In my case, the menu was always popping up, so as many suggested...I opened the monitor according the video and I just unplugged the cable at the "buttons board" (its this tiny white little thing...).

 

Good Luck to everyone else, I hope I could help you with my answer.
