My monitor is coming up with auto display settings and scrolling through them all fast and i have no control over them. how do i fix this or is the monitor broken?

Sounds as though one of the buttons on the front of your monitor is stuck in, try pressing each button several times to see if you can loosen it.

My monitor keeps flickering on

It does the same with another PC/
If you are going to DIY and already try the monitor with another PC, and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on: Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/ Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

No power light. Got voltage

It may be getting the AC voltage feeding it but the switching power supply circuits may not be working, this can be due to shorted circuits, bad caps with domed tops, etc.

My phillips 170s monitor`s screen keeps going

The problem is more than likely caused by the inverter board that drives the back lights, the board should be replaced to address the issue.

Continual pop-ups saying OSD Main Control locked

I held down the OK button for several seconds and the message vanished. On releasing the OK button, the problem reappeared. I intend to put a rubber glue (one that can be removed) which hardens on application, to hold down the OK button in the pressed position. Hope this solves the problem.

How to disable theft mode on monitor philips? 276E 4K

The theft deterrence option is available from the SmartControl software that runs on a Windows PC connected to the 276E monitor. See https://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/276E8VJSB_27/4k-ultra-hd-lcd-monitor/support . Scroll down to the Software & drivers section. Then unzip the file to install it. Inside the software, the theft deterrence item is under the Options section of the menu. Since a PIN is needed to enable or disable the "feature". It seems unlikely to be enabled accidentally. Did someone else use the monitor for a while? Are you using a different computer with the Philips 276E? I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Image flashes for one second on screen then goes away

There could be a few different issues that could cause the behavior you're describing. Here are a few possibilities:

HDMI connection issue: Make sure the HDMI cable is properly connected to both the TV and the laptop. If you're using a HDMI splitter or HDMI switch, make sure those are also properly connected.

HDMI port issue: If you've tried multiple HDMI cables and still have the issue, there could be an issue with the HDMI port on the TV or laptop. You could try a different HDMI port on the TV or laptop, or use a different device to see if the issue persists.

Display settings: Make sure the display settings on the laptop are set to display on the external monitor (the TV in this case). If the laptop is set to display on the built-in monitor, it may cause the display to flash on and off.

Hardware issue: If none of the above solutions help, there could be a hardware issue with the TV or laptop. It's possible that the display controller or other hardware component is faulty and causing the display to flash on and off. In this case, it may be necessary to have the device repaired or replaced.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I CANNOT PLAY REGION A DVDS ON MY 3D BLU/RAY

No disc in tray Press Home Scroll to settings input code: 13893108520 The settings will pop up and you will see that the DVD region is now set to 0 (meaning region free). I have checked the hack on a BDP8000 (region 2)and it sets the region to 0 (the 7th. digit from the left) alright, but it does not make the player region free as a message from the disc (MGM) comes and tell that the disc is not supposed to be played in this region. The region on the player can be changed to the region by changing the "x" in 138931x8520 to the actual region you want to play.Try this out. The hack codec for blue ray are not yet published so it is not possible to make Blue Rays totally region free as of now.
