Hi Mandalavijay,

To unlock your monitor you need to hold two keys simultaneously for about 5 seconds.

In this case for your model you need to press the 1 key and the down arrow key and a message will appear which reads ' OSD Unlock'

Hope this helps...:) Your feedback would be appreciated.

· The OSD Lock Out Message

Power your computer completely off and then remove the monitor cable from the port on the back side of the computer case. Reattach the cable and make sure the pins are correctly screwed in all of the way. Power the computer back on and check to see if the OSD lock out message is still being displayed.

Check the manual that came with your computer or monitor and locate the troubleshooting section if you are still receiving the OSD lock out message. Find the OSD lock out heading and read the method that your particular model of monitor uses to remove the lock out. Follow the instructions to remove the lock out.

Attempt generic lock out removal procedures if you no longer have the manual that came with your monitor. Press and hold the "Menu" button located at the bottom end of your monitor for 15 seconds and wait to see if the OSD lock out message disappears.

· 4

Press the "Menu" button again if the lock out message remains on the screen. Use the arrow buttons to navigate through the main menu options. Highlight the "Settings" or "OSD Menu" option and then hit the Menu key again to access the new list of settings.

The OSD Settings Menu
Scroll down to the "OSD Lock" heading. Use the arrow keys to change the setting to "No." Hit the Menu key again to return to the main menu. Scroll over to the "Exit" setting and then hit the Menu key a final time to exit the menu setting and remove the OSD lock out

The problem is caused by either its main controller board or button controller board.

Well, I will try to change button board first, because it's cheap.

If you have never open up the LCD monitor, please don't open it up and try to fix!
Either you will damage the monitor when you open and/or be shocked by high voltage electricity!!

The OSD can be enabled or disabled by pressing and holding the Menu button on the front panel for 10 seconds. If the OSD is locked, the warning message OSD Lock displays for ten seconds. If the OSD is locked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to unlock the OSD.

How to remove OSD lock from View sonic monitor

d problem is in a transistor costing little, situated near d monitor's osd control ic (microprocessor), it is probably short....[refer the connection n area around the front panel cn connector and crystal clock generator]..
in case case of 45Bn & 55V..look for Controller Reset IC201/IC202 (KA7045/KA7045AP) [it is a small alike transistor 3 pin IC !!] along with the afore said..
and in case of 56V..look for +14V SW. Transistor A1281 & C945 (therein) along with the afore said..
..beware u must b a professional..
contact ur system admin/vendor....
