Monitor menu is locked? Key is displayed
I've got a 15 inch trinitron monitor which recently stopped letting me into the configuration menu -- access through the buttons on the front of the monitor. I can only get a green key symbol in the lower left corner. I didn't lock it. Didn't even know it could be locked. Now I cannot change display properties. Anyone got any ideas?

Mr Monitor,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
What is the type of 15 inch trinitron monitor that is locked? I will need this information in order to post some information for you to resolve the issue.

Thanks for the link. I've got the monitor unlocked. Although it is still in German language and can't find the language option. At least can change geometry
It is a D825TM, SER no 55301D06VP18 manu date 1998. It has 3 different display modes, controlled from the monitor, standard, presentation and graphics/video mode -- and it had set itself to one that made the screen very dark. Hey but now can play Settlers III in daylight again!
Thanks for your help.

With a name like Mr Monitor I find it surprising you need help with a monitor. hehe
Anyhoo, have a look at this thread posted not too long ago. It might even still show up in searches.
