Some Viewsonic monitors have a Power Lock feature. However, these tend to be on the monitors (like the Viewsonic VA2265Smh) with only 5 control buttons. To toggle off the power lock, press and hold the button labeled 1 (Menu/Save/Exit) and the down arrow button for 10 seconds. The N2201W TV has more buttons than that. There is no Power Lock identified in my Viewsonic TV manuals. However, you might try the press and hold Menu/Down arrow combination.
Try disabling the lock by pressing and holding [1] (menu) and the down arrow on the front panel for 10 seconds or so. This toggles the power lock on and off for several Viewsonic monitors.
Try holding the VOL + and VOL - buttons on the TV (not on the remote) down together. You should see a "unlocking buttons" message on screen. This might work. However, I tried it repeatedly, as told to by the Viewsonic "service" rep, and it didn't work for me. Viewsonic is ****, and so is its "service"!
I had the same issue on my Viewsonic N3752w The online guide, said I had to press VOL+ and Menu at the same time, but forgot to say a) it's from the TV buttons NOT the remote!!! b) you need to keep pressing these 2 until it stop saying "Power unlocking" but Unlocked.
There are buttons on the bottom of the monitor. Counting from the left, hold down buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and this will disable the power lock feature. At least that's what I have to do on my 19" model ViewSonic.
To get rid of the power button enable you need to either press and hold the power button on the tv ( not on the remote control pad) for approx 15 seconds or if that does not work do the same using the source button
Initially, could you pls try lowering the Screen Resolution of the PC itself. In some instances you may need to likewise lower the Screen Refresh Rate of the PC. Both can be adjusted inside the Display Properties.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
I hve the same problem with mine -- any solutions?
