When I bought my HP 7540 montitor i was under the impression that HP is supposed to be a good brand. I should have known better to be honest. My monitor is not even 2 years old and i have a serious problem. The settings that come up when pressing the menu button on the monitor just comes up by itself and obviously stands in the way of any or every window in the background.
Obviously that means i cant do ANYTHING unless i manage to get rid of that settings window. It has taken me AGES to figure out what the cause of is but i finally have (at least i believe I have) even if ive done it rather primitively. Im not an expert when fixing electrical appliances but there seems to be some kind of problem with the "contact" inside of the buttons. Maybe , maybe not.
Before I go any further let me emphasize that I have NEVER used the buttons since ive never needed to (until now of course) Furthermore let me mention that I treat ALL my appliances with respect and the monitor is no exception so it was never bumped, nothing fell on it and it certainly didnt fall on anything.
How did I primitively solve the problem in the end? I had to place a small toothpick between two of the buttons (the two on the left hand side) thereby "keeping them slightly apart" and the problem seems solved (for now)
I doubt whether i will get a HP again.
