Question I have the Samsung SyncMaster 731N monitor. There is a graphic that stays in the center my monitor for 5-10 minutes, goes away then pops up again. It is the one that comes up if you are adjusting the brightness of the screen. I have tried pushing all the buttons, unplugging the monitor both from the electric & the computer. Still there. You can not turn the monitor off or on while this graphic is on. It says Brightness - then has the slide bar & 100 on it. This monitor is 2 yrs old. HELP!!
Answer Buy some canned air from an office supply store. use the canned air to blow out all the vent holes of the monitor. Also unplug the monitor.
Also open your computer case and use the canned air to blow the computer out also. Pay special attention to fans and the power supply. The power supply will have vent holes on 2 sides make sure you blow in both vents really well.
If you have an add on video card, make sure it is snug in its, slot. You may want to actually remove it and reinsert it into it's slot.Leave the monitor unplugged for about one day. Move any speakers away from the monitor. After about one day plug the monitor back in. Use the buttons on the front to enter the monitor menu and if reset is available choose to reset.
