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.

I hope this helps.

    If you provide your model, I'll check my stack of manuals to see if Viewsonic changed the Lock procedure. Alternatively, seehttp://www.viewsonic.com and look for your model and the manual the site. Many Viewsonic models are listed.

I have a Viewsonic flat-screen tv, it displays "menu locked" ??

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 was wondering if you could tell me how to reset the timer after I have installed a new lamp. Can you help me? tv is a panasonic pt-56dlx25 Thanks, dave

Plug the power cord back into the properly grounded wall outlet. Then press the POWER button on the projection display or the remote control to turn the power on.

2. While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the PIP or SPLIT button on the remote control simultaneosly for more than 5 seconds.

3. Whe the lamp time reset procedure is complete, the screen will display "LAMP TIME WAS RESET TO 0." When the lamp time is reset, the LAMP indicator will go out

Powerlock Enable

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.
