I understand that you are experiencing a Power Button Lockout and require assistance. According to page 22 of the HP 2311x User Guide. Power Button Lockout indicates the power button is locked. If the power button is locked, the warning message Power Button Lockout appears.
If the power button is locked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to unlock the power button function.
 If the power button is unlocked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to lock out the power button function

  • Monitor "Power Button Lockout" and shuts down all the time!

    I have a HP 2009m 20" diagonial HD Ready LCD Monitor
    I am using Windows Vista 64-bit
    "Power Button Lockout" message
    A few days ago, completely randomly, my monitor started flashing this message "Power Button Lockout".  Now the message is projected on the screen all day every day, when I'm trying to use the computer, the monitor will shut off, the power button is practically useless, and none of the other function (menu, volume, or source) buttons work on the monitor.  Please help!

    Try to reset monitor to factory configuration.
    Unplug monitor from power and hold the power button for 60 sec.
    Then plug the monitor back in and power it up.
    Else - it sounds like the button or the switch under the button is damaged. Maybe you can repair/replace it with another mirco-switch?

  • HP ZR2240w Power Button lockout, monitor powers off

    This is regarding a HP ZR2240w Monitor.  Occasionally "Power Button Lockout" will apear on the screen and about 10 seconds later the monitor will lose power.  This occurs with any type of input (VGA, HDMI, DVI).  If the power is left plugged in, it will sometimes come back on at random times.  Sometimes unplugging the power and plugging it back in will resolve the issue, but usually only stays on for a few minutes before repeating the process.

    I understand you are having difficulty with the Power Button Lockout on the monitor. I would recommend you follow the steps I have set out below:
    Step 1. Turn off the monitor
    Step 2. Unplug the power cord from the wall and from the monitor
    Step 3. Hold down the power button for 1 minute
    Step 4. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and ensure it is plugged directly into the wall
    *** If the issue persists try the next set of steps.
    Step 5. Press the MENU button on the monitor
    Step 6. Navigate to the Factory Reset Option and reset the monitor
    If the problem persists after this the issue appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend!

    Hi,
    Power Button Lockout is displayed.
    The monitor's Power Button Lockout function is enabled.
    Press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds to unlock the Power button function.
    If the above doesn't work then try a monitor reset.  Unplug the monitor’s power cord and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up.

  • Monitor message" Power Button Lockout"

    New HP 23" monitor -  HP 2310m   Accidentally held down the power button too long; now I can't get the monitor to turn completely off. When the computer is shut off the monitor goes to the sleep mode with the orange LED (on/off switch) always lit orange. How can I turn the monitor off completely and clear the message  "Power Button Lockout"? thank you

    From the manual: Power Button Lockout— Indicates the power button is locked. If the power button is locked, the warning message Power Button Lockout displays. ◦ If the power button is locked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to unlock the power button function. ◦ If the power button is unlocked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to lock out the power button function. Cheers, 

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

  • Can't turn my monitor off. I just get message "Power button lockout"

    can't turn off my monitor....only get message "Power button lockout"

    Hello imajo2,
    When pressing the power button you get the message “Power button lockout”, is that correct? I will try to help you with this issue.
    Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds and that should disable that function.
    Let me know if this helps.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it? Please Help

    wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
    will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.

  • I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

    I have same issue. I click on the home button and Wake/sleep at the same time for 30 seconds or more and then the phone entered in Recovery mode. It is erasing my content now and installing the update. Let´s see how this ends. I have iCloud, iTunes match, and backups from previos versions, hope I can restore all my content.
    Otherwise I´ll go to the Genius Bar to do a checkup.
    Good luck!
    It did not work the first time... The iPhone4 kept in limbo. Then I did disconnect as suggested above and tried again to enter in Recovery mode.  This second time it works. And after restoring the iPhone4 with 7.0.3, it asked me if I want to recover from backup. I did recover from my latest back up and now it is syncing the content.
