Unlocking the controls on a COMPAQ V570?

[Mr. 4X]

Hi all!

I have the following problem with a COMPAQ V570 monitor:

The internal controlling chip locked the keys (when I press any of the 4
keys on the front of the monitor, the menu just says 'Controls locked'). (I
think it happened because the keyboard was pushed close to the monitor and
the back edge of the keyboard pushed the keys of the monitor, and the
controller chip disabled them for safety, just like in a cell phone.)

I need to unlock the menu to change some options. I tried to turn the
monitor on and off but the keys are still locked (the menu says the same
message). How can I unlock them?

Thanks for any help!

Push and hold the menu button for more than 10 seconds.
