It had 4 buttons on the front of the monitor that had to do with the settings. (Exit, sunshine symbol, circle with line down the middle symbol, and Menu) and i ripped the button's covers off and used tweezers to fiddle the actual buttons around and it's gotten to where now it isn't up constantly but it still pops up randomly every now and again, and sometimes it'll go away instantly but sometimes it'll stay until i fiddle with it again. Sometimes it's annoying, how can i permanently fix this problem?
It happens due to excess moisture in air when the switch gets shorted by itself due to dust accumulation ,If in warranty pls log a call or else get it checked by a monitor repair person all monitors have same switch's
SOURCE: Menu randomly pops up while pushing no buttons....
It sounds like an issue with the power button board and I would certainly make use of the warranty option.
SOURCE: menu keeps popping up
Never a good idea to clean with any spray cleaner. The cleaner does get down in the button bar and cause corrosion and shorting along ribbon cable. Use screen wipes for computer monitors only on TV's and any type of monitors. You can remove the back of the case. And remove the button board and clean with a cue tip and alcohol along ribbon cable.

A friend of mine had the exact same same problem. I think I fixed it, because it has been 2 hours, without the menu popping up. You need to open the monitor:
- Place it face-down on a flat surface
- Remove the cover of the hinge by gripping it with both hands and gently squeezing and pulling.
- Undo the 4 screws and remove the stand (base)
- Undo the four screws tha hold the cover down (4 corners)
- Use a flat screwdriver to seperate the 2 halves (I used 2, a small one to lift the back, a bigger one for leverage)
You will see a small PCB, fastened by 3 screws, at the bottom (where your menu+on/off buttons are) with a ribbon connection to the screen. Next:
- Unscrew the PCB, and gently lift it out.
- Clean the microswitches and the ribbon cable connection.
- Reassemble the monitor.
To clean microswitches and the connection, I used Kontakt Video 90 spray. There must be sprays on the market where you are. It's basically an alcohol-based cleaning spray. Good for cleaning video/tape/floppy heads, CD/DVD lenses, memory modules, etc.
Good luck!
SOURCE: Lock/unlock symbol appears in the middle of the screen
hold the menu button between 10 and 20 seconds until the lock changes to unlock
SOURCE: Brightness/contrast window pops up and scrolls through fast
The up/down button on your flat panel is stuck. Please contact Dell Technical Support to have the monitor replaced if its still within warranty.
