    ANY SOLUTIONS?

    At this point you are having the Logic board problem which can be due to bad power supply (bad caps, regulators) or bad EPROM. You will need to do more in-depth troubleshooting with the help of the service manual, it may not be worth it at this point.

Brightness bar stays in the center of my screen Samsung SyncMaster 731N

Hello,

I'm Adam and i'm a computer-technicien!

I should do these 2 things do hide this brightness bar:

-You can click the MENU button again!
-You can simply disconnect the power-cable from the monitor and
let it unplugged for like...10-15 seconds!
-You can remove the button with a screw-driver and take the
little plastic on the second button.

If this all doesn't work...
I can recommend you to send a email to SAMSUNG with this info:
-Name:
-Date when you bought this product:
-When did this start:
-And your CPU information:

If this all doesn't help...
You ned to install a driver called 'Syncmaster 720n/730n driver'!

Thank you,

Probably not only because I found several forums and the same claim as is my case .. initially function to adjust the brightness automatically .. 100% ... like I keep the button pressed continuously .....

Check out this link below for a PDF manual for your monitor. You can also update your drivers. There is a support here also. Just copy and paste into your browser.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

The brightness menu screen is stuck on!

Please try to turn the monitor off. Hold down the Menu button while the monitor is turned off, then press the Power button again to turn the monitor back on. This should unlock your OSD menu from your screen. regards

On screen controls have a mind of their own

The buttons are stuck - If the screen is out of warranty then i would take it apart and see if he buttons can be unplugged or cleaned up.

If in warranty Samsung is excellent with repair service. - Depending on the model LCD its either 1 or 3 years warranty.
