If you’re getting this message on your monitor then you might not be able to turn your screen off. Here is how to fix it quickly and easily.
Many users have reported this problem with HP monitors and I’ve had a few in my shop over the past few years.
Fix #1:
Disable the monitor’s Power Button Lockout Function by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds.
Fix #2:
If the first fix doesn’t work then you can do what is called a factory monitor reset.
Simply unplug the monitor from power (unplug from the wall). Then press and hold the power button for 40 seconds.
Then plug the monitor back into the wall and turn it on.
Thanks # 2 worked

Fix one worked. I had tried it before but must have not gone the full ten seconds.
well done. it worked just fine
Fix 1 and Fix 2 did not solve the problem. What shall I try next?
FIX #1 Worked perfectly.
Thanx for the advice.
thank you for valuable comments.
thanks its worked
Thank you for the help! Fix #1 and Fix #2, in that order, did not work, but after completing both, then running Fix #1 again, solved the problem. Thank you, again.
#1 worked thanks
Is it the monitor when it goes right to sleep mode when you turn the computer on?
Had to hold the power button for 30 secs but the first one worked, thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! #2 Worked for me.
Does not solve problems. Is this a monitor or video card issue? What is third solution, a new monitor?
At first I thought it was possibly my J3 Galaxy mobile phone. But … no luck. Then I tried doing a web search for “Power Button Lockout” and followed a comment solution for holding the monitor power button for a few seconds until the message disappeared. It worked. Thanks!
Yeah. Thanks. Number ! worked for me.
My monitor on my pc is locked I tried 1and 2 and it didn’t work
I had the same issue. After further investigation, I found that the resister labelled RV3, which is in parallel to the power button was faulty. I removed it and my menu is now accessible
Your solution worked—-HP’s solution failed—thanks for keeping ahead of the manufacture.
I followed your guide procedures.
Now I win it.
Thanks you so much.
Yeah! Number ! worked for me as well. Thanks!
Yes, it worked, although I tried it several times before, but this time it worked!!!
Thanks, #2 worked.
Thanks you so much the first option worked for me.
I am talking about a NEW HP Z38c 72″ Monitor in use 2 weeks that does not render startup screen when I “restart”. I must turn MAIN power switch OFF/ON right after powering on PC after having to turn OFF PC as restarting renders no screen, only input messages telling me my HDMI is connected! Would this be the same?
#2 worked for me!!! Thank you so much!!!
