Monitor's "Control Lock/Unlocked" menu appears by itself

My SAMTRON 78DF monitor is having a problem. The Monitor's menu appears by itself. It was discussed in a previous description but not resolved. It shows the control lock window and will fluctuate between locked and unlocked without activation of the menu button on the monitor itself. The control lock window is switching between the CONTROL LOCK and UNLOCKED mode every each 5 seconds and is smack in the middle of the screen. When unlocked I can press the exit button and it will change to the blue - access function window but the up down buttons do not work. It will then go back to the red locked window and continue through the rotation. Please advise...

    I called Samtron and they couldn't help me and said it has to be serviced as, of course, my warranty is expired.

Problem with Control Panel
It sounds like theres a front panel button that has become intermittant and making contact all by itself. Sometimes when you clean the screen, the cleaner will drip down between the crt face aqnd the cabinet and make the switch in front go bad. Im not sure if this is the case in your problem but its a start. If you didnt spill anything or drip anything into the front panel then your maicroprocessor could be causeing the problem, or the 5 volts that feed the micro could be noisy ie, bad filter capacitor in the power supply. Now as im sure your aware of the hi voltage inside these sets? Its best if you dont have the training to get a pro to assist you as this hi voltage can hang around inside the set even if its unplugged. Good Luck
