Topic: Monitor for my comp not working, advice needed

Which monitor? It might be that the resolution is too high for your DVI cable.

There are two types of DVI cable - you need DVI Dual Link for anything above 1080p.

I’m pretty sure it’s dual link but I will double check. I will try and reduce the screen resolution and then see if I can get the VGA or DVI to work

Fuck sake. There’s two DVI sockets on the PC and I was plugging the cable into the input rather than the output. Doh! All working now

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre PC that I use to work from home.

A few weeks ago I brought it to my girlfriend's house to work from there rather than going back and forward every day.

I adjusted the brightness and contrast to suit the environment I was working in, but I've since brought the PC back home and when I press the button on the monitor to adjust it comes up 'Menu is Locked.'

I've raised it with our IT department who have no idea how to resolve it, so I'm now resorting to finding 3 year old threads on RAWK.

Anyone any ideas how to fix it? There's nothing in the settings that can adjust the brightness or contrast, only these buttons on the monitor that don't seem to want to allow me to fix it.

Is this an all-in-one PC or is the monitor something else?

I've seen references online to holding the OSD menu button down for 10 seconds to clear a lock on Lenovos but can't claim any experience using them.

That worked. Searched online and wasn't able to find anything. Searched this morning after reading your post and there's loads that say to do this

What I'm shocked about is how an IT dept didn't spot that. 90% of tech support is knowing how to find results on Google!

It'll come as no shock that their advice was turn it off and on again, which I do literally every single day 
Shared screen with them and hoked around in the settings, despite me saying I've already done all this. He was saying he has setting on his, which was a completely different device 
In the end he said to bring it with me next time I'm coming into the office as they'll need to investigate it. Just told them I'll get on with it.

I'm baffled as to how I'd have locked it in the first place though. Would have been no need for me to be near them buttons apart from when I adjusted it the first time.
